Abstract

Different aspects of virginity in Poland between X and XXI century were presented. In early Midages (“Mieszko I times”) virginity before marriage was not highly valuated. This situation radically changed after introduction of christianity. From this time interrest in virginity and its various meanings became constantly vivid, but differently important and expressed in next centuries.
