Bogurodzica (The Mother of God) is the oldest Polish hymn. It was written in the 10th-13th century, although its origin is not clear.

Polish knights sang it as an anthem before the Battle of Grunwald and during the battle with the Turkish army at Varna in 1444. Bogurodzica accompanied also the coronation ceremonies of the first Jagiellonian kings.
