What happens
In 1572 the Jagiellon Dynasty was extinct and a new king was elected. His name was Henri d'Anjou. On his election he was forced to sign what has later been called the Henrykian Articles, which rectified that Poland was an elective monarchy from then on. He also signed the Pacta Conventa, which was a formal contract between the elected monarch and the Sejm. In practice the monarch lost all power over his country. He had no power over governmental officials, and he had a mere 3000 men strong Royal Army. To get anything extra he had to plead with the Sejm for permission. At this moment Poland effectively stopped being a monarchy, as the monarch was a mere figurehead, and instead a true Noble Republic.
