During a feast wife of the king Bolesław the Brave touching her husband's chest asks him if he regrets giving a severe sentence of death. When her husband says yes, she informs him that she has hidden the convicts and they survived. At least that is what Gallus Anonymus claims. This story was adapted by Jan Długosz, late medieval penman in his "Annales", though he changed details of it, which shows shifts in attitudes towards women's influence on emotions of their husbands in the late medieval Poland in comparison to the 12th century. As Długosz himself claims, a wife is supposed to mitigate her husband's emotions, but he mostly presented cases in which it the opposite is true. In this paper I shall present the way in which Długosz adapted and constructed tales first, about the influence of women on emotions of their husbands, and second, how women themselves regulate their emotions. I use the concept of emotional communities, which shows multiple ways of thinking about emotions.
