The subject of legations sent by Kuyavian voivodeships to the royal court has not yet been discussed in historical literature. This work constitutes a supplement to the monograph by Adolf Pawiński devoted to the Kuyavian sejmik in Radziejów, in which these issues were completely ignored. The article makes use of the sejmik records of the Kuyavian voivodeships published by Pawiński, as well as other sources relating to this sejmik found in manuscripts. These include resolutions, instructions and credentials for the deputies, royal responses, letters of advice, and correspondence. This work gives an insight into the legations sent to the first compatriot kings, Michael I and John III Sobieski, through a critical analysis of the sources. Based on the preserved sources, it was possible to determine 12 legations sent to the royal court in the years 1669–1690. Initially, the legations consisted of four, and from 1672, of two persons. Twenty-three names were included among those who were sent to these rulers. They were land officials and representatives of the local nobility who had no offices or dignities. These legations were selected during relational, pre-sejm and mobilization sejmiks.
Artykuł recenzyjny książki Zbigniewa Hunderta pt. "Między buławą a tronem. Wojsko koronne w walce stronnictwa malkontentów z ugrupowaniem dworskim w latach 1669-1673", która jest efektem obronionej przez niego pracy doktorskiej.
During his less than five-year reign of the Commonwealth of Poland (1669–1673), King Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki addressed the Crown (e.g. Poland’s) nobility through proclamations almost 30 times. The majority of these documents were printed, only some of them were issued as manuscripts. The proclamations were addressed to all or almost all districts and provinces of the Crown (Polish part of the Commonwealth), their contents being usually the same or differing only in details. Many times those proclamations were issued with the same date for the whole Crown but there are also some in which dates were different. The content of proclamations cited in the paper shows that the prevalent ones were those which announced or repeated a call to arms to the levy en mass. The second largest group were proclamations summoning pre-Sejm dietines or post-Sejm i.e. reporting dietines. Less numerous were proclamations reminding the nobility about tax arrears and delays in forming troop detachments under the Sejm constitutions.
