Link to the lesson You will learn about the polish attitude towards Napoleon, and his attitude towards the Polish cause; to list the examples of Polish engagement on Napoleon Bonaparte's side. Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Nagranie abstraktu The military confrontation between France and Austria, Prussia and Russia preceding the establishment of peace terms in Tilst made the Polish cause a bargain card of the European diplomacy. To Napoleon the Duchy of Warsaw was an important part of his Empire's political system. Not all Poles, however, supported cooperation with the French. Kościuszko, among others, was an opponent of linking the Polish cause with Napoleon. He flatly refused to cooperate with the French politicians who addressed him. He believed that Poles should fight for their freedom on their own. The enlargement of the area of the Duchy of Warsaw in 1809 undermined the relations between France and Russia. It was then that the idea of cooperation with the Tsar returned, brought back by Czartoryski at Alexander I's request. Nonetheless, the idea was rejected by the Duchy's authorities. The dilemma returned after Napoleon's defeat in Moscow. Prince Józef Poniatowski, stationed with the Polish troops in Kraków, having thought the situation through ultimately refused to go over to the Russian side. Napoleon's defeat in Leipzig and Poniatowski's death in October 1813 marked the end of the Polish pro‐French orientation. Task 1 Read the text. Who among Poles supported Napoleon? Who believed we should not rely on France? Why? Inially, in the era of formaon of the Polish legions in Italy, the supporters of fighng by Napoleon's side derived mainly from the circles of polical radicals (called the Polish Jacobins), urban people and pey nobility. It was not unl the French military confrontaon with Austria, Prussia and Russia that the Polish cause became a bargaining card of the European diplomacy and the circle of cooperators in the Polish society expanded. When the French armies entered the Prussian paron, in the course of talks held with Dąbrowski and Wybicki in Berlin in the autumn of 1806 Napoleon put the responsibility for the possible formaon of an independent Polish state on Jan Henryk Dąbrowski the shoulders of Poles. The speed at which they Source: Jan Henryk Dąbrowski., oil on canvas, organized administraon and army aer the domena publiczna. disaster of Poland's paroning in years 1805-1806 clearly impressed the Emperor. It was then that Napoleon started to noce the direct link between the power interests of France and the Polish cause for the first me. It put the pro-French orientaon, reborn aer the legion's episode in a privileged posion within the Polish society. In 1807, winning aristocracy and richer nobility, who then had the strongest polical and socioeconomic posion on the Polish territory proved to be the breakthrough. This cooperaon was manifested by the involvement of Prince Józef Poniatowski, the nephew of the last King of Poland. By taking the helm in the military maers of the Duchy of Poland, he set aside general Henryk Dąbrowski, the creator of the Polish Legions in Italy. For the Polish polical elites it also meant the rejecon of the Prince Adam Czartoryski's pro-Russian concept, which he had been developing since 1803, i.e. since he took management of the Russian foreign policy at Tsar Alexander I's side. It assumed the connecon of all Polish territories under the Tsar's rule. Prince Józef Poniatowski was the favourite of a significant part of the Polish society. Leist idealists, however, preferred Tadeusz Kościuszko, seeing him as the incarnaon of democrac and republican tradions. The leader of the uprising against Russia in 1794 and a naonal hero, following his liberaon from the Russian imprisonment he emigrated to Switzerland. He flatly refused to cooperate with Napoleon. He believed that Poles should fight for their independence on their own, resorng to peasants. Józef Pawlikowski, Kościuszko's secretary presented the views of the Leader in a brochure tled Can the Poles win back their independence?, published in 1800.

  • Writers of the Time of National Partition on the Jasna Góra Pilgrimage Route
    PEREGRINUS CRACOVIENSIS Zeszyt 3, 1996 ISBN 83−904441−5−1 / ISSN 1425−1922 Franciszek Ziejka Writers of the time of national Partition on the Jasna Góra pilgrimage route 1. At the feet of Saint Mary n January 4, 1842 Adam Mickiewicz, lecturing at the College de France described Jasna Góra as: “a famous place, known to all Slavs as the O destination of their pilgrimages, similar to Casa Santa of Loretto.”1 . Facts confirm the accuracy of these words. For more than six centuries now, one has observed a continuous flow of pilgrims on all roads leading to Częstochowa. The faithful from all over Poland as well as many other countries hurry there. Among them one can see the sick and the poor, children and students, miners and scholars, farmers and politicians. For centuries Poles, Czechs, Moravians, Slovaks, Hungarians, Croatians, Lithuanians and Russians have hastened there to meet at the foot of Saint Mary’s throne. The pilgrimages of Polish kings to Jasna Góra was one of the most beautiful Polish traditions dating back to the very first years of the Icon of the Mother of God’s presence in Częstochowa (it was probably brought here in 1382). Although we lack any written records directly confirming the visits of King Władysław Jagiełło (Ladislaus Jagiello) to Jasna Góra, historians believe that he made several pilgrimages to Częstochowa2 . It is worth mentioning that Jagiełło was not only the re−founder of the monastery at Jasna Góra (1393), but also a ruler who, in the year 1430, after learning of the raid on Jasna Góra and the destruction of the Holy Icon was ready to declare war on the Czechs, as Hussites were initially suspected of the attack.

Sceny te są mocnym punktem odniesień do naszych dziejów z okresu panowania Wazów. W zbiorach muzeum są XIX-wieczne kopie olejne niektórych z tych malowideł, zrealizowane w czasie ich restauracji prowadzonej przez arty­ stę malarza Aleksandra Rycerskiego w latach 1860-1862. Ponadto w muzeum jest grupa muzealiów, w tym około 100 obrazów, które zaliczamy do malarstwa historycznego oraz historyczno-rodzajowego i te przed­ stawimy dołączając ich indeks na końcu artykułu.

  • Tomasz Zieliński I Jego Zbiory
    Irena Jakimowicz Tomasz Zieliński i jego zbiory Rocznik Muzeum Świętokrzyskiego 6, 239-389 1970 IRENA JAKIMOWICZ TOMASZ ZIELIŃSKI I JEGO ZBIORY Gdyby nam w Kielcach o Zielińskim mówić przyszło, dość byłoby pokazać mu­ zeum jego — a to najwymowniej opowiedziałoby wszystkie zasługi i niezmordowaną pracę zbieracza. [...] Wszędzie coś mówi ci o sztuce i przeszłości, a myśl spokojna ucieka w głębię duszy, budząc uczucie wdzięczności dla człowieka, co umiał tak się rozmiłować w pięknym i ojczystym, że w swym małym na pozór ogródku masz wszystko ręką jego utulone — pisał w r. 1860 Józef Łepkowskii. Muzeum Tomasza Zielińskiego w Kielcach już nie istnieje. Zbiory, wbrew życzeniom i zamiarom właściciela, uległy rozproszeniu niedługo po jego śmierci. Przetrwał do dziś, choć nie bez pewnych uszczerbków, stanowiący niegdyś ich pomieszczenie, pałacyk z ogrodem w Kielcach przy ul. Zamko­ wej, przetrwała pamięć zarówno o wspaniałej kolekcji, jak i o niecodziennej postaci samego kolekcjonera. Zwykłą koleją rzeczy pamięć jednak, nie kon­ trolowana u źródeł, obrosła w ciągu stu lat w legendę. Złożyły się na nią prócz mniej lub bardziej ścisłych informacji rzeczowych zarówno elementy panegi- ryczne, jak i rosnące z upływem czasu plotki i insynuacje, na które musiały być przecież podatne tak bardzo niejednoznaczne losy warszawskiego polic­ majstra i powiatowego kacyka — jednocześnie miłośnika sztuki i ojczystych starożytności, przyjaciela zbieraczy i uczonych, mecenasa artystów. Światła i cienie legendy rozkładają się w sposób charakterystyczny i nie bez pewnej prawidłowości. Wspominali z uznaniem „dziwnego komisarza” i „ulubieńca całej Warszawy” dawni bywalcy salonu w domu przy kościele Karmelitów2. Warszawscy malarze długie lata pamiętali o dobrodziejstwach swego protektora i znaczeniu jego galerii dla rozwoju krajowego malarstwa.

  • The Polish Legions
    The Napoleon Series Reviews Rawkins, W.J. Foreign Regiments in French Service 1795 – 1814 Vol. 5: the Polish Legions. History Bookman, 2017. E-Book. 234 pages. £4 This is the 16th book in Bill Rawkins’ revamped Armies and Uniforms of the Napoleonic Wars series. Recent books include ones on the Austrian Army, Swiss Troops in the Service of France, and the Royal Saxon Army. Before I continue I need to stipulate that The Polish Legions covers the Polish troops in the French Army and not the troops that were part of the Duchy of Warsaw. Like its predecessors, The Polish Legions follows the same basic format. It begins with a 65 page history of their service starting with the partitions of Poland in 1732, 1792, and 1794, and the formation of the Legii Polskie under Jan Dabrowski in Italy. There are 16 pages on the early service of the Poles in Italy, along the Danube, and in Haiti; and another 12 pages on their activities in 1806 – 1807. The book also includes a dozen pages on the history of the Vistula Legion in Spain and Russia, and finishes with a look at the Polish units in the Imperial Guard. The majority of The Polish Legions (150 pages) examines in detail the organization and uniforms of the various units that formed Napoleon’s Polish Legions. These include The Polish Legions in Italy 1797-1799 The Danube Légion 1799-1802 Demi-Brigades ‘Polonais’ 1801-1803 Lanciers Polonais 1801-1807 Hussards Polonais 1807 Légion du Nord 1806-1807 Légion Polacco-Italienne Légion de la Vistula 1808-1813 Lanciers de la Légion de la Vistula 1808-1811 © 1995 – 2017 The Napoleon Series The organization section of each unit covers the unit headquarters, the subordinate headquarters, battalion structure, and company organization.

  • Finland/Sweden Historical Wars
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY Finland/Sweden Historical Wars 1 INTRODUCTION This book describes the historical times of the wars and battles when Finland was still a part of Sweden. It precedes the history of when Finland became independent, which is in the book “Finland’s Independence, the Birth” . I have not included all battles but enough to give a picture of how we have almost constantly been at war. It is also about our relatives at those times. In most cases I mention a person only once, although that person has been part of many other battles. Many of the persons are the Swedish and Finnish rulers and officers when Sweden was a major European power. The following words from the “Tales of Ensign Stål” by Runeberg illustrate the accomplishments of these heroes in the poem set to music in the “March of the Björneborgers”. The poem mentions just four battlefields. In this book I have listed many more from the First Crusade almost 900 years ago to the brief fight in 1854 at Halkokari in my hometown Gamlakarleby in Finland. “Sons of fathers brave who bled On Poland’s sand on Narva’s moor, At Leipzig, Lützen, never stinting. Think not Finland’s might is dead, Still with hostile blood a battlefield is red.” You can listen to this message our distant relatives send us, their descendants and relatives at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypwjJedZPIg and see some the war scenes at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54YSkW4sJU4&feature=related Some of the persons described are our direct ancestors, most are distant cousins from common ancestors.

Link to the lesson You will learn where the most important battles of the Polish Legions in Italy took place; to indicate the location of the Duchy of Warsaw on the map; to describe the system and territory of the Duchy of Warsaw, its achievements and failures. Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Nagranie abstraktu On January 9, 1797, at the initiative of Jan Henryk Dąbrowski, Polish Legions were founded in Italy. Already after several months, the number of legionnaires has grown to over 8,000. Initially, the legions fought with the Austrian army in Italy and then all over Europe (including Switzerland, the Netherlands and Bavaria), and after the conclusion of the peace in Luneville in 1801, some of them were sent to San Domingo. Out of 6,000 soldiers only a few hundred returned to Europe after a few years. In total, 20,000 people were killed of the 35,000 who passed through the legionary ranks. The Duchy of Warsaw was created under the French‐Russian peace treaty signed in Tilsit Source: January Suchodolski, Wjazd gen. Jana Henryka in July 1807. Poles recovered 1/7 of the former Dąbrowskiego do Rzymu, domena publiczna. territory of the Republic. Two years later, after the well‐fought battle of Raszyn (19 April 1809) under Prince Józef Poniatowski, and the defeat of Austria by Napoleon in the next war, the boundaries of the Duchy of Warsaw expanded significantly.
