  • Marriage, Inheritance, and Family Discord: French Elite and the Transformation of the Polish Szlachta
    Blackburn: Marriage, Inheritance, and Family Discord 2 WORLD HISTORY REVIEW / Summer 2004 MARRIAGE, INHERITANCE, AND FAmily DISCORD: FRENCH ELITE AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE POLISH SZLACHTA by Christopher Blackburn [M. Damon to M. Wisdom] As to philosophy, you should know that our present age is one of enlightenment. Along with English frock coats, philosophy has come into vogue. In the boudoirs of the most fashionable ladies, right next to embroidery hoops and face powder you will find volumes of M. Rousseau, the philosophical works of Voltaire, and other writings of that sort. —Ignacy Krasicki (1776) Several important themes permeate Monsieur Damon’s instruc- tions to his aristocratic pupil. Most significant is not that Poland was a part of the general European Enlightenment, but that Polish enlight- ened thought resided primarily within “fashionable” elite circles and was ultimately based on the writings of the French philosophes. The wholesale acceptance of French culture brought a clear and conscious change to the szlachta’s traditionally Sarmatian character, while at the same time the szlachta family was unconsciously transformed by the more subtle Western notions of kinship and affective individual- ism, a process that culminated with the reign of the last enlightened despot—Napoleon Bonaparte.2 The mentalité of the Polish nobility was recast in the eighteenth century as its membership embraced selectively certain aspects of both the Enlightenment and ancien régime France. The piecemeal acceptance of these ideas by the traditionally Sarmatian nobility led to the evolution of an ideology resembling Enlightened Sarmatianism—one that embraced formal education, individualism, and Western appearance, which coexisted with agrarianism, anti-urbanism, and devotion to the Church.3 Once again the szlachta displayed its paradoxical nature by Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2003 1 World History Review, Vol.

  • Mariusz Nowak PUBLIC CONTROVERSIES OVER ZYGMUNT
    STUDIA HUMANISTYCZNO-SPOŁECZNE (HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) 10 2015 Edited by Radosław Kubicki and Wojciech Saletra Mariusz Nowak The Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce PUBLIC CONTROVERSIES OVER ZYGMUNT WIELOPOLSKI’S VOLUNTARY SERVICE IN THE TSARIST ARMY (1849-1855) DURING THE CONGRESS KINGDOM OF POLAND The article raises the issue of military service of Count Zygmunt Wielopolski (1833-1902),1 the eldest son of Margrave Aleksander Wielopolski (1803-1877),2 the Entailer of Chroberz and supporter of the agreement between Polish elites and the Russian Tsar. At the beginning of the 1850s this issue triggered heated discussions among the elites of the Kingdom of Poland on the limits of cooperation between representatives of the Polish nobility, “the former political nation” of the pre- partitioned Republic and the Russian “invading government”, suppressor of the recent November Uprising. It should be underlined at the outset that the case of Count Zygmunt Wielopolski’s voluntary entering into the tsarist army was not altogether unprecendented in Polish society. However, his case triggered widespread public attention in the Kingdom owing to highly controversial political calculations of Count Zygmunt’s father, Margrave Aleksander. The latter hoped, in fact, that this gesture of his will win the partitioning tsarist authorities and bend them to negotiate on the restoration of the autonomy for the Congress Kingdom of Poland, which was disestablished as part of repressions for 1 Zygmunt Wielopolski (1803-1877), the Entailer of Chroberz, acting as the president of War- saw from 08/1862-09/1863; the director of the Government Committee for Religious Affairs and Public Enlightenment in 1863; a counsel of the Central Committee of Land Credit Society in years 1876-1900; administrator of Łowicz Duchy; active in addressing and sending memori- als to the Tsar.

Czyż Uniwersytet Przyrodniczo-Humanistyczny w Siedlcach, Wydział Humanistyczny [email protected] „Kronika pałacowa Zamoyskich z Adampola” ks. Romana Soszyńskiego z 1970 roku ”Zamoyski family’s palace chronicle from Adampol” by Reverend Roman Soszyński dating back to 1970 ABSTRACT The Zamoyskis are one of the most distinguished noble families in Poland’ history. It traces its origin to the 12th century. Jan Zamoyski, the first entailer, founded the Entail in 1589 and it was then recognized by the Seym in the same year. The lands of Włodawa became part of the substantial estate belonging to the Zamoyski family at the end of the 18th century as a result of the marriage of Zofia Czartoryski to Stanisław Kostka Zamoyski. Since 1837, one can talk about the Włodawa line of the Zamoyski family. The seat of the latifundium was located in Różanka, north of Włodawa, where stood the 18th century palace that had belonged to the former landowners. Destroyed during World War I, it has never been rebuilt. The Zamoyski family, who wished to frequent and administer the property, erected a new seat in nearby Adampol, in the western part of the estate. The classical palace was built in 1923-1927 based on the Jan Koszyc-Witkiewicz’s design. Here in the new seat of the family, headed by its owner Count Konstanty, they could live peacefully until the outbreak of World War II. Key words: Adampol, Chronicle, Zamoyski, source, property, entailer Słowa kluczowe: Adampol, Kronika, Zamoyscy, źródło, majątek, ordynat Zamoyscy to jeden z najznamienitszych rodów szlacheckich, jakie miała Polska w swojej historii.

    LA BELLA PRINCIPESSA and THE WARSAW SFORZIAD Circumstances of Rebinding and Excision of the Portrait Katarzyna Woźniak 10.05.2015 In the study titled La Bella Principessa and the Warsaw Sforziad, published in January 2011, Professor Kemp provided evidence that the portrait of Bianca Sforza was a part of an illuminated book printed on vellum - La Sforziada by Giovannni Simonetta, stored in the National Library in Warsaw1. The excision took place, most probably, during the process of rebinding. This was done meticulously, as his paper showed, although the knife slipped at near the bottom of the left edge2. At that moment, the portrait and the book were separated from each other and ceased to share the same fortune. 1. Images indicating that portrait of La Bella Principessa was part of a bound volume Author: Pascal Cotte My research initiated as a result of this discovery shows that the most probable date of rebinding of the Warsaw copy of La Sforziada was the turn of the 18th and 19th century3.

  • Wedding and Coronation Ceremonies of Anne of Austria and Sigismund III Vasa in 1592

Wedding and coronation ceremonies of Anne of Austria and Sigismund III Vasa in 1592 ational and court ceremonies, which naturally include coronations and weddings of monarchs, have a long history Ndating back to the Middle Ages. The early modern era considerably developed and improved this tradition, granting it the suitable rank of a cultural as well as political event. It is difficult not to agree with the statement made by Albrycht Stanisław Radziwiłł on the essence of the royal marriage: ‘Małżeństwo zwykłych ludzi powstaje ze skłonności dusz, królów zaś dla zadowolenia poddanych’ [Marriage of ordinary people arises out of affection of souls, and that of kings for the contentment of the subjects]1. Apart from national (and family) functions of these events (funerals, coronations, weddings, births and christenings of children, etc.), these ceremonies were connected by another overriding idea, namely the willingness to show the power of the ruler and stability of his country. Due to mass participation in celebrating different events, members of the society could express their dedication to the dynasty and respect for it, which undoubtedly integrated the given community.

    Mariusz KULESZA Dorota KACZYŃSKA Department of Political Geography and Regional Studies University of Łódź, POLAND No. 11 MULTINATIONAL CULTURAL HERITAGE OF THE EASTERN PART OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF POLAND AND LITHUANIA Poland is a country with the largest territorial variation in the history of Europe. These changes involved not only the temporary gaining and losing some provinces that were later regained (as was the case for most European countries), but a transition of the country from its natural geographical frames deep into neighbouring ecumenes, while losing its own historical borders in the process. There were also times when the Polish state would disappear from the map of Europe for extended periods. Poland is also a country which for centuries was a place for foreigners where foreigners settled, lead here by various reasons, and left their mark, to a smaller or greater extent in the country's history. They also left numerous places in the Republic that became important not only for Poles. Today, these places belong to both Polish and non-Polish cultures and they become a very significant element of our cultural heritage, a deposit within Polish borders. Up until mid-14th century, Poland was a medium-sized, mostly ethnically homogenous country which faced west both culturally and economically. The eastern border of the country was also the border of Latin Christianity, with the Orthodox Ruthenia and Pagan Lithuania beyond it. In the second half of the 14th century, this situation changed significantly.
