Portrait of count Stanislas Potocki | Equestrian portrait of Stanisław Kostka Potocki ( 1781 )

The Marquis de Monti, France's ambassador in Warsaw, convinced the rival Potocki and Czartoryski families to unite behind Stanisław.

In Ukraine too, Count Nicholas Potocki kept on foot to support Stanisław a motley host of 50, 000 men, which was ultimately scattered by the Russians.

During the period of Enlightenment in Poland he was written about by poets and writers such as Stanisław Potocki, Franciszek Karpiński, Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz and Franciszek Ksawery Dmowski, and a biography by Michał Krajewski, cementing his legend of a hero rescuing Poland from anarchy and invasion, a legend that became even stronger during the times of the partitions of Poland in the 19th century, where the artists of the Polish romanticism period used him as a symbol of patriotism, and a reminder of military successes.

Some of the instigators of the confederation included Adam Stanisław Krasiński, Michał Hieronim Krasiński, Kajetan Sołtyk, Wacław Rzewuski, Michał Jan Pac, Jerzy August Mniszech, Joachim Potocki and Teodor Wessel.

John Casimir himself met with hetmans Stanisław Rewera Potocki, Jerzy Sebastian Lubomirski, Stanisław Lanckoroński and Stefan Czarniecki in Krosno, on December 31, 1655.

To face the new invader, the army of hetman Stanisław Rewera Potocki rushed southwards.

The joined forces began to follow the Polish Crown army under Stanisław Potocki, and Lithuanian army under Paweł Sapieha, to force their enemies to take on a decisive battle.

Over the following days, most of the Polish army surrendered to Sweden: on 26 October Koniecpolski surrendered with 5, 385 men near Kraków, on 28 October Field Crown Hetman Stanisław Lanckoroński and Great Crown Hetman Stanisław " Rewera " Potocki surrendered with 10, 000 men, and on 31 October the levy of Mazovia surrendered after the Battle of Nowy Dwór.

In 1555, Krzeszowice belonged to Stanisław Tęczynski, then it was owned by several noble families-the Sieniawski family, Opaliński family, Czartoryski family, Lubomirski family and, since 1816, the Potocki family.

Stanisławów was founded as a fortress in 1650 and was named after the Polish hetman Stanisław " Rewera " Potocki, although other sources claim it is named after his grandson ( see History of Ivano-Frankivsk ).

Stanisław " Rewera " Potocki after whom the city was named.

His relation with the King Stanisław II August was thorny, as Potocki, while often supportive of the King, on occasion did not shy from his critique.

Paul personally hired Brenna, then employed by Stanisław Kostka Potocki, in 1782, and used him in 1783 – 1785 to visualize his architectural fantasies.

The Sejm decided to increase the funds for the war after the battle of Górzno, where Stanisław Potocki was defeated.

Count Roman Ignacy Franciszek Potocki, generally known as Ignacy Potocki, (; 1750 – 1809 ), brother of Stanisław Kostka Potocki, was a Polish nobleman, owner of Klementowice and Olesin ( near Kurów ), Marshal of the Permanent Council ( Rada Nieustająca ) in 1778-1782, Grand Clerk of Lithuania from 1773, Court Marshal of Lithuania from 1783, Grand Marshal of Lithuania from 16 April 1791 to 1794, and a politician and writer.

He was the son of Eustachy Potocki and Marianna Kątska, brother of Jerzy Michał Potocki, Jan Nepomucen Eryk Potocki and Stanisław Kostka Potocki.

Polish historian Władysław Konopczyński, who wrote a monograph on Pulaski in 1931, noted that he was one of the most accomplished Polish people, grouping him with other Polish military heroes such as Tadeusz Kościuszko, Stanisław Żółkiewski, Stefan Czarniecki and Prince Józef Poniatowski.

Władysław formed a friendship with Adam Kazanowski and his brother, Stanisław.

While not a military genius, and surpassed by his contemporary, Commonwealth hetman Stanisław Koniecpolski, Władysław was known as a fairly skillful commander on his own.

During the wars against Ottomans in 1633 – 1634 Władysław moved the Commonwealth army south of the Muscovy border, where under command of hetman Stanisław Koniecpolski it forced the Turks to renew a peace treaty.

After that war, he moved to a more prestigious hussar unit ( rota ), and likely due to a reduction of the royal army, he served in the private formation of Władysław Myszkowski and later, voivode Stanisław Lubomirski.

In 1944, the Polish government in exile considered its position boosted, as the Polish forces in the West were making a substantial contribution to the war: in May, the Second Corps under general Władysław Anders stormed the fortress of Monte Cassino and opened a road to Rome, in August general Stanisław Maczek's 1st Armored Division distinguished itself at the battle of Falaise, in September general Stanisław Sosabowski's Parachute Brigade fought hard at the battle of Arnhem.

Before False Dmitri II could gain the throne, the Polish commander, voivode, and magnate Stanisław Żółkiewski, put forward a rival candidate: Sigismund's son, Władysław.

He lived in the nearby Chateau de Pignerolle from 2nd December 1939 until moving on the 10th June 1940 to London, where he joined Władysław Sikorski and Stanisław Mikołajczyk in the relocated Polish government in exile.

Between September 1939 and July 1941, the Soviets arrested and deported nineteen Polish faculty and ex-faculty of the University of Stefan Batory, of who nine perished: Professors Stanisław Cywinski, Władysław Marian Jakowicki, Jan Kempisty, Józef Marcinkiewicz, Tadeusz Kolaczyński, Piotr Oficjalski, Włodzimierz Godłowski, Konstanty Pietkiewicz, and Konstanty Sokol-Sokolowski, the last five victims of the Katyn massacre.

The group of writers following this idea was less organised and the writers themselves covered a large variety of topics in their writings: from sense of mission of a Pole in Stefan Żeromski's prose, through social inequality described by Władysław Reymont and Gabriela Zapolska to criticism of Polish society and Polish history by Stanisław Wyspiański.

Piotr Bączek of Gazeta Polska weekly wrote that in the mid-1980s, the so-called Communist Team of three ( Jerzy Urban, General Władysław Pożoga and Stanisław Ciosek ), suggested that among opposition activists, " search for people, who are politically available " should be initiated, as " yesterday's opponent, drawn into the power, becomes a zealous ally ".

In his pro-Habsburg and anti-Protestant stance he was allied with Chancellor Albrycht Stanisław Radziwiłł and Queen Cecilia Renata, first wife of Władysław.

Among his students were the logicians Stanisław Leśniewski, Jan Łukasiewicz and Tadeusz Czeżowski, the historian of philosophy Władysław Tatarkiewicz, the phenomenologist and aesthetician Roman Ingarden, as well as philosophers close to the Vienna Circle such as Tadeusz Kotarbiński and Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz.

Other notable members includes Kazimierz Żorawski, Władysław Ślebodziński, Stanisław Gołąb, Ewa Grabska and Czesław Olech.

Among the notable politicians taking part in Hôtel Lambert's activities were Władysław Czartoryski, Józef Bem, Henryk Dembiński, Karol Kniaziewicz, Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz, Władysław Stanisław Zamoyski, and Władysław Ostrowski.

He participated in campaigns for Grand Crown Hetman Stanisław Koniecpolski, led delegations to King Władysław IV Vasa in Warsaw and generally was well respected within the Cossack ranks.

Together with his brother, Stanisław Kazanowski ( starost of Krosno, Jaworów and Przedbor ), Adam was raised with crown prince Władysław.

Editor-in-chief, Stanisław Stroński, sought to maintain the quality of published texts, mainly thanks to cooperation with a group of excellent authors, among whom were: Adolf Nowaczyński, Kornel Makuszyński and Władysław Witwicki.

After Prime Minister General Władysław Sikorski's death on 4 July 1943, President Władysław Raczkiewicz called upon Stanisław Mikołajczyk, who had been acting as Prime Minister in General Sikorski absence, to form a Government.

Among them were Maria and Stanisław Ossowski, Władysław Tatarkiewicz, Izydora Dąmbska and many of the most prominent Polish scientists of the epoch.

Columnists included Karol Wojtyła ( to become Pope John Paul II ), Władysław Bartoszewski, Jerzy Zawieyski, Jacek Woźniakowski, Stefan Wilkanowicz, Leszek Kołakowski, Stanisław Lem, Zbigniew Herbert, Tadeusz Kudliński, Czesław Zgorzelski.

** Stanisław Zamoyski, Polish nobleman ( d. 1572 )

Sigismund, supported by Zamoyski and the former king's wife, Anna Jagiellon, was elected King of the Polish – Lithuanian Commonwealth on 19 August 1587 and recognized as such by the interrex, the Primate of Poland, Stanisław Karnkowski.

His first military service in Poland was against the Nalyvaiko Cossack uprising as lieutenant to hetman Stanisław Żółkiewski, and he subsequently assisted hetman Jan Zamoyski in his victorious Wallachian campaign.

In 1775 Andrzej Zamoyski sold Kutno to Stanisław Kostka Gadomski – governor of Łęczyca province.

The district school was under the direct oversight of Stanisław Zamoyski who recruited both talented teachers and students.

Due to the strength of the schools and the direction of Stanisław Zamoyski, Szczebrzeszyn suffered less from the politics of Russification than other settlements did after the November Uprising.

Jan Zamoyski was born on 19 March 1542 to Stanisław Zamoyski and Anna Herburt in Skokówka.

During 1790-1791 he accompanied Zamoyski's family on a trip abroad, and continued to serve as an adviser to the family, although his relations with the sons ( Aleksander August Zamoyski, Stanisław Kostka Zamoyski ) had become strained ; he would eventually align himself with the daughter of the family, Anna Zamoyska ( Anna Jadwiga Sapieżyna ).

However, the conflict was seen by Polish hetman and chancellor Jan Zamoyski as yet another struggle for power in Ukraine and the Polish forces of hetman Stanisław Żółkiewski did not enter the war.

King Stanisław August Poniatowski and the Polish Sejm commissioned him in 1776 to produce a new legal code for Poland, which became known as the Zamoyski Code.
