  • Notes 
    • Graf von Wisnicz und Jaroslaw

      Lubomirski became famous as a commander during wars with the Ukrainian Cossacks , Sweden , Transylvania and Muscovy in the 1648-1660 period. Inter alia he crushes invading troops of George II Rákóczi and marched in Transylvania. He also forced, together with Stanislaw "Rewera" Potocki , Russian troops to surrender at the battle of Cudnów in 1660.
      He was a staunch defender of the " Golden freedoms " and the leader of the opposition to King Jan II Kazimierz , who was attempting to increase his power.
      The King accused him as traitor of the state and with an adjudication of guilt adopted by the Sejm , he lost all his offices and was sent into banishment in 1664.
      However, in 1655 he started the "Lubomirski Rokosz" and countermanded system reforms of the Republic . Using his influence Lubomirski had two sessions of the Sejm dissolved, in 1655 by deputies Piotr Telefus and W and in 1656 by deputies Kasper Miaskowski and Teodor At the head of regular army units and some noble levy ( pospolite ruszenie ) forces, he defeated the Royal army at Czestochowa in 1665 and royal troops led by the future King Jan Sobieski , at Matwy in 1666.
      The Agreement of Legonice gave him back his dignity and annulled the earlier adjudication of the Sejm, the king was forced to give up his reform plans and the introduction of " vivente rege elections " and resulted indirect in abdication of the monarch in 1668. However, Lubomirski was forced into exile to Breslau .
      Some claim Lubomirski was one of the outstanding magnates of the 17th century. He frequently served as a deputy to the Sejm, was an excellent orator, military commander and politician, and had great private ambitions.
      Others have a much lower esteem of his accomplishments; he is called prideful and ambitious, he is accused of "weird" (read: traitorous) behavior during the war against Sweden (1655-1660), he presumably contributed to the defeat of the Swedish-allied Transylvanian invaders but he let their leader and his top officials go in exchange for nothing (instead of keeping them prisoners for a ransom, or as political pawns), his "victorious" rebellion against the Polish government prevented the realization of key reforms, what in turn had grave consequences for the Commonwealth in the long term. His only real big accomplishment was the victory at Cudnow, but even that he did not accomplish alone - and he abandoned his army afterwards, seeking praise from the royal court, while the army disintegrated and soldiers went unpaid and wounded were unattended
