Senatorowie z Prus Królewskich i Warmii na sejmach w czasie panowania Władysława IV Wazy - rekonesans
Senators from Royal Prussia and Warmia at Sejms during the Reign of Władysław IV Vasa: A Preliminary Survey

Summary/Abstract: The present paper endeavours to examine the political engagement of senators from Royal Prussia and Warmia at the sejms held during the reign of Władysław IV Vasa. It provides information on the senatorial representation -both secular and ecclesiastical-from these regions at the sejms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Drawing on archival records, the analysis scrutinizes their participation in parliamentary deliberations, including involvement in senatorial voting and committee work. The findings indicate that these senators were not particularly active when compared to other Crown dignitaries participating in the sejms. Nevertheless, they would speak out on matters pertinent to the provinces they represented and played a supporting role within the parliamentary structure of Władysław IV Vasa's reign.
