Abstract:
At the end of the 16th century, following the Polish campaign and the installation of Ieremia Movilă on the throne of Moldova, we witness an attempt by Moldovan and Polish diplomacy to negotiate a change in the political and legal status of Moldova initiated by political proposals directed by Voievod and boyars to the King of Poland on August 27, 1595. The activity of hetman Jan Zamoyski in Moldavia is an object of interest for contemporary Polish historiography because the military campaign and political actions promoted by Grand Chancellor Zamoyski in Moldavia was appreciated by contemporaries as a skilled military, political and diplomatic activity in order to install the suzerainty of the Polish crown over the Principality of Moldova. Obviously, such an episode in the history of Moldovan-Polish bilateral political relations provoked the interest of Polish historians for the activity of the hetman of the Polish сrown in the Principality of Moldavia in 1595. In this communication we follow the reflection of the essence of the contemporary tendencies of the Polish historiography in analyze and interpret this episode from the activity of the hetman Jan Zamoyski.
