• Title:
  Who Signed the 1573 Warsaw Confederation, and When Did They Sign It?
• Creator:
  Kalinowski, Emil
• Description:
  The Warsaw Convocation of January 1573 was a watershed moment in the history of the interregnum following the death of King Zygmunt II August. Prominent among the decisions of the Convocation Sejm, called to decide procedures for the upcoming election, was the General Confederation, henceforth known as the Warsaw Confederation, which went down in history as a monument to Old-Polish religious toleration. It is, therefore, important to determine who actually signed this document. The original text of the confederation, written down on paper in January 1573, has been lost. This article is based on the list of signatories to the confederation, which was preserved in its formal registration in the court books of the Warsaw castle court. Until recently, scholars wrongly believed that this entry was made after the election.
