Field hetman of the Polish crown

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The field hetman of the Polish crown ( Polish Hetman polny koronny ) was the second highest general after the grand hetman of the Polish crown during the personal union of Poland-Lithuania between the 15th and 18th centuries in the Kingdom of Poland . After the establishment of the personal union, the post of field hetman and grand hetman was created in both Lithuania and Poland. These command posts were separated from each other and could not be accompanied by one and the same person.

The Polish field hetman was responsible for guarding the borders of the Kingdom of Poland in times of peace. The defense of the southeastern border against the Cossacks and Tatars was its main task. He always stayed with the army and was in command in peacetime.

During a battle, the Grand Hetman led the order of the battle. The field hetman was mostly responsible for the weak wing of the attack formation in order to be able to intervene quickly.
