Confederation of Tyszowce
The Confederation of Tyszowce ( Polish Konfederacja tyszowiecka ) was a politico-military alliance that was constituted by the Polish Grand Hetman Stanisław "Rewera" Potocki and Field Hetman Stanisław Lanckoroński on December 29, 1655 in Tyszowce , east of Zamość , and was proclaimed on December 31. The alliance was an alliance of various Polish-Lithuanian nobles and, in addition to the successful defense of Jasna Góras (November 18 - December 27, 1655), represented a turning point for Sweden against Poland-Lithuania in the Second Northern War . This alliance included the aforementioned Hetmanen also other important members of the Polish nobility, such as Stefan Czarniecki . The alliance of the Szlachta regarded John II Casimir , who had returned to Lemberg from his exile in Silesia on December 18, 1655 with the Polish imperial regalia , as their true king and from then fought Karl X. Gustav of Sweden and his claim to the Polish - Lithuanian throne.
On January 22nd, 1656, the Tyszowce Confederation in Łańcut was transformed into a General Confederation .
