Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to establish a register of envoys elected by sejmiki in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to the lower chamber of parliament, participating in the Sejm (Warszawa, 3 May to 10 June 1570). This Sejm was the first joint Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth parliament after the union of Lublin (1569). The register is based on a list of envoys written down for the purpose of paying out a flat-rate fee for participation in parliamentary works (the so-called strawne).
