Współpracownicy i stronnicy biskupa poznańskiego oraz kanclerza koronnego Andrzeja Młodziejowskiego (od roku 1777)
Associates and Supporters of Andrzej Młodziejowski, the Bishop of Poznań and the Chancellor of the Crown (from 1777)

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the circle of associates and supporters of Andrzej Młodziejowski, the Bishop of Poznań and the Great Chancellor of the Crown, in the final period of his activity. The article deals with last years of Młodziejowski’s activity, i.e. the period between 1777–1779. Although the Crown Chancellor died in March 1780, he was not active in public affairs in the last months of his life due to his very bad health. In the circle of clergy associated with the Bishop of Poznań (in relation to political issues), the most important figure was the Bishop of Chełm and coadjutor of Poznań, Antoni Onufry Okęcki. Antoni Felicjan Aleksandrowicz, coadjutor of the abbot of Hebdów, deserves particular attention as in 1778 he was promoted to the office of Great Scribe of the Crown thanks to Młodziejowski. The circle of secular supporters of the Grand Chancellor was much wider. The analysis is made by taking into account the geographical range of Młodziejowski’s influence. Among the secular supporters of the Crown Chancellor, the following key actors deserve attention: Franciszek Ksawery Kęszycki, Józef Brzeziński, Józef Mikorski, Franciszek Leszczyński and Fryderyk Jakub Psarski.
