Reflections on the Polish-Lithuanian Union (On the margin of Robert Frost’s book, "The Oxford History of Poland- Lithuania, Volume I: The Making of the Polish-Lithuanian Union, 1385-1569", Oxford 2015)

Summary/Abstract: The author makes an attempt to take a critical look at R. Frost’s book of the history of the Polish-Lithuanian union up to 1569, but he was interested only in those fragments which chronologically do not go beyond the Middle Ages. Among the issues the author presents in polemics with R. Frost are: the nature of the Polish-Lithuanian union, an assessment of the Act of Krevo, the theory of Polish incorporationism, an understanding of the role played by the community of Polish realm, a characterisation of the policy of Vytautas Kiejstutowicz and his relations with Władysław Jagiełło, an assessment of the Vilnius-Radom union of 1401 and the Horodło union of 1413, the consequence of the political upheaval in Lithuania in 1440.
