Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the composition and structure of titles of Polish-Lithuanian and Russian sovereigns in diplomatic documents listed in the Metric of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL) of 1585 – 1600th. Titles functioning is analysed in the context of foreign policy communication of the end of the 16th century being shaped by complex and contradictory relations between the Grand Duchy of Lithuania that became part of Rzecz Pospolita in 1569 and the Moscow State.
