Abstract
One of the most important Polish politicians in the 2nd half of the 17th century was undoubtedly Andrzej Olszowski h. Prus II, Vice-Chancellor of the Crown, Bishop of Chelmno and finally Archbishop of Gniezno and Primate of Poland and Lithuania. This article relates to his activity in the domestic arena of the Republic of Both Nations in the years 1669–1670. It was the time of his greatest impact on King Michal Korybut Wisniowiecki and consequently of governance in Poland. His intelligence led him to sense the mood of nobles in 1668/1669 and suggest native candidate “Piast” to the throne – Michal Korybut Wisniowiecki. That’s why he was considered a king maker. Olszowski had great impact on the new king, even arranging his marriage. Olszowski tried to use his position for implementing reforms, especially in parliament.
