Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2018, Vol 24, Issue 2
Abstract
The author discusses Polish-Prussian alliance and conflicts caused by the war with Sweden over Estonia and Livonia. The subject of the article is the first period of the war (1600-1602). The Polish-Lithuanian forces acted without a proper financial preparation that forced the King to seek help in the Duchy of Prussia. Financial arrears also prompted the commanders of individual Polish troops to request or extort supply in Prussia. The author analyses the following areas of Polish-Prussian military contacts: official financial and military aid provided at the request of the King and dignitaries of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and unofficial extortion of supplies by Polish soldiers. The article also shows the mechanisms of gradual increase in Polish requirements and ways of meeting them by Prussia.
