The confederation of a royal army was formed in Szczebrzeszyn on November 23rd, 1672. This time the army protested against changes, introduced into the nobility in a military camp close to the Gołąb (the general confederation was formed here as well). The Szczebrzeszyn union was directed by the group of people, and under the leadership of the Grand Hetman of the Crown Jan Sobieski. Other leaders of the union were: three senators associated with the army, four royal officials, two military officials, as well as nearly thirty officers. These people took up politic and military actions, against confederates from Gołąb. As a result, leaders of the royal army union brought to the cancelling the Gołąb confederation and to the abolition of the state of emergency in Rzeczpospolita (Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth). Army confederates finished their movement on March 11th, 1673, during the peaceful sejm (parliament), when they were reconciled with the King Michal Korybut Wiśniowiecki. But due to all these actions, leaders of the Szczebrzeszyn confederation increased the role and position of the army itself in the state. All prerogatives of the Grand Hetman of the Crown were sustained as well.
