During his less than five-year reign of the Commonwealth of Poland (1669–1673), King Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki addressed the Crown (e.g. Poland’s) nobility through proclamations almost 30 times. The majority of these documents were printed, only some of them were issued as manuscripts. The proclamations were addressed to all or almost all districts and provinces of the Crown (Polish part of the Commonwealth), their contents being usually the same or differing only in details. Many times those proclamations were issued with the same date for the whole Crown but there are also some in which dates were different. The content of proclamations cited in the paper shows that the prevalent ones were those which announced or repeated a call to arms to the levy en mass. The second largest group were proclamations summoning pre-Sejm dietines or post-Sejm i.e. reporting dietines. Less numerous were proclamations reminding the nobility about tax arrears and delays in forming troop detachments under the Sejm constitutions.
