This article discusses the period of Prince Charles of Saxony’s rule in Courland. It analyzes the conditions that Charles of Saxony had to fulfil in order to be chosen to be the next Duke of Courland, and with his relationship with the Courland aristocracy and Russian potentates. Great emphasis is also placed on the influence of the Courland question on Russian and Polish foreign policy, because both states had made claims to Courland and wanted to gradually take possession of the Duchy. For the Polish king August III., his son Charles represented a means through which he would be able to achieve this goal. The Russian Tsarina Elizabeth Petrovna had to give up her plans for a while when the Seven Years’ War broke out, during which Russia needed to cooperate with Poland. Although Charles’ government had been fairly successful, he did remain in power, because after the end of the Seven Years’ War Russia was able to return to its original policy. The military conflict had strengthened Russia to such an extent that it no longer had to consider the wishes or demands of its neighboring states. This article’s research was conducted on the basis of archival sources stored in facilities in Germany and Latvia.

La Moldavie, un allié potentiel de la Pologne contre les Turcs, intéressait les nonces apostoliques en Pologne. Quand l`insurrection des Cosaques en Ukraine a éclaté en 1648, la Moldavie est  devenue importante pour les nonces comme la source des informations des événements en Porte Ottomane et de la politique des Cosaques et Tatars. Les nonces observaient le prince de la Moldavie, Basile Lupul, quand il louvoyait entre les Polonais et les Cosaques, ils s`intéressaient à l`invasion des Tatars et Cosaques en 1650 et au mariage de la fi lle du prince Basile et le fi ls de Bogdan Chmilnitzki, l`hetman cosaque. Après ce mariage en 1652, la Moldavie a été perdue pour la Pologne, mais la chute du prince Basile en 1653 et la guerre de la Transylvanie et Valachie contre les Cosaques ont créé une nouvelle possibilité de la reconstruction des infl uences polonaises dans ce pays. Les relations exactes des nonces, que nous avons, sont une bonne source pour une connaissance de tous ces événements et surtout le rapport personnel du roi Jean Casimir à la Moldavie et son prince, Basile Lupul.
