The function of Marshal of the Sejm was transformed into an office in 1558. Marshal was responsible not only for welcoming the king and bidding farewell to him, but, above all, for supervision of works and contacts between senators and the ruler. Stanisław Sedziwój Czarnkowski – Crown referendary – was chosen Marshal during the 1569 Lublin Union Sejm. Cooperating closely with Sigismund II Augustus, he strongly opted for the union between the Crown and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. His oratory talent and political intuition assured the positive final to the parliamentary sitting that he headed. Czarnkowski’s speeches and argumentation contained in them importantly contributed to softening of the Sejm antagonisms. There are two especially important Czarnkowski’s speeches: the one in which he welcomed the king and the one of 2 June 1569, about the incorporation of new lands into the Crown. Due to his liking for the Habsburgs, S. S. Czarnkowski was considered to be a controversial person, which occasionally caused discord during the sittings. Still, at the most important moments in the Sejm he helped overcome difficulties and positively finalize the deliberations of the Sejm in Lublin. His contribution in the Act of the Union must not be forgotten.

The Pomeranian Catholic clergy rejected the official celebration of the Marshal’s feast on the 19th March because this is one of the major solemnities in the Church, namely the Commemoration of St Joseph. However, some of the priests who maintained a much more favorable attitude towards Piłsudski’s name-day celebrations followed the example of the Church hierarchy and were taking part in it. Numerous priests (especially those whose political predilections were with the National Party) decided to protest against the spread of the official ‘cult’ and the legendary portrayal of the Marshal on his name day. Some of them, trying to sidestep the embarrassing situations, transferred the liturgical Commemoration of Saint Joseph to another day. There were many Pomeranian priests who did their best to prevent the Catholic youth from taking part in the official meetings. In some parishes where the pastors were political adversaries of Piłsudski the celebrations in memorial of Joseph Wrycza and Joseph Haller had a very ostentatious form. Numerous parish priests rejected the requests to celebrate the Holy Mass for the intention of the Marshal. This may be explained by the fact that the vast majority of pastors opted for the anti-Piłsudski political opposition. Some of the clergy, like Józef Wrycza or Paweł Konitzer, were even active supporters of the National Party.

W artykule podjęta zostaje próba określenia orientacyjnej liczby uczestników sejmików, na podstawie źródeł narracyjnych oraz podpisów pod aktami sejmikowymi. Zajęto się ponadto kwestią udziału w sejmikach poszczególnych stanów, a mianowicie szlachty, senatorów, dygnitarzy oraz duchowieństwa. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na obecność urzędników kowieńskich, a w rzadszych wypadkach również z innych powiatów. Omówiono także osoby przewodzące obradom oraz mające na nie faktyczny wpływ. The article is an attempt at evaluating the approximate number of participants in sejmiki (dietines), based on narrative sources and signatures in the sejmik records. Furthermore, the question of participation of the different social classes (i.e. nobility, senators, dignitaries, clergy) in sejmiki is raised. Special attention is paid to the presence of officials from Kowno (Kaunas) district, less to those from other districts. Mentioned are also persons leading the sittings and those who had actual impact on the sessions.
