In the popular scientific literature the image of the 16th century hussars is limited to light armour warriors from the beginning of the century and Batorian hussars from the late 1570s. Recent scientific research fulfilled the gap between the second and third quarters of the 16th century. Nevertheless, studies devoted to protective arma¬ments are still not common, especially research devoted to Polish hussar armours from the mid 16th century. Research devoted to old Polish warfare techniques are to be based on written, iconographic and material sources. As far as the 40s and 50s are concerned, however, one faces exceptionally low level of materials as well as iconographic and museum records with determined chronology and origin are rare. Nevertheless, based on few and partial traces left by the Jagiellonian generation liv¬ing in the mid 16th century, the author attempted at re-establishing the model of the protective armour used by the hussar and the changes concerning the armaments of this type as regards cavalry at the turn of the first and second half of the 16th century.

В научно-популярной литературе образ гусарии XVI в. сводится к легково¬оруженным рацам начала столетия и гусарам Батория конца 70-х гг. Современ¬ные научные исследования заполнили пробел второй и третьей четвертей XVI в., но работы, посвященные защитному вооружению, прежде всего, происхож¬дению польского гусарского вооружения середины XVI в., – все еще редкость. Исследования старопольской военной техники должны базироваться на пись¬менных, иконографических и материальных источниках. По 40-м и 50-м гг. XVI в. имеется беспрецедентно мало источников, а иконографические и музейные предметы, строго датированные и известного происхождения, – большая ред¬кость. Несмотря на это, основываясь на немногочисленных следах, оставленных ягеллонским поколением, жившим в середине XVI в., автор попытался воссоз¬дать модель пластинчатого защитного вооружения гусарии, а также изменения в вооружении этого рода кавалерии на рубеже первой и второй половины XVI в.

The surveys of the royal real properties in Pomerania and Greater Poland from 1564 to 1565 include descriptions of fortresses. A three person committee evaluated the state of particular castles. Some of them were in a bad state, especially those in Człuchów and Gniew. Fortresses in Tuchola, Świeć, Grudziądz, Brodnica, and Bratian had been repaired just before the survey was completed. The fortresses, which previously had belonged to The Teutonic Order, were repaired renovated when the survey was undertaken. Castles in The Greater Poland had been built during the reign of Casimir the Great and thus required serious repairs. were necessary. Castles in Brzesko and Inowrocław areas were in a better state than the castles at the Silesian border. Moreover, the amount of firearms was greater in the southern part of Poland than in the northern one. However, as far as manpower and supplies of garrisons are concerned, they were was insufficient in the whole country. The same was in the case of supplies. In sum, by the time of the surveys most of the inspected fortifications were out of date.
