The article constitutes an analysis of the publication of Lithuanian historians from the years 1988–2009 and the hitherto unpublished Encyclopedia of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The Union of Horodlo was not the subject of separate research; it was incorporated into discursive writings on Polish-Lithuanian relations. Originally, it was presented in a traditional and ambiguous manner – underlining both the advantages and disadvantages of the union for Lithuania. The Union of Horodlo was properly presented in the academic synthesis of the history of Lithuanian up until 1795 written in 1998. However, the only fragment which expresses any reservations is the one which criticises the Polish-Lithuanian rapprochement, the result of which was the Union of Lublin in 1569, also perceived negatively. Other publications such as the syntheses of E. Gudavičius and M. Jučas generate considerable doubts due to the fact that the interpretation of facts is given priority over their presentation; moreover, the judgments presented in those books are biased. Recent years have welcomed important changes in contemporary Lithuanian historiography, an example of which is a multi-volume synthesis of the history of Lithuania (vol. 4 of 2009) and encyclopaedic entries to the previously mentioned Encyclopedia of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Th e works are based on the concept of the so called “compound monarchy” – the term of “the Crown of the Polish Kingdom” which is well known in Polish historiography. It explains contradictions on the acts of the Union of Horodlo between the act of incorporation of Lithuania into Poland and Lithuanian’s self-determination. Also new is a positive evaluation of the Union of Horodlo, which had been absent in Lithuanian historiography so far.

The present paper reveals the legal status evolution of St Nicolas' Uniate Orthodox Church in Horodlo. For this purpose the author presents origins of neouniate movement as the main reason of establishment of the building in Horodlo. The history of the Orthodox church is the perfect example of Polish-Ukrainian evolution of religious and national relations. Despite development of Ukrainian nationalistic movement at that time, the building established as mutual initiative of Neouniates and Catholics showed possibility of Polish and Ukrainian (Ruthenian) cooperation. Post-war history of Horolo reflects relations between Church and the people's government on each organisational level.

The author shows causes which led to the Union of Horodlo and attempts to prove that it provided hope for reaching a compromise in Polish-Lithuanian relations. The promising union was adversely aff ected by actions undertaken by Vytautas (Polish: Witold Kiejstutowicz), Grand Duke of Lithuania, from 1420 in connection with the Wrocław verdict formulated by Sigismund of Luxembourg and the ambitions of the Lithuanians which stemmed from the Vytautas’ “political school”. The climax of Vytautas’ liberation plans, which weakened the Union of Horodlo and jeopardised the Lithuanian patrimony of Jagiełło, fell during the years 1429–1430. After the death of Vytautas, territorial conflicts concerning Volhynia and Podole became another tinderbox in Polish-Lithuanian relations. The author examines briefly the issue of the territorial status of the lands from the 14th century. What is more, the author puts forward a thesis that it was possible to establish mutual relations on the basis of new legal regulations of Horodlo and to avoid territorial conflicts. Only when Vytautas attempted to make Lithuania a kingdom did he start a new stage in Polish-Lithuanian relations, which sooner or later had to lead to the questioning of the incorporation the conditions of Horodlo. After the short rule of Švitrigaila, who was very critical of the Union of Horodlo, Sigismund Kiejstutowicz tried to bring the situation back to normal. Discussing the Polish-Lithuanian relations after 1440, the author notices that the Polish party attempted to work out a compromise over the conflict while the Lithuanians used force to introduce modifications in the legal provisions of the union of Horodlo. Finally, the author concludes that the Union of Horodlo could have become a bridge between the two nations. Nevertheless, both the dynastic attempts of Vytautas and the controversial policy of Casimir Jagiellon at the beginning.
