In the article I point to the need for conducting research into the political careers of activists from the lesser nobility, whose families were not part of the power elite. In contemporary historiography, lesser nobility activists have only attracted the attention of historians to a limited extent. Yet the development of research and the availability of sources have made it possible to carry out a broader analysis, encompassing activists from the lesser nobility who stood out by virtue of the level of their involvement in the country’s political life.

Jan Pisarzowski (1599–1679) was a writer and land judge of Zator, who did not belong to the elite of power of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. However, in the collection of his correspondence, among letters written by middle nobles, there are notes sent by representatives of the House of Vasa – Ladislaus IV, Carol Ferdinand and John II Casimir. Their themes centered around requests for support at proceedings before the Crown Tribunal, undertaking efforts for endorsement of royal propositions by the local nobility, or accepting the role of royal envoy to the Zator sejmiks. It appears that the Pisarzowski letters, which are currently held at the Jagiellonian Library, present the political status of a representative of the middle nobility in a new light: of someone who did not belong to the state elite, but aspired to this role.
