Michał Wiśniowiecki (Ukrainian: Михайло Михайлович Вишневецький; died 1616) was a Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth szlachcic, prince at Wiśniowiec, magnate, son of Michał Wiśniowiecki, grandfather of future Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth monarch, Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki. Starost of Owrucz (Ovruch, Ukraine).

He took part in the Magnate wars in Moldavia and supported False Dmitriy I and False Dmitriy II during the Muscovite Time of Troubles and the Polish–Muscovite War (1605–18). He was also involved in extinguishing Nalyvaiko Uprising.

His son Jeremi after his death was raised by his relative, Konstanty Wiśniowiecki and eventually became a powerful magnate, one of the most famous members of the Wiśniowiecki family. His daughter Anna Wiśniowiecka was a potential marriage candidate to the king Władysław IV Waza in 1636. Although Władysław was quite supportive of the marriage, it was blocked by the Sejm. Anna eventually married Zbigniew Firlej between 1636 and 1638.

  • Free Royal Election

Transcription

Eligibility was known in medieval and the early modern age, however there was nowhere such processing as there was here. That means open and public elections by the commonalty of citisens and what`s more, so numerous citisens. Elections are taking place under the sky, "Sub Deo", So providence is close to the electors. At the beginning there was sung "Veni Creator Spiritus" and after, thank the Holy Spirit for the inspiration on knees. Help of the providence could be useful in 1573, when the nobles right to election was questioned. Since Jagiello election was made by the Royal Council, "Senate". Decission belonged to the several dozens of lords. There was serious danger that magnatery will dominate elections. This was unacceptable for the paricipants of the "Execution movement", who knowed what means to share responsibility for the state. They didn`t wanted to be puppets, but the real electors. "We`re all defending Republic, we`re all decideing about our ruler." Such privillage was issued by the "Seym" in the constitution of 1538. Since then the future elections should be "free", without the internal pressure. Pressure of existing King, so there cannot be election during the monarch`s life. NO !!! NEVER !!! NO !!! Decission about the shape and place of the elections was made after Sigismund August died. Nobility maintained state during 'interregnum' and called the Elective meeting to Warsaw. The choice of Warsaw prejudged two things. During the "Seym" of Lublin Union, when there were joined Poland and Lithuania, people were looking for a place of the common diet, which would connect, not separate both. Warsaw is in Masovia, district which was recently merged with the Crown back than. It had comfortable connections. First election took part on the right side of Vistula, on the field of "Kamion" (present "Kamionek"). Since the second, elections will be on the field of "Wola" (Will), the "Great Wola". Participation was expensive and difficult, especially for the citizens from borderlines of "Rzeczpospolita". Under that communication`s conditions, it needed often two weeks to reach that field. Technical issues, preparation of the field, so called "trench", senator`s "Shop", cleaning after all of that... There was comeing lots of people. Elective Seyms were lasting about 50 days. Often the poorest were leaving first. There was whole "game", sometimes typical 'obstruction', to hold the people as long as possible, proceeding other issues, to tire these electors they, exhausted, would go back to thier places and make it easier to decide for the magnates. Election`s field was always place of the political games, sometimes bloody, unti foreign armies were participating Election remained one of the most important evidences of the civic participation in the politics If not the disaster of "partitions", we will be now proudly saying that we worked out the best way of choosing the head of state, exactly in the free and open... Elections

Michał married Regina Wisniowiecka and had two children:
