Jeszcze o organizacji husarii koronnej na kampanię 1683 roku

Abstract

The article complements an earlier publication on the organization of the hussars for the 1683 Vienna campaign. According to the findings of that article, the final size of the crown lance cavalry was determined before May 19th, so before the date on which the subsidies of Emperor Leopold I for the new levies in the Crown Army were paid. Out of the 26 banners, 24 participated in the Battle of Vienna and the Battle of Párkány, which in the third billing quarter of 1683 (1 August – 31 October) comprised 3045 horses. It was ultimately ruled out that the hussar rota of the Brańsk starost Stefan Branicki fought at Vienna and Párkány, and it was confirmed that the banner of the Pomeranian voivode Władysław Denhoff took part in these battles. In 1683, the crown hussars reached their highest number in the second half of the 17th century, and almost all their banners (excluding two) took part in the decisive battles of the Vienna and Hungarian campaigns
