Abstract

This article attempts to reconstruct a report on the military resources (komput) of the Royal Army that was adopted by the Sejm and presented to Bogusław Leszczyński, the Treasurer of the Crown, in 1651. The original document has not been preserved, and the reconstruction is based on five copies which reveal inconsistencies in the composition and size of the Royal Army, and military outposts. References to specific copies are footnoted. The differences between the military resources listed in each copy of the reported and the actual resources identified based on treasury and military accounts are presented in a separate table.

Keywords:

Royal Army, report on military resources, Polish-Cossack War of 1651, 17th century sources
