Abstract

As a result of Augustus II’s sudden death, the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth went through the country’s penultimate interregnum period, which instigated the fight for the Polish throne. What served as this competition’s primary arena were the Mazovian pre‑convocation dietines in the year 1733. Animosity and competition occurred therein between the national camp supporting the candidacy of Stanisław Leszczyński and the backers of Saxon succession. During the said crisis prompted by the interregnum period, the demands of state reform also appeared in dietines, for instance, regarding the enlargement of armed forces. Eventually, 5 of the dietines supported Leszczyński (“the Piast”), 3 did not expressed their stance, and in case of 2 of them it is hard to estimate what was their decision regarding the exclusion of the foreigner. All in all, the nobility supported the andidacy of the Pole during the provincial dietine of Mazovia.
