	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Poland
		Poland revolted from the empire, and the Polish Church began a reform in accordance with Gregory's decrees.
		The Church of Poland took part, it is true, in the Synod of Constance, at which Hus was burnt, but had not the strength to oppose effectively the reactionary tendency of the nobility, which sought to use heresy as a counterpoise to the influence of the Church.
		The head of the Catholic Church in Poland was the Archbishop of Gnesen, primate of the kingdom and legatus nalus.

	Central Europe Review - Poland and Lithuania
		Former Polish Ambassador to Lithuania, Professor Jan Widacki, was quick to rebuke the senators' behavior as "plain stupid." He added that many Poles residing in Lithuania did not share the aspirations of the autonomists and were, to the contrary, outraged by their aims from the start.
		Poland considered Lithuania, particularly the corridor running from Suwalki (in present-day north-eastern Poland) in a north-eastern line encompassing Vilnius (known to Poles as Wilno), as an intrinsic part of Poland.
		Inter-war Poland and Lithuania were nervous states, highly suspicious of their neighbours and self-conscious of their existence.

	j. Poland-Lithuania. 2001. The Encyclopedia of World History
		The history of Poland in this period was marked by a constant growth of power by the lesser nobility, so that Poland became transformed into a republic of the gentry (szlachta) (Rzeczpospolita) with an elected king as the titular head.
		The result was the Statute of Piotrkow (the Magna Carta of Poland), which gave the gentry extensive privileges at the expense of the burghers and peasants.
		The two nations were to have a common sovereign and a common diet, though Lithuania was to retain a separate administration and army.

		With a view to strengthening his position against external enemies, especially the Teutonic Order, Mindowe and his wife sought baptism in 1250 or 1251, and received from Innocent IV the royal crown, with which he was crowned by the Bishop of Kulm, in 1252 (1253) in presence of the Master of the Teutonic Order.
		In 1384, upon the death of Louis I of Hungary and Poland, the Polish nobles, having crowned his daughter Hedwig, decided that as the new queen was but fifteen years old, she must be provided with a consort capable of protecting her dominions.
		Thereafter, Lithuania shared the fate of Poland, although in 1648 one section of the Lithuanians of Little Russia — the Ukraine — separated from Poland and, in 1654, made their submission to the Tsar of Russia.

	Poland - The Three Partitions, 1764-95
		This turnabout threatened to renew the strength of the monarchy and brought displeasure in the foreign capitals that preferred an inert, pliable Poland.
		Arguing that Poland had fallen prey to the radical Jacobinism then at high tide in France, Russia and Prussia abrogated the Constitution of May 3, carried out a second partition of Poland in 1793, and placed the remainder of the country under occupation by Russian troops.
		Thus, Poland's neighbors reduced the commonwealth to a rump state and plainly signaled their designs to abolish it altogether at their convenience.

		Poland, as the culturally most advanced part of the Commonwealth, with the royal court, the capital, the largest cities, the second-oldest university in Central Europe (after Prague), and the more liberal and democractic social institutions has proven an irrestable magnet for the non-Polish nobility in the Commonwealth.
		After the Counter-Reformation, when the Roman Catholic Church regained power in Poland, the szlachta became almost exclusively Roman Catholic, despite the fact that Roman Catholicism was not a majority religion (the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches counted approximately 40% of the population each, while the remaining 20% were Jews and members of various Protestant churches).

		From 6 Jan 1573, during a vacancy, the primate of Poland ex officio (occasionally another prelate, in emergency situations) headed the state with the style Interrex.
