The Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, formally known as the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and, after 1791, as the Commonwealth of Poland, was a bi-confederal state, sometimes called a federation, of Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Lithuania ruled by a common Monarchy, monarch in real union, who was both King of Poland and List of Lithuanian monarchs, Grand Duke of Lithuania. It was one of the largest and most populous countries of 16th- to 17th-century Europe.

Piotr Łabędź
Piotr Łabędzi (died 20 August 1198) was a Catholic Bishop of Poznań and Archbishop of Gniezno. He was commonly mistaken for his predecessor, the Blessed Bogumił (as Bogumił-Piotr), but recent studies classify them as two different people. Łabędzi most likely came from the powerful Łabędzi family. Nothing is known about his life before consecration. A few years after becoming bishop, he was promoted to Archbishop of Gniezno Gniezno (; german: Gnesen; la, Gnesna) is a city in central-western Poland, about east of Poznań.

Marcin (archbishop Of Gniezno)
Martin or Martin of Gniezno (died after 1112) was a medieval prelate based in Principality of Poland. He was Archbishop of Gniezno, head of the Polish church, from ca. 1092/99 until 1112/27. The preface of the ''Gesta principum Polonorum'', the anonymous historical narrative whose author is usually referred to as Gallus Anonymus, begins with an address to Archbishop Martin. Martin, as the chief churchman of the principality, was heavily involved in Polish politics in the era. He is thought to have mediated between Zbigniew and Bolesław III Wrymouth, and between these two princes and their father Władysław I Herman, in their disputes. Archbishop Martin probably favoured Zbigniew, this alliance leading to Martin's incarceration by Bolesław when the latter marched on his residence at Spycimierz Spycimierz is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Uniejów, within Poddębice County, Łódź Voivodeship, in central Poland.

Heinrich Von Wülzburg
Heinrich von Wülzburg was a German Benedictine monk, abbot of the monastery of Wülzburg and Archbishop of Gniezno in Poland. According to the fourteenth-century life of Otto of Bamberg Heinrich arrived in Poland among the entourage of Otto of Bamberg. However, Jan Długosz, writing in 15th century and ''Gesta principum Polonorum'' do not reference him and there is some question about whether Heinrich was actually bishop. Modern scholarship has been divided on his historicity, as he is mentioned in a single 12th-century source (Ebbo Bambergensis' ''Vita Ottonis episcopi Bambergensi'') and not in any other contemporary sources, including documents related to the Gniezno archbishopric. None of the old catalogs of the archbishops of Gniezno mentions him, nor does Jan Dlugosz know about him. Among the historians who accept his historicity there is no agreement on his dates of birth, death, origin ( Wülzburg is only one of the possible renderings of his origin; others include for ...

Bossuta Stefan
Bossuta Stefan (died 7 March 1028) or Bożętą was an Archbishop of Gniezno. Very little is known of his life including his birth date. His first name derives from the old Slavic name Bozet or Borzęta, and it is presumed that he adopted a Christian second name. This would indicate he was an ethnic Slav. According to the ''Annales regni Polonorum deperditi'', the yearbook of Kraków Cathedral (Rocznik kapitulny krakowski), he succeeded Hipolit in 1027 and remained in office until his death on 7 March 1028, and the bishopric may have then remained vacant until 1076. However, according to the fifteenth-century historian Jan Długosz, Bossuta and Stefan were two separate bishops. Dlugosz records that Stefan, was the successor to Bożętą and had sent a delegation to Rome to complain about the attack and robbery in 1038 of Gniezno Cathedral, by the Bohemian duke Břetislav I who took the relics of brothers Saint Adalbert and Bishop Radim Gaudentius Radim Gaudentius ( cs, Sva ...
