Owing of Selves and ordinary adventures in them the.

Quarrels with the participation of the nobility in the modern era were commonplace. Both in the circles of the wealthy nobility and Gołota, the ability to beat was a highly valued advantage. When you wanted to hire someone for duty, It was well seen if a person who wants to go to service, In addition to talents such as. organizational, She was a skilled swordsman, For example, Kitowicz gives in his diaries: "[…]dexterity in performing the Lord's orders and the ability to do a good saber, where this is in the interest of the Lord, or you needed to take your own. " It was one of the features characterizing the "good servant" in those days. He was well seen and respected if a nobleman surrounded himself with a group that could have been reached by force if necessary. This skill was also useful to defend against various seizures.

The reasons for the quarrels and grabbing for the sabers were various, from the inability to reach an agreement during the sessions at the regional councils, after misunderstandings during numerous "drunkards". Regardless of what was the cause, The result of such disputes were wounds, disability or even the death of some participants: "[…]He got rid of without a coupter of the dress, saber, sometimes still for this hand, ear or piece of cut jaw, Or in all and life ". The argument of the strength was often used in the regional councils, where the differences in the views could lead to saber and fists. The loser usually escaped with an escape (If he managed to get out of this oppression at all). "But if he did not support his party with party and his pretense, and he had to run away from the regional council, so that it is not spread[…]".
The second reason from which the saber was often made at the regional councils was the desire to break the Sejm by one of the participants. To do this, Interested was obliged to sign an appropriate manifesto (statement, that the regional council is breaking up) and take him to the office. He had to do it imperceptibly or very quickly, because as the rest of the participants learned about it, She tried to prevent this (Most often by force) what Kitowicz writes about: "[…]often breaking and even a negative sentence on the sabers, they spread, unless she got to the office with selected helpers, He signed the manifesto and before him from the parliamentary circle of the drunk team spilled - manage to escape from the place of the regional council. " According to Kitowicz's account, “And if the countegrent came, they chopped or killed to death, before he took the manifesto, It was Pupilla Libertatis that she was too healthy and all, Although the sabers were cut or with an eye with a head cut. ", then if the breaking was caught up (Often with a fatal effect) Before he could legally break the Sejm (Manifesto at the office) It was all in the best order. This fragment also says something more about the approach of people in those times to such quarrels. It seemed quite natural to investigate their beliefs by force (no matter if the right ones). Even in such a serious issue as the Sejmik, it was enough to simply eliminate your adversary with a saber sharpener. At that moment his arguments stopped. And all this did not raise any objections (unless the defeated) and the regional council continued to take place as if nothing had happened.
However, often for a row with the use of weapons, such events as the Sejmies and differences of sentences with representatives of various political positions were needed. They were an integral part of the "drunkard" so loved by the then nobility. After a significant amount of alcohol, "[…]but also, having drunk, themselves with themselves for what they chose. ", By agreeing as soon as they quarreled quickly, If they still remembered what was going on. Of course, a typical swagger lifestyle also found his amateurs, who were just waiting for an opportunity for a fight, often starting it by themselves. For some it was a great entertainment that transformed in a way of life, Often on the border of banditry. Kitowicz talks about people like "[…] Night Grassanci, hut, which it was fun to cut whom, Corry to the smooth of some Galant or a German one to drive through the mud in white stockings. " Such assaults also often had robbery overtones on the edge of the robbery: "[…] Szuler and Szałapuci, who were likely to be in Kordy after panicings and coarses, because whom they beat, to i obdarli, or it paid off, If he did not feel like he did not have a heart. ". Anyone who "did not fit" to such a company could become a potential victim of "kissing the mouth", And it was often not about any important reason, It was simply enough that "[…] He did not like it or could not be enough to health for drunkenness, They broke like a forest apple, The dresses in the flakes were scratched on it and drove it away - as if for poor health unworthy of such a brave company. ". As I mentioned earlier, there were also fights among one group.
According to Kitowicz's account, an inevitable brawl was waiting for bowling if there was a Szuler among the players "[…] After losing, there was a response and from this chopper, without which it is rarely played in bowling, where the Szuler got in, she finished ". This behavior proves, that the strength of the fist and weapons serves to convince adversaries not only in such important matters as the regional councils where it was often about political influences and fortunes, But also such trivialities as winning or losing to the popular bowling at that time. People, unable to reach an agreement, the saber came, Was it about the matter of the Sejm or the bowling party, which often ended in death, mutilation or at best the wounds of one of the parties.
