PINYL: A) Creating a Commonwealth Part 2 (Patreon)

[PATRONS]

In this latest episode, we see how Poland and Lithuania were drawn closer together, and examine one of the major trends of Polish history - that of concessions, made by the monarchy to the nobility, which were built upon over the centuries, until by the dawn of the 18th century, there was virtually no central administration to speak of! The journey to that state of affairs took some time though, and it was not always cloaked in naked self-interest. Our story continues, amidst foreign threats, the ever present Teutonic Knights, and the lure of the Reformation!
