It confirmed Russian ownership of left-bank Ukraine and Kiev, and prohibited any treaty with the Ottoman Empire. This was between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Tsardom of Russia. Later on, beyond the years which I have really studied so far, he signed the Eternal Peace Treaty of 1686, sometimes referred to as Grzymultowski’s Treaty. In 1656 he was named voivod (warlord) of Poznań. He was one of the diplomats who signed a peace treaty with Sweden in 1652 … that same treaty that the Swedes violated 3 years later during the Deluge. He was elected to the sejm (parliament) in 1649. The last name though … I thinkthe rz sounds kind of like sh, or at least it does in Skrzetuski, so if I had to guess I would say it’s something like Gshymultovski. I think it’s pronounced Krishtoff, more or less. Ok, despite the, um, whoa, SEVEN consonants in a row, Krzysztof isn’t really so bad. I can’t even spell this one without looking, and I sure as heck am not going to attempt to pronounce it. Or so many zeds, if you’re in Canadaland.
