Course of events

The Crown hetmans accepted Charles X Gustav’s authority at Wiśnicz. Their later return to John Casimir’s side marked a political reversal in the campaign.1

A closer look

The two Crown hetmans were Stanisław Rewera Potocki and Stanisław Lanckoroński. Their submission did not settle their allegiance for the rest of the war: they later joined the Tyszowce confederation against Sweden.12
