What is the uprising that began on 22 January 1863 and was the topic of Teodor Żychliński's works?
January Uprising The January Uprising (Polish: "powstanie styczniowe", Lithuanian: "1863 m. sukilimas", Belarusian: "Паўстанне 1863-1864 гадоў") was an uprising in the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (present-day Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Latvia, parts of Ukraine, and western Russia) against the Russian Empire. It began on 22 January 1863 and lasted until the last insurgents were captured in 1864.
Zebrzydowski rebellion Zebrzydowski's rebellion (Polish: "rokosz Zebrzydowskiego" ), or the Sandomierz rebellion (Polish: "rokosz sandomierski" ), was a "rokosz" (semi-legal rebellion) in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth against King Sigismund III Vasa. The rokosz, formed on 5 August 1606 by Mikołaj Zebrzydowski, Jan Szczęsny Herburt, Stanisław Stadnicki, Aleksander Józef Lisowski and Janusz Radziwiłł in Stężyca and Lublin, was caused by the growing dissatisfaction with the King among the nobility (the "szlachta"). In particular, the rebels disapproved of the King's efforts to limit the power of the nobles, his attempts to weaken the "Sejm" (the Polish parliament) and to introduce a hereditary monarchy in place of the elective one. The rebellion (1606–1608) ended in the defeat of the rebels. Despite the failure to overthrow the King, the rebellion firmly established the dominance of the "szlachta" over the monarch in the Polish–Lithuanian political system.
