ABSTRACT
In the autumn of 1675, two Polish captains, Jan Rybiński and Dobrogost Jaskółecki, enlisted armored banners for the Brandenburg service (under the guard of Elector Frederick William) in Starogard, and for Jaskółecki in Pasewalk. The second of them took part in the battles with the Swedes. In June 1676, the elector dismissed both captain. The second part contains source materials on the composition, numbers and organization of both units (signature registers), the text of the capitulation and the complaint of Jaskólecki’s subordinates against General Lutke.
