 Second addendum. Addendum to the point number 14.


After the dynasty of Jaglias, the Polish people began to elect their kings. Among the elected kings, the most famous were Sigismond II Wasa, his son, Vitold, who after the death of his father was himself elected by the Polish people as a king. Jan Kaziemierz, Micha,l Korybut Wi'sniowiecki, Jan Sobieski, as well as the last king of Poland, Stanis'law August Poniatowski, during whose reign Poland was partitioned.
Sigismond II Waza ruled during the second-half of the XVI- and the first-half of the XVII-century. During this time, in Russia a time without any kings occurred. After the death of the czar Joan Gro'zny [[the terrible]] of Moscow, Russia was ruled by the Regent, Borys Godunow, on the behalf of adolescent son of Joan Gro'zny, Dymitr. However, Borys Godunow deposed him [[Dymitr (the English spelling is Dmitry.)]] secretively and gave the secret order to have him assassinated. Whether this order had been fulfilled, or whether the Russian clergy sheltered Dymitr, and buried some other adolescent, in place of the brother of Joan Gro'zny who died in an unfortunate accident, -- history never was able to establish precisely. Some historians are of the opinion that Dymitri was not murdered and thus that the so-called pretender-Dymitri was the actual Dymitri, brother of Joan Gro'ny. Other [[historians]] however maintain that Dymitri was murdered, and that the pretender-Dymitri was not the true Dymitri, and that the pretender-Dymitri was self-proclaimed.  In any case, circa 1605 the pretender-Dymitri, if he really was a pretender-Dymitri, rather than the true Dymitri, the brother of Joan Gro'zny, arrived in Poland, asking for help to regain the throne of Moscow. For this help, he turned to the influential in Kresa Polish earl Mniszek. With the blessing of the Polish king Sigismond III
