Hang in there Poland! Help is at hand! Our final in a trilogy which brings our story up to the end of the 17th century begins with a melancholy examination of the impact and devastation caused by the Deluge, but it concludes with a less doom-laden, though still bitter-sweet note. Jan Sobieski does his best to pick up the pieces, but the cracks were already beginning to spread as the 18th century approached. Upon his death bed, Sobieski would have known that everything depended upon the next king.
Would he be capable, or idle; would he be patriotic, or self-interested; would he be Polish or foreign? In fact, Poland's story of misfortune was fated only to continue and worsen, thanks to the arrival of a German House which came from absolutely nowhere - the newly converted Saxon House of Wettin. With that, our story enters a new phase, and we're almost ready to begin, but we have some more stop offs along the way first, so I hope you'll join me for them!
