It looks like the Commonwealth army was seriously reduced after 1733-35.
Fine list!
ОтветитьУдалитьWell, the Tatar banners/companies (within the Potocki command or partia) went into the Saxon service after 1733, they were so to 'speak on loan' from Polish-Lithuanian Respublica to the Saxon Crown, organized in severla pulks. They are the original uhlans, especially since 1740s... The Korycki and Bielak 'pulks' returned home between 1763-5, with some horsemen staying within the Saxon chevaulegers.
