metadata.value: The article attempts to create a holistic image of the famous Polish King Jan Sobieski. The
  author emphasizes that legends accompanied Jan Sobieski throughout his life and after his
  death: even if the events did not take place, they reflected the exclusivity of his personality. The
  analysis of state and military activities of Jan Sobieski organically intertwines in the context of
  his epoch, there are revealed the reasons for his mythologization and his role in history. At the
  same time, during the reign of Jan III the cultural sphere always occupied the same place as
  politics, because it was an important part of the representation of power. Competition among
  the European states within the Westphalian system in early Modern time left for the Rzeczpospolita
  little chance to become a great power. Nevertheless, due to the circumstances, having
  the necessary talents for successful political, military and cultural activities, Jan III became a
  key figure of time and place, in order to play an outstanding role in the European events of
  the second half of the Seventeenth century. He was a man who was sensitive to his time and,
  focusing on samples of Western European statehood, tried to do everything for his country
  and, of course, for the creation of his dynasty, everything that was in his power. The cult of
  Sobieski resulted not only from his immortal deeds, but developed and exists today mainly
  thanks to the fact that the ruler was a type of hero both monumental and familiar, with whom
  the masses of nobility could identify, as well as future generations of his countrymen.
