- The article presents the legal regulations on the principles of the presence of women in the Polish-Lithuanian army in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Jan Tarnowski, at the end of the first half of the sixteenth century, introduced the first significant limi- tations on this issue. According to military law the only women that could exist in the army were the wives of soldiers and persons accompanying the troops (e.g. merchants, servants and the like). The soldiers were not satisfied with this arrangement and began to exploit loopholes for their own purposes. Firstly, marriages were concluded to make prostitution possible. Secondly, in many cases, soldiers declared a concubine or sexual slave to be their lawful wife. During the latter half of the sixteenth century and first half of the seventeenth century, lawmakers endeavoured to refine the rules. As a result (despite the difficulties involved and with the help of military law) during that period the Polish-Lithuanian army had only a small percentage of women present, especially when compared to Western armies. During periods of war there was a significant de- parture from the legal rules. Then the soldiers treated captured women as spoils of war. Some of the women became “military wives”, others were simply used as sex slaves.
