Jan Zamoyski at AllExperts (885 words)
In opposition to the king, Zamoyski advocated religious tolerance, opposed the growing power of the Roman Catholic Church and Jesuits, and warned against forcing the Commonwealth into useless dynasty wars with Sweden, especially with the constant danger from the Ottoman Empire.
Zamoyski failed to dethrone Sigismund but won for himself a free hand in the Moldavian campaign where in 1595 he helped hospodar Ieremia MovilƄĀƒ (Jeremi MohyƅĀ‚a) to gain the throne.
Jan Zamoyski is one of the characters in the famous painting by Jan Matejko: Sermon of Skarga.
