ENKazimierz Michał Pusłowski (d. 1696), a member of the family originating from the district of Upita, who bore the variation of Szeliga coat of arms, was the youngest of three sons of Jakub (d. 1638) and Barbara, née Syruć. In the 1650s, he chose a military career, joining the Lithuanian army. In 1660–1675, he served in the Crown Hussars, first in the royal unit of King John Casimir’s troop, then of Jerzy Sebastian Lubomirski and, from 1667 on, of Jan Sobieski. At that time (or, more precisely, between 1667 and 1670), Pusłowski was granted his only land office, that of a deputy pantler (Polish: podstoli) of Rzeczyca. In 1668–1675, he was the first in the company’s hierarchy of the hetman’s and then King Sobieski’s troops, which means that he was one of its top commanders. In 1675, he returned to the Lithuanian army as the hussar standard-bearer (Polish: chorąży) in the detachment of Lithuanian Field Hetman Michał Kazimierz Radziwiłł. From 1681 on, he was a standard-bearer of the next Field Hetman, Kazimierz Jan Sapieha, and in 1683, he became a lieutenant of the hussar unit of Jan Karol Dolski, where he served almost until his death. As a standard-bearer and lieutenant in the Lithuanian hussars, he had a high military position. As a regimentary, he commanded larger units of the Lithuanian army in 1675, 1684, and 1688. From 1686 on, he called himself a colonel. Thanks to his military service and the relationships he developed with leading figures on the political scene in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, such as Jan Sobieski, Michał Kazimierz Radziwiłł, Kazimierz Jan and Benedykt Paweł Sapiehas, and Jan Karol Dolski, he laid strong foundations for the family’s financial position. Thanks to them, his descendants could further raise their social status. [From the publication]
