(citation from one contemporary document: "Michael primvs, Dei gratia rex Poloniae, magnus dvx Lituaniae, Russiae, Prussiae, Masouiae, Samogitiae, Kiiouiae, Volhyniae, Podlachiae, Podoliae, Liuoniae, Smolensciae, Seueriae Czernihouiaeque etc")
Following the abdication of King John II Casimir Vasa and the end of The Deluge, the Polish nobility elected Michael to the Polish throne. Michael was the son of a successful but controversial military commander, Jeremi Michał Wiśniowiecki, known for his ruthless actions against Bohdan Chmielnicki's Uprising.
Michael Wiśniowiecki's reign was less than successful. His father's military fame notwithstanding, Michał lost a war against the Turks, who occupied Podole (see Polish–Ottoman War (1672–1676))[1] He was unable to cope with his responsibilities and with Poland's quarreling factions. After his death, John Sobieski was elected King of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and crowned as John III.
