Summary

Mikołaj Zebrzydowski (1553–1620) emerges as a pivotal yet complex figure in Polish history, challenging traditional narratives of his role during the 1606-1609 civil war. This first comprehensive biography reveals him as a devout Catholic patron and founder of significant religious works, including the Jerusalem Calvary abbey complex near Zebrzydowice—a key pilgrimage site in Poland—and the city of Kalwaria Zebrzydowska. Contrary to historical portrayals depicting him as a collaborator or successor to Jan Zamoyski, this study highlights his contested stance during the rebellion, sparking ongoing debate in both academic and cultural discourse.
