Although knighthood was still mentioned in the Kosice privilege of 1374, granted by the Polish king Louis, known as the Hungarian, it was already the period of creating the nobility democracy, somehow following the Athenian model, as this privilege simultaneously imposed the obligation of military service on knights - the nobility. And so the amateur army which grew out of Casimir the Restorer's reforms in the 11th century, from which the "knightly profession" arose, 300 years later already became a social status, privileged, but also obliged to fight for the country.

In the movie Braveheart, in the last scene before William Wallace ( played by Mel Gibson) is cut down by the executioner's axe, he shouts one last word before dying and dies with it: "freedom".

One can still understand that a grown man dies for freedom. But how to understand when a nine-year-old child wants to die for freedom! And not only die with this freedom in mind, but he wants to take a rifle bigger than himself in his hand and fight his enemies for the freedom of his homeland! Like a soldier! Is it possible?

According to archaeological research, there was a specific culture, called by archaeologists the Lengyel culture, 7 thousand years ago, or roughly 5 thousand years before our era. The name of this culture comes from the village of Lengyel located in Hungary, a small Hungarian village, but... the name of this village translated into Polish means Pole or Polish.

After the death of the Polish king of the Jagiellonian dynasty, Zygmunt II August, there came a period of so-called "elected kings", preceded by the adoption of the so-called Warsaw Confederation in 1573 on the initiative of Polish heretics, which guaranteed religious tolerance in Poland and thus opened the possibility of electing non-Catholic candidates to the Polish throne.
