1. RokoszA rokosz originally was a gathering of all the Polish szlachta, not merely of deputies, for a sejm. The term was introduced to the Polish language from Hungary, where analogous gatherings took place at a field called Rákos. With time, "rokosz" came to signify an armed rebellion by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's szlachta against the king, in the name of defending threatened liberties. The nobles who gathered for a rokosz formed a "confederation" (konfederacja).
