Chorągiew (; literally: "banner") was the basic administrative unit of the Polish cavalry from the 14th century. An alternative name until the 17th century was ''Rota''. Between the 14th and 17th century the ''Chorągiew'' was composed of smaller sub-units – the so-called ''Poczet''. Types of ''Chorągiew'' were: * Chorągiew ziemska (District banner), formed by knights of a district. * Chorągiew rodowa (Clan banner), formed by clans. * Chorągiew nadworna (Court banner), formed by troops of the King. In the cavalry, since the second half of the 15th century until the first half of the 18th century, a ''Chorągiew'' was formed according to the "companion system" (system zaciągu towarzyskiego). See: ''Towarzysz'' (companion). Types of ''Chorągiew'' were: * Chorągiew husarska (Hussar banner), formed by Hussars. * Chorągiew lekka ("Light" banner), formed by light-cavalry. * Chorągiew pancerna ("Armoured" banner), formed by Pancerni. * Chorągiew tatarska (Tatar banner), formed by Tatars. * Chorągiew wołoska (Vlach banner), light cavalry, not only formed by Vlachs. * Chorągiew kozacka (Cossack banner), light cavalry, not only formed by Cossacks. Typical family/village clans of the Chorągiew Rodowa who provided men for battles consisting of approximately 100 men were: * Topór, Dołęga and Gryf ==Gallery== File:Chorągiew grodzieńska.JPG|District Banner of the Land of Grodno (1613–1619) File:Choragiew-husarska.png|A Hussar banner during the Battle of Kircholm in 1605 File:Husaria pod Kluszynem.jpg|A Hussar banner during the Battle of Kluszyn in 1610 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chorągiew (military unit)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
