1669 Polish–Lithuanian Royal Election
May 1, 1669 – June 19, 1669 · The Commonwealth's royal elections
On 16 September 1668, King John II Casimir abdicated the Polish–Lithuanian throne. He left for France and joined the Jesuits where he became Abbot of Saint-Germain-des-Prés Abbey in Paris which resulted in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth being left without a monarch, making an election necessary.
A royal free election of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth: the assembled nobility chose the king. Vast for its era, the franchise was still nobility-only — and later elections were swayed openly by foreign money and armies.
