Wojski

The Wojski was an officer in medieval Poland, responsible for the security of voivodeships or districts at times when voivods and castellans had accompanied the szlachta (nobility) to war.

With time, the wojski's responsibilities were taken over by starostas, and "wojski" became an honorary district office in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
