The
Inflanty Voivodeship ()
, or
Livonian Voivodeship () also known as
Polish Livonia was an administrative division and local government in the
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, since it was formed in the 1620s out of the
Wenden Voivodeship and lasted until the
First Partition of Poland in 1772. The Inflanty Voivodeship was one of the few territories of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to be ruled jointly by Poland and Lithuania.
The Inflanty Voivodeship, sometimes referred to the
Principality of Inflanty after 1660 , was the minority remainder of the
Duchy of Livonia, which had been conquered by the
Swedish Empire during the
Polish–Swedish War of 1621–1625.
The seat of the
voivode was Dyneburg (
Daugavpils).
The name
Inflanty is derived through
Polonisation of
Livland, the
German name for
Livonia. In modern times the region is known as
Latgale in the Republic of
Latvia.
