History
The group was the personal political faction of exiled Polish Prince Jerzy Czartoryski, and was named after the Hôtel Lambert, the palatial house in Paris which Czartoryski bought in 1943, and which served as the group’s base.[2]
Aims
This group wanted to achieve Polish independence through the war between the Western powers (France and Great Britain) and the invader states (Prussia, Austria and Russia). Its political program included establishment of constitutional Kingdom of Poland with Czartoryski as its king. It later supported emancipation of peasants but with compensation for landowners.[3]
Rivals
Its main political rivals were Polish Democratic Society and Polish People's Assemblies, both of which had more left-wing and radical ideology.
