Rotmistrz - W Polsce nazwa rotmistrza pojawiła się w XV wieku, gdy po raz pierwszy w polskich dziejach użyte zostało wojsko zaciężne. Rotmistrz zaciągał na podstawie listu przypowiedniego rotę konną lub pieszą, nad którą obejmował dowództwo. W XVI wieku nazwę rotmistrza piechoty zaczęła wypierać nazwa kapitan. Rotmistrz był bardzo honorowym stopniem, wielce popularnym, dowodzil jazdą konną złożoną oficerów pochodzenia szlacheckiego i dlatego przewodzenie rotą było dla wielu sprawą honoru.
