King Michael I Korybut died in the Palace of the Archbishops of Lwów, on 10 November 1673. His early demise seems to have been brought about by a severe case of food poisoning, although rumours persisted that he had been murdered by traitorous generals angered at the declining power of the Commonwealth.

The day after his death, John Sobieski won the  [[Battle of Chocim (1673)|Battle of Chocim]], which reversed some of the losses under Michael I's reign. On 19 May 1674 Hetman John Sobieski was elected the new monarch after the [[1674 Free election|Free election of 1674]].

After the funeral, the heart of the king was buried at a [[Camaldolese Church, Warsaw|Camedule Monastery]] in the [[Bielany]] district of Warsaw. The bowels were placed in a wall of the [[Latin Cathedral, Lviv|Latin Cathedral]] in Lwów, while the body was buried in [[Wawel Cathedral]] in Kraków on 31 January 1676, the same day that John Sobieski was crowned as John III.

Michael's reign was considered to be less than successful as his ability to be a capable monarch were greatly hurt by Poland's quarrelling factions. His father's military fame notwithstanding, Michael lost the first phase of the [[Polish–Ottoman War (1672–1676)|Polish–Ottoman War of 1672–1676]].<ref>[http://www.poczet.com/korybut.htm Poczet.com], Michał Korybut Wisniowiecki.</ref>
