Imaging Polarimetry of Six X-Ray Selected BlazarsResults of broad band V-filter linear optical polarization measurements of six X-ray selected B L Lac objects (XBLs) are presented. Four of these B L Lac objects (MS0737.9+7441, MS0950.9+4929, MS1458.8+2249 and MS 1534.2+0148) had not been measured before in this band. We have detected strong optical polarization in three B L Lac objects. Analysis of radio through X-ray spectra of these sources confirms that these objects are indeed XBLS. We have also detected several new polarized sources in the fields of these B L Lacs.
