Polish-Muscovite War (1605-1618) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Polish historiography, the wars are usually referred to as the Dymitriady, and may or may not include the 1617-1618 campaign, which is sometimes referred to as Chodkiewicz [Muscovite] campaign. Polish Lisowczycy mercenaries, who were essential in the defense of Smoleńsk in 1612, when most of regulars (wojsko kwarciane) mutinied and joined the konfederacja rohatynska, were content to guard the Polish-Muscovite border against Muscovite incursions for the next three years. The combined Muscovite and Swedish forces were defeated in on July 4 1610 at the battle of Klushino (Kłuszyn), where 5,000 Polish elite cavalry, the hussars under hetman Stanisław Żółkiewski, defeated the numerically superior Russian army of about 35,000-40,000 soldiers. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dimitriads   (6474 words)

Battle of Klushino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Russian army under Prince Dmitry Shuisky was heading towards the besieged fortress of Smolensk, but was intercepted by Polish forces. Mainly this was because the battlefield was crossed by a high fence which allowed the Polish hussars to charge only through a narrow gap. When rumours began to spread that the Russian's foreign mercenaries were deserting to the Poles, Russian morale cracked and the native Russian element of the army began to flee. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Battle_of_Kluszyn   (484 words)

Axis History Forum :: View topic - Polish atrocities against Germans Their ethnic Polish ancestors were not interested in propagating Polish nationalism, but rather with earning a decent living, which was more possible in the factories and coal-mines of the Ruhr than in the drab fields of Western Poland. The outbreak of the war on 1.9.39 between Germany and Poland was to seal the fate for a lot of Germans. The use of the name "hetman" for a Polish nationalist is paradoxical, since it is a Ukrainian term (of German origin) rather than a Polish one, denoting the leader of a band of cossacks. forum.axishistory.com /viewtopic.php?t=1960   (4105 words)

The Eastern Wing of the Balance of Power System Already during the truce between 1618 and 1620, he had established close relations with the Hohenzollerns of Brandenburg, who since the extinction of the Ansbach line in 1618 were in possession of the Polish fief of East Prussia. Polish support given to another pseudo-Demetrius, an obvious impostor who pretended to be Ivan’s son, was again entirely unofficial and only created trouble for King Sigismund III when in 1609 he finally decided to interfere with the chaotic situation in Russia. The so-called “defenestration” of May 23, 1618, i.e., the throwing out of two leading Catholic court officials from a window of the royal castle in Prague, was the signal for the outbreak of a revolution in defense of Bohemia’s state rights against forceful centralization and of religious freedom for the Protestants. victorian.fortunecity.com /wooton/34/halecki/12.htm   (6076 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Russia The Polish question and the Russian national sentiment, which was excited to a high degree against the French, brought about the great war between Russia and France, a war that led to the ruin of the Napoleonic empire. Under Basil Ivanovitch (1505-33), Muscovite Russia grew by the annexation of the Republic of Pskof, the Principalities of Ryazan and Novgorod-Seversk, and the Territory of Smolensk. The war was prolonged for many years, until a truce was brought about by the mediation of Pope Alexander VI and the King of Hungary in 1503. www.newadvent.org /cathen/13231c.htm   (19233 words)

Vasily Shuysky --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust! In 1609, during the unstable reign (1606–10) of the Russian tsar Vasily Shuysky, the Polish king Sigismund III declared war on Muscovy. When Moscow was threatened by a Polish advance, as well as by a renewed offensive of the second False Dmitry, the Muscovites rioted, and an assembly, consisting of both aristocratic and common elements, deposed Vasily (July 1610), who was forced to take monastic vows. In 1605, however, after Boris Godunov, Fyodor's chief adviser and his brother-in-law, had become tsar and a pretender claiming to be Prince Dmitry had appeared, Shuysky reversed himself and, declaring that Dmitry had escaped death in 1591, supported the pretender's claim to the throne. www.britannica.com /ebc/article-9074883   (886 words)

A declaration of war is a formal declaration issued by a national government indicating that a state of war exists between that nation, and one or more others.

Polish Renaissance Warfare - Summary of Conflicts - Part Three However returning Polish forces were still able to regain much of what had been lost and the conflict dissipated with both participants' attention being turned to the turmoil in Muscovy. The view of the Muscovites turned against the foreign intruders and in March 1611 they attacked the garrison and burned three quarters of the city, forcing the Poles to take refuge in the Kremlin where they endured a nineteen month siege. Significant advantage could not be taken by the unpaid Polish forces and when rebellion against Zygmunt appeared in Poland Charles was able to return to Livonia and regain many strongholds. www.jasinski.co.uk /wojna/conflicts/conf03.htm   (1307 words)

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Patriarch Filaret (Feodor Romanov) From 1610-1618 he was a prisoner in the hands of the Polish king, Sigismund III, whom he refused to acknowledge as tsar of Muscovy on being sent on an embassy to the Polish camp in 1610. His death in October 1633 put an end to the Russo-Polish War (1632-33), withdrawing the strongest prop from a tsar feeble enough even when supported by all the weight of his authority. During the reign of his first cousin Feodor I (1584-1598), young Feodor Romanov distinguished himself both as a soldier and a diplomatist, fighting against the Swedes in 1590, and conducting negotiations with the ambassadors of the emperor Rudolph II in 1593-1594. www.reference.com /browse/wiki/Patriarch_Filaret_of_Moscow_and_All_Rus'   (477 words)

SIGISMUND III OF POLAND FACTS AND INFORMATION When Maximilian attempted to resolve the dispute by bringing a military force and starting the war of Polish succession, he was defeated at the battle of Byczyna by the supporters of Sigismund, under the command of Polish hetman Jan Zamojski. Nonetheless, this war increased tensions between Poland and Russia, and ruined the prospects for the Polish-Lithuanian-Muscovy Commonwealth.
