History / Poland's King Jan III Sobieski - the stopper of Turkish Janissaries! [64]
I took my then Italian girlfriend to that show at the Art Institute. It must have been 10 years (1999?) ago. A documentary film was also featured that showed Polish hussar history and the Vienna battle.
The "Lion of Lehistan" kicked a lot of butt in his day. Prior to the battle of Vienna, Jan was in charge of 14 previous battles. Some of his adversaries refused to fight him.
a few years back a saw tents and other stuff from the vienna skirmish at a special show at the Chicago Art Institute.. turks had some awesome gear..
