Stanislaw Lanckoronski

Stanislaw Lanckoronski was a Field Crown Hetman. He was most likely born in 1597 and he died in 1657. His life is mostly mysterious though we know a few pieces that help to put together his biography.

It is clear that he was a fighter during his youth – there have been tellings of him taking a Swedish ship in a battle and later served under Hetman Koniecpolski against the Tartars and Swedes on many fronts. During the Deluge, he first betrayed king Jan Kazimierz but then soon after returned to the Polish side to fight alongside Pawel Sapiecha.
