There was talk of Jan Sobieski and the Battle of Vienna. Did you know that a significant portion of his army (including at that Battle) was made up of Muslim Tatars? In fact, one of them saved his life in a subsequent battle. The tradition of a Muslim battalion in the Polish army continued until the beginning of WW2.
Extremely interesting. Were the Lipka Tatars at the Battle of Grunwald, too?
