Salvete Omnes,
it was yesterday, but in 1655AD, with lots of snow and wind when during the Ruso-Polish war of 1654-67 AD the Grand Duchy cavalry division commanded by
Aleksander Hilary Połubiński, Jastrzebiec coat of arms, engaged the Russo-Cossack division under
knyaz/kniaz or duke Yury Ivanovich Romodanovsky, and the winged hussar company (according to their roll a 100 companions and retainers officially) under Jakub Teodor Kuncewicz (Labedz coat of arms)
of this Lithuanian division attacked with lances and broke, in frontal charge, 3 companies (rota) out of circa 900 strong Muscovite pike-musketeer infantry regiment at Domany (near Mohylew or Migilev in present day Belarus), an epic feat of arms.
Polish warriors killed and wounded many Muscovites, captured the artillery, wagon train and many soldiers, while some Muscovite along with their commander prince Romodanovsky escaped to Mogilev, where there was Russian command.
