Domany - 22 .02.1655 AD

 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.
