Polish Army at Batoh list - II

 Salvete Omnes,

galloping easily from the northern Great Plains of America to the Polish-Lithuanian southern lands and the sadness of Batoh 1652 disaster - continuing with Polish Crown Army Ordre de Bataille or OdeB.



Polish  historian Jan Wimmer , among many of this works, made a compilation of the Crown units during the period ( published in Studia i Materialy do Historii Wojskowosci, volume 5):

so these are the mounted harquebusier companies  within the army of field hetman Marcin Kalinowski-

1- Stanislaw Pogórski company --    94 horse

Stanislaw Pogórski, Ogończyk coat of arms - I have not yet found detailed info on this commander


1-Franciszek Mycielski company -    98 horse 

Mycielski, Dolega coat of arms, - yet to find more info on this commander


and two Pigłowski brothers, in the sources they appear as active cavalry commanders from the beginning of the Chmielnicki rebellion,  and their separate mounted harquebusier companies :

1-Krzysztof Pigłowski company -    90 horse


1-Jarosz Pigłowski company --        77 horse


                                                         In total 4 companies, 359 horse and portions




all these harquebusier companies were destroyed at the Batoh Wilds massacre
