Dobiesław Oleśnicki (Dobiesław of Oleśnica) was a soldier, aristocrat and politician in 15th century Poland. Born in Sienno into the Dębno family coat of arms, he was Castellan of Wojnicki (1411-1433), Lublin (1433) and Sandomierz (1435), starosta of Kraków (1438), podczaszy of Kraków (1438-1439), voivode of Sandomierz (1438-1440) participant in the battle of Grunwald and the commander of the siege of Marienburg, builder of the new castle in Rymanów, founder of churches and the father of the Sienieńskich family. He was a brother of the Primate of Poland and is described by Maurycy Dzieduszycki〔Maurycy Dzieduszycki: Zbigniew Oleśnicki, (Kraków, 1853)〕 as ''comparing to lives of the Knights in song and poem''. ==Battle of Grunwald== He is best known for his role in the Battle of Grunwald which affected Polish/Prussian relations for over a century. According to Cronica conflictus, Dobiesław of Oleśnica thrust a lance through the Grand Master's neck,〔Stephen Turnbull Tannenberg 1410: Disaster for the Teutonic Knights, Campaign Series 122, (London: Osprey,2003) p168.〕 while Jan Długosz presented Mszczuj of Skrzynno as the killer. With the death of the Grand Master the Teutonic knights/Prussian army fell into disarray and were defeated by the Polish/Lithuainian forces, thus securing Polish supremacy in central Europe. ''( Cronica conflictus Wladislai regis Poloniae cum Cruciferis anno Christi 1410'' ) is the most important and trustworthy source on the Battle of Grunwald being written within a year of the battle by an eyewitness.〔Jučas, Mečislovas (2009), The Battle of Grünwald, (Vilnius: National Museum Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania), p8.〕 Its authorship is uncertain, but several candidates have been proposed including the Polish deputy chancellor Mikołaj Trąba or Władysław II Jagiełło's secretary (Cardinal) Zbigniew Oleśnicki〔Jučas, Mečislovas (2009), The Battle of Grünwald, Vilnius: National Museum Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania, p9.〕 who was also Dobiesław's brother. Among 50 Polish units in the battle of Grunwald, Jan Długosz lists his squadron as the 38th.〔Rozdział: "Wiek szesnasty w Oleśnicko-Zborowskich losach", p. 56, 57.〕〔Samsonowicz: Polska Jana Długosza, Warszawa 1984, p.223〕 and his banner was a white cross on a red field. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dobiesław of Oleśnica」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
