Ketling (Hassling-Ketling of Elgin) was a fictional character in Henryk Sienkiewicz's novel ''Fire in the Steppe'', the third volume of his award-winning ''The Trilogy''. A Scotsman, Ketling moved to Poland where he became a Colonel of Artillery in service of the king of Poland John Casimir. Ketling got married to Krystyna Drohojowska, a former fiancee of his friend, Michał Wołodyjowski. Ketling was killed in the Siege of Kamieniec Podolski, when he (together with Wołodyjowski) blew himself up in a gunpowder depot. The historical personality on which the character was loosely based was certain Major Heyking, a mercenary from Courland and the commander of the Kamieniec Fortress during the said war. In 1969 Jerzy Hoffman's film Ketling is portrayed by Jan Nowicki. == References == * 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「Hassling-Ketling of Elgin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
