Stach Konwa is a legendary Polish hero, especially important to the inhabitants of the Polish Kurpie region. According to legend, he was born in Novgorod and died about 1734-1735.〔Wiesław Majewski, ''Konwa Stach'', Polski Słownik Biograficzny, vol. XIII, 1967–1968, p. 609.〕 Stach Konwa probably existed, but there are no historical sources to back this up. The name “Konwa” is not a name usually found in the Kurpie region, and it may be that it could be a pseudonym used to protect his family and friends from reprisal. On the other hand, researchers, such as Wiesław Majewski, suggest that he was created by writers attempting to stimulate public consciousness. Stach Konwa was the epitome of the myth of free and courageous Kurpie leaders, derived from the people, who fought against invaders and serfdom.〔http://www.polskaniezwykla.pl/attraction/3258.id Jednaczewo Stach Konwa〕 ==Legend== According to legend, Konwa demonstrated great courage during the Great Northern War in a battle with the Swedes on the 22nd and 23 January 1708 under the bridge near Myszyniec. During the War of Polish Succession he is reported to have fought on the side of Stanisław Leszczyński. And, during the time of the Konfederacja Dzikowska he commanded a division of Kurpie volunteers which fought against Russian and Saxon troops at the battle of Jednaczewo. He lost the battle and was captured by the Saxons, who hanged him. .〔http://www.polskaniezwykla.pl/attraction/3258.id Jednaczewo Stach Konwa〕 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「Stach Konwa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
