Adolf Rozwadowski

Adolf Jordan Rozwadowski (born 1813, died 26 May 1871 in Paris) - Polish independence activist, November insurrection.

He was the son of Stanislaus and Joanna of Studzinski; My father worked as the burgrare of the Warsaw Ministry of Treasury. Rozwadowski served in infantry at the time of the November Uprising. After the fall of the uprising he undertook an official work (in the General Directorate of the Lottery) in Warsaw, and at the same time joined the conspiratorial movement under the leadership of Gerwy Gzowski. Afraid of being arrested in the early 1940s, he moved to Galicia. Here, as well as his work as an official in the District Office in Tarnopol, he connected with the underground activities, including the election of two revolutionary activists (in October 1845 in Wojsław and in December of that year in Zakrzew) the secretary of the organization in Tarnopol and Czortkowskie. Later, Rozwadowski stayed in the Grand Duchy of Poznan, staying in print. Between 1846 and 1848 he was imprisoned for conspiratorial activity, perhaps for his cooperation with Walenty Stefański.

He left prison in the Spring of the People and after a short stay as emissary in Galicia he emigrated to Paris. He worked as a sworn translator. For a while he lived with General Karol Różycki. He was involved in the activities of the Tigers. In 1863 he was to take part in the January Uprising and Wojciech Komorowski's expedition to Poryck.

He died tragically, shot by the armies of the Versailles at the time of the Paris Commune, along with Michael Szweycer. "One of the most horrible was the execution of Rozwadowski and Szwejcera," reports Władysław Mickiewicz, the death of his compatriots, accused of favoring the Communists; Their guilt was lit by light, supposedly a sign given to the Communists. The corpses shot for two days were on the street, then Edmund Różycki (son of Charles) buried them in the Bercy cemetery, and then Joseph Alojzy Reitzenheim moved to the collective grave at Père-Lachaise.

Rozwadowski was considered a "quiet, hardworking and" higher educated "man" (K. Wyczańska). The person and the Szweycer were commemorated by Teofil Lenartowicz in a poem Two Trojans (Szweycera mistakenly called Ludwik).

Since 1836 he was married to Eudoxi from Sobolewski, with whom he had two children. After leaving Rozwadzki, the wife remained for some time in the country; in 1848 she was imprisoned for the help of political prisoners and the distribution of leaflets; In 1854 she also moved to France.
