Battle of the Old Sultan (1288)

-

<12> Battle of Stary Sacz (1288) - battle in winter 1288 between the Hungarian troops under the command of Governor Jerzy of Sovar and the Mongols under the command of Nogaj during the III Mongol invasion of Poland in the 13th century.

On December 24, 1287, the southern Mongol army under Nogai commanded Cracow, launching a siege and assaulting the city. In the face of the hard resistance of the townspeople and the fateful results of the battle for Kraków, Nogaj gave orders to regroup and start operations in the area of ​​Cracow and Sieradz. Cracovian prince Leszek Czarny, who was with his Gryffindor wife and little mail, slipped out of the besieged castle and went to Hungary to seek help from Hungarian king Władysław IV.

While the Tatar chambers hauled the land of Cracow, two large columns of Mongolian forces moved south. The first arrived in the Podhale region, where she battled the Dunajec River with local mountaineers. The second one turned to Stary Sącz for its purpose. The city was well prepared for defense, gathering large stocks of food and strengthening the defense of the surrounding knights and peasants. The siege of Stary Sącz prolonged and did not bring any measurable results. In the meantime, the result was Leszek Czarny's trip to Hungary, where the Prince of Cracow managed to get help from the Hungarian king. At the explicit command of King Władysław, the Hungarian governor Jerzy of Sovar gathered quite a considerable troop of Hungarian troops, and through Kezmarok and Podoliniec he started at Stary Sacz. Hungarians, probably assisted by the Polish forces, surprised the Mongolian forces completely and inflicted them with a devastating defeat.

The defeat of the Mongol forces under Star Sq was the last episode during the Mongol invasion of Poland. At the end of January 1288, after an unsuccessful expedition and without any military successes, the Nogai army retreated to Red Ruthenia. Bibliography
