Battle of the Pogon


Knights between the years 1300-1350

Battle of Pogoń - took place in July 1345 during the Polish-Czech war on Silesia. The defeat of Polish troops supported by the Hungarian knights with the Czech forces of Jan Luxembourg, Jan Dlugosz was located in the village of Pogoń near Będzin. It is believed that the place of this clash could also be the village of Przeginia near Olkusz. Contradiction is also about the participation of the Polish king Kazimierz the Great. According to the Cracow Calendar, the Czech forces were dispatched by the Czech king during the siege of Cracow in order to destroy the land of Cracow. Thus, the battle could have been similar to that of Lelow. According to another hypothesis, the battle took place after the Czechs abandoned the walls of Cracow, and the victorious Polish-Hungarian units fighting in the fields of the Pogon with the forces withdrawn from Poland by John of Luxembourg were commanded by Kazimierz Wielki himself.
