Samuel Twardowski

Samuel Twardowski (before 1600-1661), born in Lutynia, in Greater Poland, into a minor nobility without fortune, studied at the Jesuit college in Kalisz, fought the Turks at Chocim in 1621 and in 1622 and 1623 accompanied, as secretary, Prince Krzysztof Zbaraski's embassy to Turkey. He then served the Wiśniowiecki and the Leszczyński families, leased lands in Podolia, which he had to flee during the Cossack uprising of 1648, and died at Zalesie, in Greater Poland, in 1661. His contemporaries called him the Polish Virgil.
