Battle of Kircholm, 1605 ⚔️ The Winged Hussars never stop! ⚔️ Poland vs. Sweden ⚔️ DOCUMENTARY

🚩 On 27 September 1605, King Charles IX of Sweden penned the following note in his diary: "Was fought the Battle of Kircholm. There many a brave hero fell due to his craven heart. I was hacked in the head but praise the Lord not hurt. I lost the battle."
With these few words the king summed up what was perhaps the worst defeat in Swedish history. It was even more costly than the far-better-known Battle of Poltava, a little over a century later. And the battle was lost even though the Swedish army was three times as strong as the victorious Polish-Lithuanian army. Enemy casualties were minimal. It was a humiliating defeat.
