From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Circassians in Poland (Polish: Czerkiesi w Polsce; Kabardian: Лэхьыем ис Адыгэхэр) were a group of Circassians made up of soldiers and their descendants living in Poland in the 15th century.[1][2][3]

History[edit]

Five of the Kabardian princes fled from their country in the Caucasus with their families and followers of Circassian fighters, numbering (300 warriors) to Poland. The Polish king welcomed them warmly with gifts. The Tsar, disgruntled by Poland receiving these warriors, sent amessenger "Alexei Klobukov" To Poland to summon the princes. The princes refused. "Marcin" confirms that the two princes Solgien and Temruk, have become leaders of the Circassian faction in the Polish army.Over time, the five Circassian princes became more powerful and wealthy. All of them settled in the Kamianets-Podilskyi region of Ukraine. After the death of the five princes and after Poland lost its independence in 1795, the number of Circassian warriors dwindled.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
