Zawisza Czarny from Garbov, coat of arms Sulima

[Sergey Popovichenko]

I present to you the news of Tartar Miniatures- November.
European Knight, XIV century
Sculpted by Oleg Pogosya
Boxart by Sergey Popovichenko.
75mm resin kit

For this knight I chose heraldry of Zawisza Czarny, the famous Polish knight.
Zawisza served in the army of Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund. When news of the campaign against the Teutonic Order Jagiello Zawisza hastened to Poland and fought in the Battle of Tannenberg (1410). Played important assignments Jagiello at the Council of Constance, and the English and French kings.
Zawisza again later joined the Holy Roman Emperor. The glory of the invincible knight gained at the tournament in Perpignan, with one blow knocked the spear out of the saddle famous knight John of Aragon. Fell while trying to liberate from the Turks Golubac Fortress on the Danube in 1428.
Grandson of Zawisza was Jan Tarnowski, founder of the city Ternopil.
In the 15th tribe descended from Zawisza Henryk Dobrzański, the hero of the Polish resistance to the German Wehrmacht.

Sergey,
You paint everything excellent but I favor your medieval figs as the best! I believe you had a previous life in medieval times as your figures look so realistic!! Excellent choice on the person also.
