Jan III Sobieski

Japanese: ヤン[3世](英語表記)Jan III Sobieski
Jan III Sobieski
1629‐96
King of Poland. Reigned 1674-96. Also known as Jan Sobieski, he is famous for being the victor in the 1683 battle against the Turks outside Vienna. As a young man, he studied in France, Germany, England, and the Netherlands. He was chosen as king after distinguishing himself in battles against the Swedes, Cossacks, rebel nobles, and Ottoman Turks. With the mediation of France, he made peace with Turkey, and attempted to carry out domestic reforms while opposing Prussia and the Habsburgs, but failed and was instead given overall command of the Western European coalition forces against Turkey.
