Jan III Sobieski
Matthew at this entry on the Shrine of the Holy Whapping has Jerzy Eleuter Szymonowicz-Siemiginowski's painting of Jan III Sobieski, the Polish king, at the siege of Vienna. The king broke the siege on this date in 1683, and on October 7-9 of that year in the Battles of Parkany, defeated the Ottoman army.
