Jan III Sobieski (
1629-
1696) (
John Sobieski) was one of the most notable monarchs of the
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the
King of Poland and
Grand Duke of Lithuania from
1674 until his death. Although his reign lasted only twenty-two years, it was marked by a period of the Commonwealth's stabilisation, much needed after the turmoil of
the Deluge and
Chmielnicki's Uprising. Popular among his subjects, he was also a brilliant military commander, most famous for his victory over the Turks in the
1683 Battle of Vienna. For his victories over the
Ottoman Empire, he was dubbed by the Turks the "Lion of
Lehistan."
