Here is another interesting detail from the biographies of northern commanders. This time, my attention was drawn to Ivan Stepanovich Mazepa:
The life of the Orthodox Mazepa at the Catholic court of Jan Kazimierz was complicated. Here is how Kostomarov describes its end: “His peers and comrades, courtiers of the Catholic faith, mocked him so much that Mazepa, in a fit of anger, drew his sword against one of them, and drawing a weapon in the royal palace was considered a crime punishable by death. But King Jan Kazimierz decided that Mazepa had acted unintentionally and did not execute him, but only removed him from the court. Mazepa left for his mother’s estate in Volhynia”[9]
Such a description cannot fail to evoke the image of a well-known duelist, familiar to many by the nickname “Hand-cutter.”
