The Battle of Koniecpol was an encounter in November 1708 during the Great Northern War.
History Near Koniecpol in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, pro-Swedish forces under Stanisław Leszczyński of the Warsaw Confederation met with anti-Swedish forces of the Sandomierz Confederation, loyal to Augustus the Strong and allied with Russia. Both armies had a strength of about 10,000 men.
The anti-Swedish Sandomierz Confederation won. Leszczyński was defeated, and thus unable to aid Charles XII of Sweden in the Russian campaign.Dorrell, Nicholas. The Dawn of the Tsarist Empire: Poltava & the Russian Campaigns of 1708—1709, Partizan Press (2009). pp 149 The Warsaw Confederation would soon collapse, and the Sandomierz Confederation would reunite the Commonwealth under the reign of Augustus.
