Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SKRZYNECKI , JAI'IZYGMUNT (1787-186o), Polish general, was born in
Galicia
  in 1787. After completing his education at the university of
Lemberg
 , he entered the Polish Legion formed in the grand duchy of Warsaw, as a common soldier and won his lieutenancy at the battle of Raszyn in ',Soo. At the battle of
Leipzig
  he greatly distinguished himself and at Arcis-sur-Aube, in 1814, saved
Napoleon
  from the sudden onslaught of the enemy by sheltering him in the midst of his battalion. On the formation of the kingdom of Poland in 18,15 Skrzynecki was put in command of five infantry regiments of the line, and on joining the insurrection of r83o was entrusted with the organization of the Polish army. After the battle of Grochow, he superseded Prince Radziwill as
commander
  in
chief
 ; but avoided all decisive operations as he hoped for the pacific intervention of the Powers in favour of Poland. In the beginning of March 1831 he even entered into correspondence with the Russian Field-marshal
Diebitsch
 , who was taken very ill both at Paris and London. When at last Skrzynecki did take the offensive his opportunity was gone, and he committed more than one tactical blunder. At Ostrolenka (26th of May 1831) he showed his usual valour and considerable ability, but after a bloody contest
Diebitsch
  prevailed and Skrzynecki fell back upon Warsaw, where he demanded a reconstruction of the government and his own appointment as dictator. To this the diet would not consent, though it gave Skrzynecki a vote of confidence. But public
opinion
  was now running strongly against him and he was forced on the loth of August, in his camp at Bolimow, to place his resignation in the hands of his successor, Dembinski. Skrzynecki thereupon joined a guerilla corps and on the 22nd of September took
refuge
  in Austrian territory. Subsequently he resided at Prague, but migrated to Brussels where he was made
commander
  in
chief
  of the Belgian army, an appointment he was forced to resign by the combined and emphatic protest of Russia, Austria and Prussia, in 1839. With the permission of the Austrian government he finally settled at Cracow, where be died in 186o. Skrzynecki 'vas remarkable for l personal dourageand made an excellent general of divisidi, h, he was unequal to the heavier responsibility of supreme command, andSee S. J. N.
