A brief take on the major characters of 'With Fire and the Sword' and 'The Deluge'

 tongue-in-cheek but whatever 'it' is, gives their attitudes to it ... just for fun


Jurko found it

Anusia thought it would add to her allure 

Jan took word to the king about it

Michał fought for its protection

Jeremi had people hanged for it

Helena worried about it. 

Janusz Radziwiłł coveted it

Bogusłáw Radziwiłł lied about it

Kmicic boasted about it

Soroka guarded it faithfully

Oleńka planned regarding it

Rzędzian stole it

Zagłoba fenced half at a good profit and drank the rest.

    2. Surely Jeremi had people impaled rather than hanged for it?

    3. that too, but he hanged the entire male population of the village that looted Rozlogi after Jurij had slaughtered his erstwhile adoptive brothers

    4. Ah, I’d forgotten that. Fair enough. Volume wins over savagery!

    5. I think Jeremi liked to compromise. His compromise involved, where possible, volume and savagery, but they were pressed for time.

    6. And it is Bogusław, without French a.
