Towarzysz husarski
Towarzysz husarski (
Polish, plural:
Towarzysze husarscy) or
Husarz (Hussar companion), was the name of a type of heavy cavalryman in
Poland.
The Polish
hussars were the leading or even elite branch of cavalry in the Polish army from the 1570s until
1776, when their duties and traditions by a parliament decree were passed on to the
Uhlans. Most hussars were recruited from the wealthier part of the Polish nobility (
szlachta).
Each towarzysz of hussars raised his own
poczet or retinue. Several retinues were combined to form a hussar banner or
Company, (
Chorągiew husarska).
