Dominik Dziewanowski

[1] Dominik Dziewanowski was a Polish nobleman [2] who came from a Mazowsze szlachta family of the Jastrzębiec coat of arms.

[3] His father was the Castellan of Chełmno, Juliusz Dziewanowski, and his mother was Ludwika, née Pawłowska.

After the suppression of the Kościuszko Uprising, he settled on his country estate but nevertheless maintained contact with the Polish Legions and supported them financially.

He did not assume the Łomża Department post, as he went on sick leave, which he spent in Teplitz and Karlsbad.

Bold in battle, he combined with courage and a quick grasp of situation—which brought him fame as an accomplished raider—a notable ability to constructively influence subordinates.
