Hungarians in Poland

The great Hungarian Renaissance poet Bálint Balassi spent parts of his life and wrote some of his poems in Poland.

[8] Rákóczi then lived in Jarosław and Gdańsk before leaving Poland in 1712 for France, where he unsuccessfully sought support for Hungarian national liberation efforts.

Several hundred Hungarian volunteers fought alongside Poles in the January Uprising in the Russian Partition of Poland in 1863–1864.

[10] According to the 1897 census, the largest Hungarian populations in the Russian Partition of Poland, lived in Warsaw (68), Częstochowa (29) and Nasielsk (23), with very few in other locations.

[11][12] After the restoration of independent Poland, dozens of Hungarians joined the Polish Army during the Polish–Soviet War, including lieutenant colonel Artur Buol, who co-organized artillery batteries, fought in several battles, and eventually died of wounds.
