Peter Urusov
12/11/1610 AD killed by
He is killed, while half drunk, by a Tatar princeling, Peter Urusov, whom he had flogged.
Hetman Stanisław Żółkiewski describes this event in his memoirs:
Having drunk deep at dinner...he ordered a sleigh to be harnessed, taking flasks of mead to the sleigh. Coming out into the open country, he drank with some boyars. Prince Peter Urusov, together with those several score horsemen with whom he was in league, was riding after him, apparently escorting him. And when the imposter had drunk very well with the boyars, Urusov drew from his holster a pistol which he had ready, and galloping up to the sleigh first shot him with the pistol, then cutting off his head and hand with his saber, took to the road.
