Polish-Lithuanian forces! Is that joke?

[edit]

There were 10k russian troops, supporting Sax army. Poland-Lithuania did not take part in that war before Charles XII has entered it. However they had the same monarch, P-L's parliament didn't agree to join the war!

You might be right about this - that these were mostly Saxon and Russian troops. Sources would help.Volunteer Marek (talk) 04:29, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have tried to find a connection why some sources state there was either Poles or Lithuanians in this battle. It seems like most Swedish does and also German ones (at least some). I can find some sources on demand suggesting there was at least a Lithuanian help party and Poles from the Crown army there, but I'm more curious of what modern Polish historian Radoslaw Sikora says about this. Maybe it was Saxon-Russian-Polish-Lithuanian combined? Imonoz (talk) 03:51, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
