[edit] Where? Map? German name?

Where's Lubiszewo? "Lubiszewo Tczewskie" reminds of Dirschau. after a six months' siege, beginning with a pitched battle beneath her walls in which she lost 5000 of her mercenaries. Ah, so it was near bei Lübschau (unweit Dirschau). Detailed German account there, by Boris Vasilʹyevich Köhne, Published 1845. Also called Rokitki in Polish, it seems. -- Matthead  Discuß   21:57, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

pl:Lubiszewo Tczewskie.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 21:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Seen that. And my non-existent Polish by now detects from "Jeziorem", that more than one source suggests a lake (See bei Lübschau) was site of the battlefield. -- Matthead  Discuß   22:12, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
It was a land, not a naval battle. There is a small lake near the site of the battle (pl:Jezioro Lubiszewskie). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 22:37, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

In Polish the battle is also known as Battle of the Lubiszewo Lake. I don't know why the English name is Battle of Lubieszów as pl:Lubieszów is a different place then pl:Lubiszewo Tczewskie (which is the correct village).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 02:11, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
