Course of events
Janusz Radziwiłł died during the war, soon after the Kėdainiai agreements. His political choices remained among the most contested episodes of the invasion.1
A closer look
Radziwiłł died at Tykocin while Lithuanian troops loyal to John Casimir besieged him. Sources differ on the day: the Polish Army Museum gives 30 December, while Ludwik Kubala gives 31 December. The page therefore shows only December 1655.12
