Chodkiewicz twice defeats the Swedish generals in …
Years: 1604 - 1604
Chodkiewicz twice defeats the Swedish generals in 1604 at Biały Kamień and near Weissenstein (Paide) (often winning against superior odds, as at Weissenstein, where he has only twenty-three hundred men and defeats a six thousand-man Swedish force; Chodkiewicz will write in his memoirs that this was a decisive battle and one of his greatest victories, with Polish-Lithuanian losses at eighty-one dead, one hundred wounded and Swedish losses approaching half of their army).
For his valor, Chodkiewicz is rewarded by the king with the grand hetman buława of Lithuania.
