Jan Nepomucen Żyliński (1790-1838)
Piotr Wysocki (10 September 1797 in Warka – 6 January 1875 there), was a Polish captain and leader of the Polish conspiracy against Russian Tsar Nicolas I. He was a nobleman (szlachcic) who bore the Odrowąż coat of arms. On 29 November 1830, he raised military insurgents, starting the November Uprising against Russia.[1] In 1831, he was sentenced to death by Russians, but his sentence was commuted to a 20 years exile in Siberia.[2]
On 3 March 1831, he was awarded the Gold Cross of the Virtuti Militari.[3]
