Aleksander Józef Lisowski

Aleksander Józef Lisowski (c. 1580–1616) was a Polish noble whose family had settled in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. He first soldiered in the Moldavian wars, later joined the rokosz against King Sigismund III, and during Muscovy's Time of Troubles took service with False Dmitry II.

In 1608 he defeated a Russian force near Zaraysk. His bands raided as far as Kostroma before taking Pskov in 1610, and in 1615 he outmarched Prince Pozharsky and burned Torzhok. After his sudden death at Starodub in October 1616, his freebooters called themselves the Lisowczycy, or Lisowski's men.
