Note 86 — LETTERS TO MADAME DE GRIGNAN[11] FROM 1671 TO 1690. (continued 2)
Reading edition
John Sobieski, elected King of Poland, May 20, 1674. He married the grand-daughter of Marshal d’Arquien, who, after his death, returned to France. The victory Sobieski gained in 1685, under the walls of Vienna, and which saved the emperor and the empire, is still more celebrated than that which is here spoken of.
