John III Sobieski (1629 - 1696), king of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. Sobieski was one of the most notable monarchs of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. His reign was marked by conflict with Ottoman forces attempting to advance into Europe. Soon after becoming king in 1674 he recommenced the war against the Ottomans, and followed by unsuccessful attempts to conquer Prussia. Sobieski eventually found himself with few allies, leading to a pact with Leopold I of Austria that the two rulers would help each other if their countries were threatened. In 1683 Sobieski was called to defend Austria against the invading Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Vienna, in a famous victory that saw Sobieski acclaimed as 'Saviour of Europe'.
