Tadeusz Reytan

Tadeusz Reytan was a Polish noble and political figure known for his dramatic protest against the partitions of Poland in the late 18th century. He famously lay down on the threshold of the Polish Sejm, imploring his fellow delegates not to vote for the dismemberment of their country. Reytan's act of defiance has made him a symbol of Polish nationalism and resistance against foreign domination.
