Description: The Battle of Khotyn or Battle of Chocim (Turkish: Hotin Muharebesi; Polish : Bitwa pod Chocimiem) was a combined siege and series of battles which took place between 2 September and 9 October 1621 between a Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth army with Cossack allies, commanded by the Grand Hetman of Lithuania Jan Karol Chodkiewicz & Crown Prince Władysław Vasa, and an invading Ottoman Imperial army, led by Sultan Osman II & Grand Vizier Ohrili Hüseyin Pasha at the border fortress of Khotyn in Dniester river. Ottomans retaliate the previous Polish-Lithuanian incursion into Ottoman Moldavia, the invasion was stopped at the Battle of Cecora (Battle of Țuțora) where the entire Polish-Lithuanian Crown army under Hetman Stanislaw Żółkiewski was annihilated by Iskender Pasha & Khan Temir (Cantemir). The siege of Khotyn was stopped on 9 October, due to the lateness of the season and heavy losses - due to failed assaults on Commonwealth fortifications - and the Polish-Lithuanian uanble to prolonge the war due to Swedish invasion on the Baltics, which is reflected in the treaty where some sections favour the Ottomans while others favoured the Commonwealth. Grand Hetman of Lithuania Chodkiewicz died on 24 September 1621 shortly after concluding a treaty with the Ottomans. While Sultan Osman II was assasinated by rebel Janissaries on 1622. video taken from : The Day of the Siege: September Eleven 1683 (2012) Ogniem i Mieczem (1999) God's Soldiers - Siege of Malta (2020) Königliche Dynastien: Die Osmanen (2015) Potop (1974) Dracula Untold (2014) Egri Csillagok (1968) Der Heilige Krieg (2011)
