Krzysztof Kosinski
Krzysztof Kosiński (? - 1593) was a Polish noble from the Podlachia region. He was a colonel of the Registered Cossacks and a self-nominated Hetman of Ukraine. He was a leader of two consecutive rebellions against local Ruthenian nobility, known as the Kosiński Uprising.
His forces were first defeated by Duke Konstanty Ostrogski in the Battle of Piątek on February 2, 1593. Kosiński promised to subdue his forces to the Monarchy, however he soon escaped to Zaporizhia, where he started to organise a new army. In 1593 he moved out towards Cherkassy, but was killed soon afterwards.
