Hero, hero, warrior from the monument - this is how we know Prince Józef Poniatowski from history lessons. Rightly so, because he is one of the most outstanding Poles, but not entirely... In this episode of the podcast, we will present the naked truth about Prince Pepi, sometimes even literally, because thanks to a certain bet, the naked aristocrat was seen by the whole of Warsaw, and twice. We will answer the question of what earned him the title of one of the greatest playboys in our history and why women always took his side. However, our story will not lack great deeds, extraordinary bravado and courage, as well as a heroic death. Who was the man who captured the Polish imagination? The background of this story will be an exceptionally turbulent period in the history of Poland. We will recall the figure of King Stanisław August Poniatowski and Tadeusz Kościuszko - a republican through and through, but also the "god of war" - Napoleon Bonaparte. Łukasz Starowieyski will talk about all this in the podcast from the series "1000 years. X-ray". His guest was Professor Jarosław Czubaty from the University of Warsaw.
