Jan Sobieski, the Polish monarch who came to the rescue of Vienna in 1683 and who was key in defeating the Ottoman Turks, is a revered figure in the Western European psyche.

The reply from Ottoman bureaucrats would be that the Polish ambassador “was on his way but is late because of adverse road conditions.
