Sadykierz is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Ostrów, within Ropczyce-Sędziszów County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland. It lies approximately 11km (07miles) north-west of Ostrów, 110NaN0 north-west of Ropczyce, and 340NaN0 west of the regional capital Rzeszów.[1] The village dates back to the beginning of the 13th century.[2]
In the region near Ocieka there occurred a battle against the Tatars. The Polish knights achieved a resounding victory. To commemorate this, an area close by became known as ‘Góra Tatarska’ (Tatar Hill).[3] In 1531 the Grand Crown Hetman, Jan Amor Tarnowski led a Polish army against the Moldavian Prince (‘Hospodar’) Petru Rareşin the Battle of Obertyn. Despite being outnumbered four to one, the battle ended with a Polish victory, a complete Tatar surrender and the reconquest of Pokuttya or ‘Pokuttia’ (uk|Покуття, ro|Pocuţia, pl|Pokucie). Tarnowski brought his Tatar prisoners-of-war back to Ocieka. These prisoners became the first occupants of a new settlement near Ocieka, called ‘Sadykierz’. The name ‘Sadykierz’ has distinct Tatar origins, just as do today's inhabitants of the same village.[3]
The settlement of Sadykierz is located by a post-glacial lake, home to a rare species of white water-lily.[3]
