Stach Konwa
Stach Konwa is a legendary Polish hero, especially important to the inhabitants of the Polish Kurpie region. According to legend, he was born in Nowogród and died about 1734-1735. Stach Konwa probably existed, but there are no historical sources to back this up. The name “Konwa” is not a name usually found in the Kurpie region, and it may be that it could be a pseudonym used to protect his family and friends from reprisal. On the other hand, researchers, such as Wiesław Majewski, suggest that he was created by writers attempting to stimulate public consciousness. Stach Konwa was the epitome of the myth of free and courageous Kurpie leaders, derived from the people, who fought against invaders and serfdom.
