As a fellow history nerd, you may appreciate this...I have a book on the history of cavalry throughout the ages, one part has the winged hussars. The book explains that the function of the "wings" was both cosmetic and practical. At times, the enemies the winged hussars would face were light cavalry i.e. Cossacks, Turkish Akinji (raiders), etc. One of the weapons of such light cavalry was a lasso, where they would rope and pull the hussar off his horse! But the wings were meant to break away, easily and the lasso would catch them first. So the wings were both practical and ornamental! I knew that the Sassanid Empire's cavalry used the lasso as one of their weapons, but I think it goes back even farther than that. If you think about it, a people pretty much born in the saddle probably use a lasso both in their every day life and in war. It's a tool they are well familiar with and if you can pull a horseman off his horse, you've defeated him (not to mention perhaps broken some bones).
Basically, the battle of Vienna was not such a defeat for the Turks, because after some time they realized that the battle was lost and started to slowly retreat and this extraordinary charge of the Hussars already hit the retreating Turkish troops, although it is true that when the hussars moved into battle, the Austrian and German units stopped the fight to see this extraordinary charge, while on the Turkish side there were not many losses because the Turks withdrew to the Hungarian town of "Parkany" and set up camp there, the Polish hussars started chasing them, initially the situation was very unfavorable for us because our troops, contrary to the king's orders, started an unprepared charge that was not supposed to take place at all, the effect was such that the Turks launched such a violent counterattack that all the Polish soldiers started to run away, leaving the king to his fate, even the king did not care about him, apparently unknown to him named Rajtar protected King Jan III Sobieski, the King couldn't run away so quickly because the horse he was riding was already tired, and the Rajtar behind the king protected the king, fending off Turkish attacks, one version mentions that he even gave him his horse, another version doesn't mention it, we don't know even if this reiter survived this clash, but the fact is that the King survived, the next day the royal riposte was terrible, the entire Turkish army was slaughtered, and the Sultan, who looked back at the battle, cried, the Sultan cried when he saw what 2,000 Polish cavalry could do with his 15 thousand Janissaries, and although this Victory of Vienna is very famous, in terms of losses, the Turks suffered such a real defeat at Parkany

And after 89 years (The Battle of Vienna - 12 September 1683) was the First Partition of Poland took place in 1772 as the first of three partitions that eventually ended the existence of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth by 1795 by Habsburg monachy, Kingdom of Prussia and Russian Empire. In other hand, according to the 19th century tradition, with the demonstrative question "Has the envoy from Lechistan arrived yet?" official audiences were to begin with the Turkish Sultan, expecting an envoy from Poland, which no longer existed on the map of Europe at that time.
I noted your comment about this being a recorded in a studio version and thought that you might enjoy a live version of the same song ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9PFz9FQsU8w.html
The high pitched part that Maria Franz sings as the transition part of the song is an ancient herding call that Scandinavian/Nordic women would call in their herds of cattle, sheep, and other livestock from distances called Kulning.

I can track my ancestry back to the same places as Heilung but even before i knew that i could feel this band. Like an ethereal hand was reaching into my chest and pulling my heart back into a time that my mind forgot but my body and soul have been singing for a millenia. Your reactions to this band are so genuine and joyful. They are a pleasure to watch. Subscribed.
Przerażenia wojsk wroga nie da się pokazać na filmie. Kiedy zbliżała się husaria w ciasnym szyku noga w nogę z powiewającymi proporcami, piórami i skórami dzikich zwierząt, wróg czuł się jakby nadchodził koniec świata. Fenomenem była lanca husarska. Rekord napitych na taką lancę wynosi 6 Rusinów w bitwie pod Połonką. Wojska wroga na ogół nie wytrzymywały ciśnienia i uciekały zanim husaria do nich dojechała.
The horn being played is known as a "Bukkehorn" it is made from a goat horn harvested between five and seven years prior to the carving of the instrument and it is a traditional instrument of Scandinavian cultures.
Just before the last chorus, I love the way Pau is bouncing up and down on her stool before she even starts playing. She's just a little thing, but such a monster on the drums (and, obviously, vocals)!
The piura on the back were not an ornament, and during a fast ride they made a noise that scared the opponent's horse. It was like an approaching whist
This music is a mix of Old Germanic and Nordic cultures. I'm a Frisian person, we are the indigenous peoples who reside in the province of Fryslan or 'Friesland' in the Netherlands well predating the viking age. The days of the week come from old Germanic, Odin in old Frisian is known as Weda and this is actually where the day of the week Wednesday comes from 'Weda's Day' as well as the other days of the week representing different old Germanic gods. Germanic languages including English all derive from the branch of indo-frisian as well as Runes are Anglo-Frisian.
