A novel about the event of 1352, which would have been included in school textbooks in any other country - the combined Polish-Hungarian army, reinforced by troops from France and Italy, suffered a crushing defeat near the city of Belz (now Lviv region) . Despite the fact that the Belza garrison numbered five hundred people, most of whom were militias - burghers and peasants from surrounding villages. This victory played a decisive role in ensuring that the Ukrainian people did not disappear from the face of the earth.

Even professional historians know little about the war for independence waged by the Galician-Volyn state in 1340-1384 against the whole coalitions: Hungary (which was five times larger than today), the Kingdom of Poland, the principalities of Mazovia and Silesia.

And this is not surprising, our chronicles have not survived, only some treaties. There are few sources in our enemies and in neutral states. The author, relying mainly on Italian and Hungarian sources, tried to create a reconstruction of one of the culminating events of this war - the siege of Belz.
