Jan Dembowski (Dębowski) (1770, Dębowa Góra – 1823) was a Polish general (promoted in 1812) and political activist.
Military career
[edit]In 1812 he was appointed to the Army of the Kingdom of Italy, where he commanded a brigade before being transferred onto the staff of Pino's 15th (Italian) Division of Eugène de Beauharnais's IV Corps during Napoleon's invasion of Russia. He led a brigade of the 15th (Italian) Division at the Battle of Maloyaroslavets on 24 October.[1]
Napoleon's defeat and Russian rule of Poland made it impossible for him to return there. He was the father of astronomer Ercole Dembowski, who lived out his life in Italy.
