description: "Bernard Pretwicz was a Silesian noble of the Pretwicz family. After entering the service of the Polish King at a young age and leading a successful military career, he became a rittmaster of the obrona potoczna, and later the starosta of Bar and Ulaniv (1520–1552) and Terebovlia (1552–1561). He was widely known in Poland and Ukraine for fiercely protecting the borders of the Kingdom of Poland from Crimean Tatar raids, which earned him the nicknames of Terror of the Tatars and Wall of Poland."
