# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Józef Poniatowski, nephew of Poland's last king, started his career in the Holy Roman Emperor's army and reached colonel by the time he returned to Warsaw in 1789. He won the Battle of Zieleńce against Russia in 1792, resigned when his uncle sided with the pro-Russian faction, then joined the Kościuszko Uprising two years later and oversaw Warsaw's failed defence — which got him exiled until 1798. When Napoleon carved the Duchy of Warsaw from Prussian-held territory in 1807, Poniatowski became its war minister and led a smaller Polish force to victory over Austria in 1809, regaining a slice of Galicia. He marched into Russia with the Grande Armée in 1812, came back wounded, rebuilt the duchy's forces, and at Leipzig in October 1813 took injuries trying to break through and drowned in the White Elster River.
