About the only time the Hetman seemed excited was when one of his own pet ideas was born.

The Hetman had a strong liking for a story, any story which was to be had by means of much sleuthing or by roundabout methods.

The Battle of Berestechko (; ) was fought between the Ukrainian Cossacks, led by Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky, aided by their Crimean Tatar allies, and a Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth army under King John II Casimir.

The highest post – the Hetman – was elected by the representatives from the country's districts.

" Hetman " was the highest military office, and head of state, in Ukraine's Cossack Hetmanate.

Hetman was also the title of the second-highest military commander ( after the monarch ) in 15th-to 18th-century Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which together, from 1569 to 1795, comprised the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, or Rzeczpospolita.

The first Polish title of Grand Crown Hetman was created in 1505.

The title of Hetman was given to the leader of the Polish Army and until 1581 the Hetman position existed only during specific campaigns and wars.

This system worked well when a Hetman had great ability and the monarch was weak, but sometimes produced disastrous results in the opposite case, as illustrated by the actions of Mikołaj Potocki in 1648.

The Hetman office was abolished after the third partition of Poland in 1795.
