The Battle of Kliszów (also spelled Klissow or Klezow) took place on July 19,[a] 1702, near Kliszów in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth during the Great Northern War.[7] A numerically superior Polish–Saxon army led by Augustus II the Strong, operating from an advantageous defensive position, was defeated by a Swedish army half its size under the command of King Charles XII.[8]
