Zygmunt Sierakowski (Belarusian: Зігмунт Ігнатавіч Серакоўскі, Lithuanian: Zigmantas Sierakauskas) (19 May 1826, Lisów – 27 June 1863, Vilnius) was a Polish[1] leader of the January Uprising in lands of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.[2] Sierakowski was married with his wife Apolonia Dalewska in Kėdainiai, present-day Lithuania in 1862.[3] According to the verdict of the Military Field Court (confirmed by the Governor General of the Vilna Governorate Mikhail Muravyov-Vilensky on June 25, 1863), he was hanged in Lukiškės Square in Vilnius and was secretly buried on Gediminas' Hill (his remains were found and researched in 2017, and honorably reburied in the Rasos Cemetery Chapel on November 22, 2019).[2][4] One of the most precious artefacts found alongside his remains was a wedding ring, which was still on his right arm, with an inscription on the inside of the ring "Zygmund Apolonija 11 Sierpnia / 30 Lipca 1862 r."[5][6]
