Konrad Wallenrod is an 1828 narrative poem, in Polish, by Adam Mickiewicz, and set in the 14th-century Grand Duchy of Lithuania. While living in Saint Petersburg, Russia, Mickiewicz wrote it in protest against the late-18th-century partitioning of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth by the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, and Austria. Mickiewicz had been exiled to St. Petersburg for his participation in the Philomaths organization at Wilno University.
