Szymon Marcin Kossakowski ( _lt. Simonas Martynas Kosakovskis) (1741–1794) was a Polish-Lithuanian nobleman (szlachcic), and one of the leaders of the Targowica Confederation. In 1793, he became the last Great Hetman of Lithuania.
He participated in the Radom Confederation and the Bar Confederation. A supporter of the Russian Empire during the Kościuszko Uprising and earlier, he was deemed a traitor. In the aftermath of the Wilno Uprising he tried to escape by boat, but was captured and hanged in the town hall square of Vilnius with the inscription of "He who swings will not drown"[Norman Davies, "God's Playground: A History of Poland", Columbia University Press, 1984, ISBN 0-231-05351-7 [http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN0231053517&id=1KG0hdHgz6IC&pg=PA540&lpg=PA540&dq=bishop+Kossakowski&sig=EVmEd7DXlLz5l3MWEIfi43WVt10 Google Prin, p.540] ] and was interred in the cellars of the church in Jonava.] References
