Tymofiy Bohdanovych Khmelnytsky or Tymish Khmelnytsky (, Tymofiej Chmielnicki; 1632 - September 15, 1653) was the eldest son of Cossack hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky. Married to Moldavian princess Ruxandra Lupu (Rozanda in Ukrainian), daughter of Prince Vasile Lupu, he took part in the Battle of Finta (1653) as commander of a Cossack force. After the defeat, Timofiy was besieged by a Wallachian army in Suceava and died in the confrontation. Biography He was born in 1632 in Subotov. According to sources, Tymish was short, red and had freckles on his face. In February-March 1648, as a result of negotiations between Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky and the Crimean Khan İslâm III Giray and the conclusion of an agreement on a joint struggle against the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, Tymish was left hostage in Bakhchisarai. From 1648 Timysh was a Chyhyryn centurion and together with his father took part in the campaigns of the Ukrainian army in Galicia, the Battle of Zboriv in 1649, the Battle of Berestechko in 1651, the Battle of Batih in 1652, during which he distinguished himself by courage and bravery. After the capture of the capital of the Moldavian principality by Iasi, the Ukrainian-Moldavian alliance was concluded, for the strengthening of which Tymish married the daughter of the Moldavan Prince Vasile Lupu - Ruxandra. This marriage is a very important fact, because thanks to this marriage the Khmelnytsky family was related to the most influential noble families of Eastern and Central Europe at that time - the Radziwills (Ivan Radziwill was married to Rozanda's sister), the Koniecpolski, Żółkiewski, Zbaraski and Wiśniowiecki, therefore, Bohdan Khmelnytsky in a sense became on the same social level with them. The alliance of Ukraine with the Principality of Moldavia caused concern among the Transylvanian Prince George II Rákóczi and the Wallachian lord Matei Besarab, who, uniting with the detachments of the candidate for the Moldavian throne of Chancellor (logofet) Gheorghe Ștefan, started a war against Lupul. In April 1653, a combined force of Vasily Lupul's opponents captured Iasi and installed Georgica on the Moldavian throne. The Ukrainian army, led by Khmelnytsky, came to Lupul's aid and defeated Stefan Georgica's troops near Iasi on May 1-2, 1653. Trying to strengthen his success, Khmelnytsky launched an offensive on Wallachia, but on May 17 he was defeated at the Battle of Finta and was forced to retreat.
