Biskup krakowski Jan Radlica i jego bracia. Uzupełnienia genealogiczne
Bishop of Kraków Jan Radlica and His Brothers. Genealogical Supplements

Summary/Abstract: This article makes supplement regarding the closest family circle of Jan Radlica, an outstanding figure of the Polish political scene during the reign of Louis I of Hungary and the initial period in the reign of Władysław Jagiełło. Radlica was chancellor of the Kingdom of Poland, a member of the college of governors of the Kingdom of Poland, and the bishop of Kraków. Sobiesław Szybkowski points out that, besides Wojciech of Krowica and Łask (the ancestor of the Łaski family of the Korab coat of arms), the castellan of Ląd, Mojek-Mojżesz (1381—1390), the castellan of Biechów, was most certainly also Radlica’s brother. Szybkowski also reconstructs the circle of Mojka-Moses’s direct descendants. Bogusław of Rajsko (1386) and Tomek of Rajsko (1400) could also have been Radlica’s brothers. These additions to the genealogy of this family circle make possible a better reconstruction of the bishop’s property base, which at the beginning of the fifteenth century, consisted of 20 estates. A significant part of these estates must have been purchased by Jan Radlica personally or with his money, which confirms the opinions of medieval biographers about the bishop as the founder of estates for his poor relatives. However, Radlica made sure not only that the welfare of his family would increase, but also that his brothers would pursue careers in the administration. There is no doubt that both the castellan of Biechów Mojek-Mojżesz and the castellan of Ląd Wojciech from Krowica and Łask owed their positions as castellans to him.
