Much space has been devoted to the history of this family in Polish historical literature. Relatively little has been written, however, about the estates belonging to the Tęczynskis. It might appear that the story of this family holds no mysteries. The author’s research demonstrates that there are. This article explores the history of the Tęczyński latifundium in the seventeenth century, and makes some significant corrections and additions to the family relations and history of the last two generations of this powerful family, which played a significant role in its time.
