Summary/Abstract: The article presented here presents the history of the Podolian Line of the renowned Lanckoroński family, Zadora coat of arms, which in the mid-16th century took into its possession the town of Jagielnica, together with the adjacent estates in Podolia. The first owner of Jagielnica from the Lanckoroński family was Hieronim (d. 1569), starost of Skała, who was the actual ancestor of the Jagielnica branch of this family. The article analyses four generations of the Lanckoroński family from this line. While the history of the life of Hieronim and his sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren is discussed briefly, most of the text is devoted to the most eminent descendants of the starost of Skała – his sons Stanisław (d. 1592), castellan of Halych and Mikołaj (d. 1597), chamberlain of Podolia, his grandson Stanisław (1585–1617), voivode of Podolia and his great-grandson, also Stanisław (d. 1657), the voivode of Ruthenia and the field hetman of Crown. In this article, the author introduced a number of corrections and additions both to the genealogy of the Lanckoroński family and to the biographies of many representatives of the Jagielnica line. Much attention is devoted to the families from which the Lanckoroński’s wives came. Kinship was established between the particular representatives of this family who and certain important and influential personalities on the political scene of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Keeping in mind the broader background of the history of the Polish-Lithuanian state, the author also discusses a number of previously unknown political, economic and moral issues related to the history of the Lanckoroński family.
