Summary/Abstract: The following text presents supplementations to prosegraphy and family relationships of the closest relatives of Mikołaj Trąba and Wojciech Jastrzębiec, two close co-workers of king Władysław Jagiełło, and archbishops in Gniezno taking an office one after another. In the case of one of the brothers, the latter, namely Jastrzębiec, a chamberlain from Łęczyca, it was indicated that he was still alive on 25 November 1410. Also, a closer chronology of leaving priesthood by one of his nephews, Marcin from Borysławice and Rytwiany, who having resigned from a priesthood career, took part in the great battle with the Teutonic Knights (1409—1411), and was appointed a knight after the battle in Grunwald, was presented. An interesting context of the marriage of a niece of the hierarch in question, Anna (a daughter of chamberlain Mikołaj) with Jan from Licheń, a nephew of Andrzej Łaskarzyc from Gosławice, a bishop in Poznań, was more widely discussed. It was also proved that the marriage of chamberlain Mikołaj with Małgorzata from Borysławice did not only led to substantially increased property basis of the Jastrzębiec family by the Borysławice key to Łęczyca Land and two villages in the Kalisz county in Wielkopolska, but also relating a new family from Łubnice and Beszowa by marriage to an outstanding line of the Ogon family from which originated among others the Kościelecki, Umieński, Lubiński-Chodecki and Działyński families in Szeroka Wielkopolska, The so far unknown source also allowed for paying attention to a close relationship between Mikołaj Trąba and a clerk family deriving from Dobrzyn and Kujawy Brzeskie (the Tłuchowski-Baruchowski family belonging to the noble clan of Cholewa). It allowed for making an assumption that although Trąba was an illegitimate son, his mother came without a doubt from a noble family (perhaps even a clerk one) that was significant on a regional scale. Likewise, his biological father, a prelate in the chapter in Sandomierz.
