Summary/Abstract: The subject of this article is Bartosz Taborowicz, known as Alexander Jagiellon’s hospodar marshal. He was the brother of the Bishop of Vilnius, Wojciech Tabor, and lived in his shadow, which is why he himself never became the object of an individual study. What we knew so far was that Bartosz’s political career was dependent on Wojciech’s reputation, and that Bartosz’s estate was the result of his own actions taken at the court and of his marriage with Hanna Niemirowicz. The article presents little known aspects of Bartosz’s career, such as his appointment as commissioner to demarcate the border between Poland and Lithuania. The text also broadly presents Bartosz’s family, revealing unknown facts regarding his descent, which is also important in the context of Wojciech Tabor. Even though much has been written about the latter, not much is known about the Tabor family.
