Article Description

K ystyna Uhrowiecka, Suchekomnaty coat of arms was a representative of a well-known family of Ruthenian origin who settled in the Chełm region. On the basis of researched sources, it was possible not only to present an outline of her biography, but also to develop the genealogy of the Uhrowiecki family in the 16 and first half of the 17 century, unknown in principle to heraldist. The author managed to identify the parents, grandfathers and great-grandfathers of the heroine of this study. The article presents short biographies of ancestors and relatives from the male line of Krystyna Uhrowiecka. The second part of the study was devoted to her. The daughter of Mikołaj, starost of Chełm, Krystyna got married twice. The first time she was a wife of the chamberlain of Mielnik, Kasper Dembiński, and the second time of Zbigniew Sienieński, castellan of Lublin. With her first husband, she had a daughter, Franciszka Katarzyna. To the second one she gave birth to six children - sons Mikołaj, Stanisław, Zbigniew and Tomasz, as well daughters Anna and Eufrozyna. The wife of the castellan of Lublin turned out to be a very resourceful and foresighted person. She managed to accumulate quite significant fortune, which she donated to the children. On June 2, 1639, she made a very interesting will, a critical edition of which was attached to the text presented here. She probably died soon after dictating her last will, i.e. still in 1639.
