Stanisław Warszycki
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stanisław Warszycki of Abdank coat of arms (c. 1600 – 1680/1681) was a noble (szlachcic) and magnate in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Starosta of Piotrków, Voivode of Mazowsze (1630–1651), Castellan of Cracow (from 1651).[1] He was known for his loyalty to his king and country, and gained fame as a good military commander and especially as a keen investor dedicated to developing his lands, but there are also many legends about his cruelty — although it is likely many of the latter were spread by his enemies. There are now several places in Poland which claim his ghost appears there.
