Tarnowski Family
The House of Tarnowski (plural: Tarnowscy) is the name of a Poland, Polish Nobility, noble and aristocratic family (''szlachta''). Because Polish adjectives have different forms for the genders, Tarnowska is the form for a female family member. History The Tarnowski family was one of the oldest and most powerful magnate families in Poland. It reached its apex in the 14th, 15th and the 16th centuries, when members of the Tarnów, Melsztyn and later Jarosław branches held prominent positions beside the Piast and Jagiellon kings of Poland. From father to son, the Tarnowski family held ten times the office of voivode of Kraków Voivodeship (14th century – 1795), Kraków Voivodeship and six times the office of castellan of Kraków. The history of the family started with the trusted advisor of the last Piast kings Comes Spytek z Melsztyna, the progenitor of the Tarnowski-Melsztyński-Jarosławski family. By 1320 he held the office of voivode of Kraków, and from 1331 the highest ...
