Wiśniowiecki

Wiśniowiecki

Wiśniowiecki ( _uk. Вишневе́цький _lt. Višnioveckiai|}) is the name of a family notable in the history of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. They were powerful magnates in Ruthenia of Gediminids descent, Kniaz (prince) actually, in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, with vast possessions in the 16th to 18th centuries on the territories of today's Ukraine, particularly the town of Vyshnivets. The ancestor of the family was Duke Kaributas (Ruthenian: "Dymitr Korybut"), a son of the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Algirdas. His son Fedor of Nesvizh started the family.

Likely the most notable members of this family were Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki, king of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1669 to 1673, and his father Jeremi Wiśniowiecki.
