Jan Lipski

Jan Lipski (Count Jan VIII Lipski) of Łada coat of arms (1589 – 1641) was a bishop of Chełmno (1636–1639), crown referendary and Archbishop of Gniezno and Primate of Poland (from 1639).

Born in a noble family (szlachta) he chose an ecclesiastical career. He held several important posts at the court of Polish king Zygmunt III Waza and his wife Constance of Austria, later at the court of Władysław IV Waza. He became the bishop of Chełmno in 1636 and archibishop of Gniezno in 1639.

In 1637 he was sent by king Władysław to Vienna to escort his future wife, Cecylia Renata. At that time Emperor Ferdinand of the Holy Roman Empire gave him the title of count.

He died in 1641 in his palace in Łyszkowice; it was rumored that he was poisoned by the Protestants.
