Sanguszko

Sanguszko

Sanguszko (Belarusian: "Сангушка") is a Polish-Lithuanian noble family of the Ruthenian stock from Gediminid dynasty. Like other princely houses of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, its origin has been considered murky. Present opinion stands in favour of their descent from Algirdas' grandson Alexander Feodorovich (fl 1433-43), lord of Kovel and Luboml, whose name could be shortened as "Sangush". From two of his sons, "Alexander" and "Michael", descend two lines of the family.

The senior line, called the "Sanguszko-Koszyrski", is extinct since the death of Adam Aleksander Sanguszko in 1653. The junior line, or the "Sanguszko-Kowelski", of Szymon Samuel Sanguszko, subsequently assumed the title "Sanguszko-Lubartowicz", according to the erroneous assumption of their descent from Algirdas' younger brother Lubart.

Prince Paweł Karol Sanguszko-Lubartowicz (1682-1752), a Court and Grand Marshal of Lithuania, greatly expanded his holdings through his second marriage with Marianna Lubomirska, heiress of Ostrog. His chief residence at Slawuta (now in Ukraine) was embellished with a famous collection of Persian carpets, known as Sanguszko carpets. Hieronymous Sanguszko (1743-1812) founded the Slawuta stud, establishing the family as breeders of Arabian horses.

After partitions of Poland, Eustachy Erazm Sanguszko fought in the Kościuszko Uprising and Napoleon's Russian campaign. His son, Prince Roman Sanguszko, was a Polish officer who parcitipated in the November Uprising, and was exiled to Siberia. His life is the subject of "Prince Roman" (1910) one of Joseph Conrad's short stories. With incorporation of Halychyna into Ukraine, the Sanguszkos lost their Gumniska and Slawuta estates, as well as a palace in Lwów, and emigrated to Brazil.

By the later 20th century, the family was represented by a single person, Prince Paul (born 1973), who resides at São Paulo. His mother came of the Polignac lineage.
