Stanisław Stadnicki

Stanisław Stadnicki

Stanisław Stadnicki (c. 1551 – 1610), a Polish nobleman, Lord Starosta Żygwulski, a known troublemaker, called 'the Devil of Łańcut' (Polish: "diabeł łańcucki") for his violent behaviour. Lord of the castle in Łańcut. Enemy of Jan de Zamość Zamoyski, Grand Chancellor of the Crown in 1606 he became one of the leaders of the rokosz of Zebrzydowski. From his Łańcut castle he organised many assaults (zajazdy) at the estates of Łukasz de Bnin Opaliński and Anna Ostrogska.

Married to Anna Stadnicka, father of Zygmunt Stadnicki, Władysław Stadnicki, Stanisław Stadnicki (junior) and Felicjana Stadnicka. After his death, his family carried his tradition of troublemaking, with his wife earning the nickname of "the Łańcut devilwoman" and his sons, "the Łancut devilchildren".

He died on 20 August 1610, when he was confronted with an overwhelming force loyal to Łukasz Opaliński, and didn't manage to evade pursuit to return to his own men.

Stanisław Stadnicki is one of the personas on the famous painting by Jan Matejko: the sermons of Piotr Skarga.
