Zbaraski

Polish princely family From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The House of Zbaraski (Polish: Zbarascy) was a Polish-Lithuanian princely family of Ruthenian origin in the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland domiciled in Volhynia (today Ukraine). The name is derived from the town of Zbarazh, the core of their dominions branched off the princely Nieświcki family [pl]. . They claimed to be Gediminids descended from Kaributas and their coat of arms is stamped with the Korybut coat of arms. The line ended in 1631, with their assets overtaken by their cadet branch, the Wiśniowiecki family.[1]
