Tomasz Slaski

-

Tomasz Slaski (born 17th c., c. 1680) - in the years 1631-1656 the administrator of the estate of the courtesan Karol Ferdinand Vasa.

He came from the Silesian coat of arms Grzymala. He was the son of Adam Slaski, the first representative of this family connected with Małopolska and the founder of the "Malopolska line" of this family.

In 1618 he was a student of the Cracow Academy, where he was recorded as a native of Płock. For more than 20 years (from 1631 to 1656) he was managing the vast estate of the Żywiec family, belonging to the Bishop of Płock, the king, Charles Ferdinand Vasa, the brother of King John Casimir. Under his rule, the town of Żywiec was expanded, among others. In 1648, a new settlement was built behind the castle. He was a wealthy man and financially supported the church in Żywiec and church organizations (the Brotherhood of the Rosary). Probably also participated in the defense of Żywiec against Swedes.

He then moved to his estate near Proszowice, where he participated actively in public life (taking part in the premiership seizures, writing in 1668 the abdication of King Jan Kazimierz), or in 1669 in the election of King Michael Korybut Wiśniowiecki ). Twenty years after his death he wrote: A series of merit surpasses any honorable award we think of the supreme man. One of his two sons Adam Slaski, a mielnicki, was born between 1655 and 1660, and died in 1704. His person and his ancestors are praised by a pamphlet written by Cracow Academy Professor Kazimierz Jan Ceypler, Turres abundantia meritorum in Ecclesiam. & amp; Patriam instructae multiplici virtuttum armatura invicti Grzymalia Herois Magnifici olim Geonoris domini Adami in Slasy Slaski pocilillatoris mielnicensis, published in 1704 in Cracow. Adam Slaski was married to Konstanty of Czarne Czarniecka (a relative of the famous Stefan Czarniecki, deserved during the Swedish invasion) and had seven sons with her. Bibliography
