PODHORSCY (their proper Arms or Brodzic exchangeable with a crown)
[1]
The following brief historic and monographic description
of Princes Podhorskis begins in 1563, i.e. when this
family of the Russian origin arrived from Muscovite state to Poland.
We can mention only in general the ancient history of
this family because there are no exact facts about the ancestors of this family
who stayed in this year in the Great Duchy of Moscow: a part of their papers
disappeared during the crossing the border of the Poland and other papers are
kept in the Historical Archive in Moscow and in the Senate Archive in St.
Petersburg and they are inaccessible for us.
Using only not numerous documents which are kept in the
family and in the Kiev archive, family traditions and verbal communications
which are told from generation to generation, finally old family seals and some
books on heraldry one can surely tell that Princes Podhorskis are descendants of the Russian Princely house of Rurik i.e. they are "Princes
of the Rurik House".
It is very difficult to point with certainty to which
branch of this Princely family Podhorski belong just
as many other genealogies of the families originated from Rurik are often based
on fantasies and conjectures rather than on real facts. Podhorskis themselves say about their descendance from Princes
of Pereyaslav exactly from Prince Wrach Olechowicz who was a grandson of Prince Vsevolod of Pereyaslav, and this
was the name of Podhorskis' ancestors as appendage
princes.
One of our heraldics, Wielądko (p. 199)
numbers Podhorskis among the descendants of the Pereyaslav house, considering Wrach as their ancestor. He was a son of Olech, a grandson
of Vsevolod and a greatgrandson of Mstislav Rurikovich,
princes of Pereyaslav.
Kuropatnicki agrees with this
genealogy (§ 9, p. 43) just as «Imionopis szlachty polskiej» published in Lwów in the first half of the XIX century.
Małachowski (p.
206) mentions Podhorskis as Russian princes but he
does not indicate the branch from which they originate.
Rulikowski and Radzimiński in their work «Kniaziowie i szlachta» say about Podhorskis as princes originating from the Rurik house.
Other works beside the above mentioned also recognize the Podhorskis' origination from Rurik considering the Pereyaslav house as their cradle. There also exists opinion that the Podhorskis and the extinct family of princes Horskis originate
from the same cradle and there exists assertion that princes Glinskis and Podhorskis formed once one family.
However documents and family papers mention Podhorskis as princes not indicating their origination.
We could not find when this family took the title of
princes Podhorskis. It is known from the Russian
history that princes of the Rurik house and exactly Monomach's descendants originated from his grandsons Izyaslav and Vsevolod (sons of Mstislav)
in the beginning of the XII century took possession of the whole Volhynia. Many princes of the Rurik house lived there. A
lot of quarrels and wars between princes are known, and the result of it was
(especially after the decline of Kiev) the dividing of the Rurik state into
many principalities. When mongols came in 1224 the
last ties between the Rurikis states broke, Kiev was
destroyed and the land turned into desert, most of the princes of the Rurik
house moved from the Dnieper to Volynia and Red Rus.(Rus Czerwona)
We may to suppose that in that time ancestors of the
present Podhorskis moved together with the other princes, i. e. came to Volhynia and settled there. We also know from the history
that in the middle of the XIII century at Volhynia there existed Podhorski principality, its prince was Wasil, brother of
Daniel, and son of Roman as asserts Niesiecki (vol.
VII, ed. by Bobrowicz, p. 177) or Rostislav or Izyaslav as some other Russian historians assert.
We know also that the southern part of the Luck district
was named once Podhorie, there exist nowadays many villages, the names of which are Podhorce, Podhorcze, Podhorecz. Probably the cradle of the name Podhorscki was there. Russian heraldics affirm that under Muscovite state a part of the country which till nowadays is
called Podhorie after the beginning of the Great
Duchy of Moscow was a princely appendage and its name became the name of
reigning princes. We mentioned above that Podhorskis arrived to Poland from Moscow in XVI century.
At any rate both at Volhynia and at the Grand Duchy of Moscow there are historic places which can explain
the etymology of the Podhorskis' name and which also
are strictly connected with the original history of this family. The history of Rus and Russia asserts that just in that time and
even later almost all if not all branches of the Rurik house fall into numerous
separate families, and their names originated from the places which belonged to
them or where they lived.
What was the fate of «Princes Podhorskis»
house till the XVI century we cannot know preciously due to the ignorance of
the Moscow archives. In the old papers of one of the
ancestors of now living Podhorski there is a distinct
indication that for all the traces of the Podhorskis and Fedorowicz-Podhorskis till 1500 one must look in
Moscow documents.
The first mention we find at Tatishchev ("The Russian history"). He writes about a Prince Podhorski (without a name) who distinguished himself in the beginning of 1500 at the
Tsar's hunt under Ivan III.
Then the «Никольская летопись» (Nikolskaja letopis) mentions
Prince Fedor Davidovich Podhorski who was married to princess Kurbska,
daughter of Prince Semen Fedorovich Kurbski, who was uncle of Prince Andrey Michaylovich Kurbski (as
one can see in the genealogy of Kurbskis [Жизнь князя Курбского])
He escaped to Poland under Ivan IV Vasilyevich the
Terrible. This «Letopis» indicates that this Prince Fedor was a governor (namiestnik)
in Nowogródek in 1529 and that he was a member of the embassy to Lithuania.
At last under Ivan IV Vasilyevich the Terrible we see that Prince Gregory Fedorovich Podhorski, son of the
above-mentioned Fedor Davidovich and of the Princess Kurbska, also a governor and okolnichy, being persecuted by the tsar as a member of Adashev's circle («Adashev's team") ("Адашевский кружок»),
in autumn of 1563 together with other princes and boyars escaped from Moscow to
Poland under the protection of the King Sigismund Augustus.(Krol Zygmunt August)
There is attached
here a copy of the king's letter to the Starost of Kremieniec, Prince Mikołay Zbarażski, the original of which is kept in
the family archive of Podhorskis at Bereźna. In this
letter the King orders to pass into the possession of Prince Gregory Podhorski estate Czeczeniowce at Volhynia. This
document signed by the King Sigismund Augustus, was given at Warsaw on November
17, 1563 and registered in the Lithuanic Metric in
the same year. It sounds like this:
«Sigismund Augustus, by the grace of God King of Poland,
Grand Duke of Lithuania, Russia, Prussia, Zamoytsk, Mazovia etc. etc.
To Starost of Kremianiec, manager of Kiev province Prince Mikołaj Andrejowicz Zbarażski
and if he is absent in Kremianiec to the Substarost of Kremianiec, to the
chief of our Kremianiec castle; we order to You,
Prince starost and if he is absent at that time in Kremianiec then to You, Substarost,

and for Our Sovereign name came from Moscow, You must give them for bread
feeding a village named Cecyniowcy where they managed
and in which if there is not more but only two hundreds wołok...
and if not for our harm and if there are more than two hundreds woloks and if not in borders but in the middle of other
villages and lands. - And if in that village Cecyniowce there are more people and lands than two hundreds woloks and if it will be harmful for our ploughed fields near the castle of Kremianiec and if the castle could not manage without it
then You would give them two hundreds woloks in other
place and if Prince Starost is absent in Kremianiec then You Substarost with our letter which gives them these villages i.e. till the time when they

person And for their horses hay and straw so much as they need and for You with
our letter in our property will be taken into account.
Written in Warsaw one thousand five hundreds sixty third
year after Christmas, on November 17 th
Sign of the Sovereign hand
(L.S.)
Besides Czeczeniowcy mentioned
in this patent, it is known from different sources such as tax acts, control
acts, family documents etc. that in the end of the XVI century Prince Gregory Fedorowicz Podhorski possessed villages Toropowce, Sadki, Borki, Orłówka, Woronowicze, Wolica, Woroniec and others at Volhynia.
In the description of the property at Volhynia in the volume XIX of «Źródła dziejowe» by Aleksander Jabłonowski we read in the inventory of possessions and leases
of Volhynia princes in the second half of the XVI
century about princes Podhorskis who arrived recently
and lease extensive possessions of Tolmaczów
in Kremieniec powiat in Krywicki part which later became their property.
The Princes Podhorskis were
Orthodox; "Archive of the South West of
Russia" published by the Kiev university mentions Prince Michał Gregorowicz Podhorski who
in 1601 was a member of Luck Orthodox Fraternity.
According to family documents the first Podhorski who converted to Unia and then to Catholicism was Konstanty, a grandson of
the above mentioned Michał, he also
was first to marry a Catholic, we will write about it further.
The Princely title Podhorskis used
till the beginning of the XIX century; then while inscripting (registering) as nobility into Russians books in 1836 the Russian government
indicating that their title was not used refused to confirm it till they
present all the necessary documents; nevertheless it was permitted them to use
a prince crown in the shield and a prince cloack above their shield. Besides they were inscripted into the part 5 of
the so called "Nobility family register book" to which (part 5) the titled
families or the family having rights to a title were inscripted.
We tell here about one more document which is kept in the
family archive of Podhorskis in Bereźna (Skwirski district in Kiev region). It is a letter written in Latin of the King Augustus II to Jan Podhorski, podkomorzy of Taraszcza and colonel of people's cavalry, in which the
King styles him Count though there is no trace that the podkomorzy ever used this title having a right to the higher - princely title.
Nowadays all the family of Podhorskis lives mainly in the Ukraine in the nowadays districts: Kaniew, Skwira, Taraszcza, Human
and Lipowiec in the Kiev region. Besides they have
possessions in the Podolia and even in Cherson.(Chercass?
) region
Princes Podhorskis have their
proper Arms. This Arms has on the copper shield (in the red field) three russian gold crosses put in such
way in triangle that one stands upwards and two others lay on the side. In the
middle of the shield and the cross there is an apple or a blue orb, half
girdled across with a golden ring. The whole shield is surrounded by the silver contour in the way as it
is done in the princely arms and lays on the purple cloack lined with ermine. In the shield there is a princely crown with a gold cross
which stands on the blue orb, the same as in the arms. The motto of the Podhorskis is «Jure suo» and
earlier in Russian «Не по грамоти»
[Not by the charter].
Our heraldists name this arms «Brodzic exchangeable» (Brodzic odmienny), that can be explained by the fact that when
Prince Gregory Fedorowicz in 1563 arrived to Poland and by the King Sigismund August was inscripted to the Polish nobility, the King looking at the
similarity of the Arms of Princes Podhorskis and the
Arms Brodzic long since used in Poland gave him this
Arms or rather changed the name of the own Arms to Brodzic exchangeable because the Podhorskis kept the original
form of their Arms.
This Arms was used also by one
branch of the Princes Czetwertyńskis
who as the Podhorskis have a right to use in their
Arms the Russian Pogoń and in the XVII and in the beginnings
of the XVIII centuries some of them did. Later they stopped to use St. George in their arms and use only their own Arms.
Now we begin to present he genealogy of the house of Podhorskis since their
arriving to Poland. It is based on the authentic documents from the family
archive in Bereźna
The ancestor of all living now Podhorskis is
Fedor, son of David, Prince Podhorski (I gen.), married as we mentioned above, to
Princess Kurbska. Their son:
Prince Gregory Fedorowich (II gen.),
a governor of Nowogródek and okolnichy of the tsar Ivan IV Vasilyevich,
being persecuted by the tsar, in November 1563 escaped from Moscow to Poland
together with Princes Aleksy and Gavriil Cherkasski, Ofanasy Ihnatev, and others. Being gracefully welcomed by the King
Sigismund August he received a Polish indygenat and
possessions in the Volhynia (see above). There he
married Oksyma Tolmaczówna Borkowska, daughter of a Volhynian boyar Gregory Tolmacz from Borki, a proprietor
of numerous villages in the Kremieniec region, which
Prince Gregory received with his wife, In 1576 Prince Gregory together with brothers Bokij, Wasyl Krasieński, Montold, Sieniuta and many
others went to fight against the khan of the Crimea. In 1580 he was elected
collector [poborca] of Volhynia region (Volum. Leg.) He lived sometimes in Borki which was a possession of his wife and sometimes in

27 fol. 1) and resigned only in 1771, after him this office was given to Józef Bielski nominated on June 14th 1771 (Sigill. 33
