The House of Komorowski (plural: Komorowscy, feminine form: Komorowska) is an old and influential Polish aristocratic family whose ancestral seat was Komorów in the Duchy of Belz.




History and titles


The first mentions of the Komorowski family come from the 14th century. Its progenitor was the knight Dymitr Komorowski of Komorów. Throughout the centuries, they acquired estates and titles. They held the title Count of Liptov and Orawa, which was given to them in 1467 by the Polish king Casimir IV Jagiellon and confirmed in 1469 by the Hungarian king, Matthias Corvinus. In 1793 they were granted the title of Count in Galicia by Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor. After the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire their titles were confirmed in 1820 by the Deputation of the Senate of Poland, in 1844 by the State Council of the Russian Empire and in 1892 by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
