Zbaraski
Zbaraski (female form Zbaraska , Polish plural Zbarascy , Ukrainian Збаразькі ) was a Polish noble family .
The family of the Zbaraski is a branch of the Nieświcki , which has been documented since the end of the 14th century and later elevated to the prince status , the former ruling family of Nyasvish near Minsk and of Ruthenian origin. They trace their origins back to Grand Duke Gediminas . The noble family of the Zbaraski owned numerous estates in Volhynia at the time of the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania and was named after the Volhyn city of Sbarasch .
The almost two-year stay of the legation of the Crown Stable Master Krzysztof Zbaraski in Constantinople (1622-1624) , which Samuel Twardowski (approx. 1595 / 1600–1661) sang about in a poem, became known . He paid 30,000 thalers to buy the Polish prisoners who had been taken by the Ottomans in the Battle of Cecora on the Prut in 1620. His trip was the occasion for a temporary Polish-Turkish rapprochement. Together with Jerzy Zbaraski he built the Sbarasch Castle (Ukrainian: Збаразький замок) near Ternopil .
