Linia swarożyńska rodu Czapskich herbu Leliwa w czasach nowożytnych
The Swarożyn line of the Czapski family of the coat of arms of Leliwa in the Early Modern times

Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the subject matter of the Czapski family of the coat of arms of Leliwa – in particular one of its lines, whose name comes from the name of the village Swarożyn in Royal Prussia. Unlike their relatives from Smętów and Bąków, representatives of the Swarożyn line did not make any spectacular political careers. The outline presents the correct genealogy of the family, which in historiography was often shown erroneously. It should be underlined that no complex study of this family has ever been made despite the fact that the family was quite significant in the 18th century. The Swarożyn line of the family remained in the shadow owing to its Protestant denomination and weaker biological potential. Still, despite problems, several representatives of the Swarożyn line of the Czapski family reached a high social status in the Prussian province.
