Remigiusz Koniecpolski
Roman Catholic bishop
Remigiusz Koniecpolski (died 1640) was a Polish noble and bishop of Chełm (1627–1640).
Biography
He was likely born in Koniecpol, where the manor of the Koniecpolski magnate family was located. He was the son of Aleksander Koniecpolski, and a brother of the famous military commander (hetman), Stanisław Koniecpolski.
He became a priest. As the abbot of the Cistercian monastery in Jędrzejów he began the process of canonization of blessed Wincenty Kadłubek. Reputed to be an efficient administrator, gathering funds for both the Church and the local municipalities, he was elevated to the position of bishop of Chełm on 17 May 1627. From that point onward, as the position of a bishop granted him a rank in the Senate of Poland, he became involved in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth country-wide matters, and his diocese was administered by one of his assistants, Jan Sasin. He also held the royal court position of the Royal Secretary.
He died in October 1640.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Remigiusz Koniecpolski” as roman Catholic bishop. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as roman Catholic bishop. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 17, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7311795. VIAF identifies the subject as 167095407. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1640 and 1627.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
