Biography
[edit]Natalia Anna Kicka was born as the eldest of four daughters to Piotr Bisping, marshal of Wołkowysk and Józefa Kicka and grew up on a family estate in Hołowczyce.[1]
Kicka collected coins and medals and worked with several pioneers of the numismatic movement in Poland, especially Karol Beyer, Emeryk Huten-Czapski and Kazimierz Strończyński.[2] In the 1870s she conducted archaeological excavations in Kujawy on the so-called Kuyavian Pyramids.[3]
She married Ludwik Kicki, in January 1831. He died in the same year at the Battle of Ostrołęka (1831). Her memoirs are a valuable historical source for the November Uprising.[1] Kicka is buried at the Powązki Cemetery in Warsaw.[4]
