The House of Korecki (Polish: ród Koreckich (Korecki clan), Koreccy) was a princely family originating from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The name is derived from the original seat of the family at the Korets Castle (now in Ukraine's Rivne Oblast).[1]
There are two family legends about the descent. By one of them it descended from Patrikas, son of Narymunt, the second eldest son of Gediminas.[1] By another legend, it derives from Kaributas, son of Algirdas, Grand Duke of Lithuania.[1][2]
The princely family line became extinct in the 17th century.
Coat of arms
[edit]The family used the Pogonia coat of arms, granted to Lithuanian noblemen upon the union into the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.[1]
