Astikai

Astikai (Latin: Astikus, Polish: Ościk, Ościkowicze or Ostik) was a Lithuanian noble family, that prospered in late 14th and early 17th centuries.

[1] It is worth to note, that members of Astikai family on different occasions were referred to by these names.

It is known that Kristinas Astikas had four sons: Radvilas, Stanislovas (sometimes also called Stankus), Mikalojus and Baltramiejus.

In 1580 Jurgis' brother Gregory received death sentence because he falsified signatures and money.

He was also accused of conspiracy with Moscow to assassinate Stefan Batory, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania.

Jonas, a petty officer in Vilnius, was the last recorded member of the Astikai family (died 1609).
