Branicki (Gryf)

The House of Branicki (plural: Braniccy) was a Polish szlachta (nobility) family.

One of the most prominent members of the family was Field and Great Crown Hetman Jan Klemens Gryf Branicki.

Jan was one of the most powerful and influential magnates in Poland during the 18th century.

He also laid out the central part of the town of Białystok with its triangular market.

He started in the King's election of 1763–1764, but was beaten by his brother-in-law, Stanisław Poniatowski.
