Krynicki (Sas and Korab)

One Krynicki family of the Sas coat-of-arms is descended from Szandro (Alexander) the Wallachian (Szandro Wołoch) who received the village of Krynica near Lviv (now Stryi Raion, Lviv Oblast) from King Władysław II Jagiełło in 1402.

[1] In 1448 King Casimir IV granted knights Daszko (Daniel) and Sienko (Semyon) with the villages of Krynica and Morachwa in Podolia.

[1] In 1610 a commoner Jan from Krynica was ennobled by King Sigismund III Vasa with the Korab arms for participation in the war against Muscovy.

[3] There is a hypothesis that Jan Krynicki was the son of Danko from Miastko (the current village of Tylicz), the first soltys of Krynica, a rich peasant from Wallachia.

[6] The debate over Jan Krynicki's background is complicated by the fact that in the patent it says his mother hailed from an old Polish noble family, thus a marriage choice for a commoner is questioned.
