Quick Summary

Antoni CzetwertyƄski was a Polish noble and a prominent member of the CzetwertyƄski family, which traced its lineage back to Kievan Rus'. He served as the castellan of Przemyƛl and was the final leader of the Confederation of Targowica. This confederation opposed the Polish constitution of 1791, and CzetwertyƄski was ultimately executed as a traitor during Tadeusz Koƛciuszko's insurrection. The CzetwertyƄski family has a history that includes philanthropists and political figures, with members serving in the Russian Duma and the Polish Sejm. The concept of gens polonica, an early form of nationalism, also emerged in Poland during periods of division.12
