From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The House of Ostroróg was the name of an old
Polish noble family taking their name from
Ostroróg, a town in
Szamotuły County,
Greater Poland Voivodeship,
Poland. They used the
Nałęcz coat of arms. Members of the family held the title of
Count and often held important civic posts in the Wielkpolska region in the
Kingdom of Poland, particularly that of
voivode. At the end of the 19th-century, family members settled in France, England and for a time, in Turkey.
