House of Bordziłowski


The House of Bordziłowski, also known as Harbuz-Bordziłowski, was a noble family of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and later the Russian Empire. The family is associated with the Białynia coat of arms.

Origins and Etymology

There are several theories regarding the origins of the family name and lineage.
Linguistic studies on Belarusian anthroponymy suggest that the root of the surname, Bardzila, may be derived from the name of the 13th-century Lithuanian duke .
According to the family's own tradition and heraldic legends, the Bordziłowski line originated from Greater Poland from a warrior named Harbuz, who is mentioned in records as early as 1332 during the reign of King Ladislaus the Short. Some sources also mention the family's establishment in Mazovia around 1480.

History

Documentary evidence firmly places the family in the Mstsislaw and Vitebsk Voivodeships of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by the early 16th century.
The first documented representative, Ivashka, owned a number of estates in the Krychaw starostwo based on privileges from King Sigismund I the Old and Prince Vasily Solomeretsky. Some narratives suggest he may have served in the army under Vasili III of Russia or the Polish Crown, but it is confirmed that for his military service he was granted the estate in the village of, which became the nest of the family.
In the 17th century, the family expanded significantly, and its members held positions in the local administration and served in the military. For example, Benedykt Bordziłowski was a major in a pancerni banner under the command of the Voivode of Vilnius Michał Kazimierz Pac.
The Bordziłowskis were recognized as nobility by the decree of the Minsk Noble Deputy Assembly on 6 August 1802 and were entered into the 1st part of the Noble Genealogy Book.

Estates

The family's initial possessions were located in the Krychaw starostwo. The progenitor Ivashka owned the estates of Bałačynskaje, Kałyšeŭskaje, Taŭpyčanskaje, and Dalhašeŭskaje, as well as the estates of Bardzily, Makryda, and Halna Slabada. The privilege for these lands from Sigismund I is dated 9 May 1523.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the estates were fragmented among numerous descendants. In the 19th century, family members owned or lived in estates in the Orsha Uyezd, Rechytsa Uyezd, Grodno Uyezd, Lida Uyezd, and Borisov Uyezd of the Russian Empire.Iwan Harbuz-Bordziłowski
