Ostrogski Family
The House of Ostrogski ( pl, Ostrogscy, lt, Ostrogiškiai, ua, Острозькі - ''Ostroz'ki'') was one of the more prominent families in the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The family was of Ruthenian origin, founded by the 14th century noble Danylo Ostrogski, who took his name from the historic city of Ostroh in contemporary Ukraine. After the death in 1620 of Janusz Ostrogski, the last male heir, most of the family's possessions passed to the Zasławski family.

The probable progenitor of this family was Prince Danylo Dmytrovych (''or Danylo Wasilijewicz''), who received Ostroh from Liubartas, K ...
