Notes

Founder of the House of Sobieski

According to the family's legend, it traced its lineage to a Polish duke, Leszek II the Black. Another family legend said that they were the descendants of Duke Sobieslaw, the son of Leszko III, a legendary ruler of the Popielids dynasty. Marek Sobieski (1549/1550 - 1605) was a Polish-Lithuanian noble (szlachcic).

He was a courtier from 1577, a Royal Court Chorazy (chorazy nadworny królewski) from 1581, a castellan of Lublin from 1597, and a voivode of Lublin Voivodeship from c. 1597/98.

He was the grandfather of Jan III Sobieski, the elected King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
