Enduring for over seven hundred and seventy years, the Princely House of Kasperski was formed, when a knight from one of the Korwin families married the daughter of the Pobog clan, with subsequent families deriving from both the Gorlice, Lublin and Krakow regions, as well from the Krakow, Malogoszcz and Biecz regions.  Evolving paternal families were tied to the herb (coat of arms) Łabędź, while maternal families, lived and fought under the herb. Ślepowron.

 

Following Napoleonic rule, Poland’s traditional royal families ceased to rule in their own right and upon becoming a republic in the early 20th century, descendants of Poland’s Royal Houses have become more scattered, providing less relevance to modern Poland.  As a proud republic, Poland no longer retains any Royal lineage and does not formally recognise any descendants of Poland's Royal line. However, from an historical perspective, it is in their interest to maintain the correct and accurate record of their historical past. To this end Polish historical records is bound to retain and protect this lineage and all those who comprise part of it.

In 2006, the family was contacted by the Chancellor of Historic Records in Poland, providing them with information about their family lineage, concluding that both Andrzej and Marek are entitled to bear or hold the title of His Serene Highness. These titles were not bought nor were they sought. The Kasperski family was notified regarding these titles and tested the assertions in the appropriate court. The legitimacy of these titles was recognised by the International Tribunal of Justice, by Arbitration, when it handed down an arbitral award in September 2008, resolving that...

" Andrzej Kasperski was the 'current possesor of the nobiliary titles of Prince from Poland and of Count of the Roman Sacred Empire", and that

" Marek Kasperski is the currrent possessor of the current nobiliary title of Prince from Poland".

 

According to custom and courtesy title only, authority is granted for spouses as consorts to also use the title. The titles are acknowledged but not recognised by the Republic of Poland; nor do they have any standing in Poland.

 

The Kasperski family has gained a wealth of information about their family history, which they will preserve for future generations. They have met people whos' paths they would never have crossed, and been presented with opportunites they would not have been able to undertake, but for their royal lineage.

 

The Kasperski-Labedz family do not seek recognition from the Polish government or communities, they do not seek any compensation nor have they benefitted financially from holding these titles.
