Medynsky corporation

During the 17th century, the family’s base was the city of Lutsk (Ukrainian: Луцьк, Polish: Łuck, Yiddish: לוצק). While Medynsky estates were primarily located in Volhynia, they expanded to the left-bank Ukraine region around Kyiv, Lubny, Romny, and Priluky in the 1680s. As members of the Ruthenian nobility, the Medynskys were also recognized as Austrian noblemen, holding the title of Knights as per the Register of Ritter und Edelleute of Kaiserin Maria Theresia. In the late 17th century, one of the family lines, through Theodor Medynski, extended its presence to Bohemia. In the 18th century, several family members, including Bruno Medynski, Kazimir Medynski, Theodor Medynski, Basil Medynski, Stefan Medynski, Anton Medynski, and Johann Medynski, became knights of the Holy Roman Empire and later the Austrian Empire. They maintained their presence primarily in Volhynia, but also extended to Kiev and Chernihiv, as recorded in 1782. During the 19th century, family members, such as Michal Medynski in 1821 and Johann Medynski in 1841, held active positions in the campaigns of the Austrian Empire.
