History

The family originated from Masovia. Their family nest was Siecień, and they initially went by the name Siecieński (z Siecina). On 1 July 1631, one branch of the family was elevated to the title of the Imperial Count by Ferdinand II. On March 14, 1786 members of the untitled branch, namely Antoni, Gabriel and Stanisław Krasicki of the Rogala coat of arms, were granted the title of Count in Galicia with the predicate Hoch- und wohlgeboren ( High-born and noble ), based on their blood relation to Ignacy Krasicki.
