151	Gen.IX "Devoted to a chivalrous occupation from the time of his youth, at the time of the Swedish wars he was captured and carried away to Sweden." He must have considered marriage there with (?) Puttkamer, daughter of a Swedish general. He died, childless, in Sweden.	Piotr Broel-Plater
152	Gen.IX (Fabian-Henryk, according to the erroneous information of E. Baron von Fircks), who was born in 1669 and died in 1732. I could only find one official confirmation of his appearance and this was on the 27th March 1704. He is mentioned at that time without a name, position or function - only as "born" to Jadwiga Elzbieta nee von Tiesenhausen and in the contents of that reference it is revealed that he was a boy. According to all Polish sources, he died as a child or "young".	Jan Teofil Broel-Plater
153	Gen.IX Died "at the time of the ravages of the Polish pestilence" in the years between 1710 and 1712	Kazimierz Broel-Plater
154	Gen.IX Died "at the time of the ravages of the Polish pestilence" in the years between 1710 and 1712	Michał Broel-Plater
155	Gen.IX Heir to the estates Indryca, Warnowicz, Hoftenburg and Borni. Senior of the whole Polish family of Counts Plater. Member of Parliament from Livonia at Grodno in 1693 and Warsaw in the years 1695, 1696 and 1720. In 1698 he was said to be Livonian Cup-bearer. He is believed to have remained in the Royal Domain at Osun, near Dyneburg, until 1702. On 25th January 1729 he purchased the estates Kombulmujze (also known as Frejtagshof) and Kraslaw, together with a town of the same name. On 1st May 1732 he sold the Gross-Schwirkeln estate for 29,740 florins. He was a supporter of King Stanislas Leszczynski and had an early inclination towards the Saxon party. He was the 3rd from the family to be Starost of Livonia - most likely as a successor to his brother Jan Andrzej in 1735. Immediately afterwards, he received the title as Voivode of Livonia and therefore the 3rd Senator from the family. Jan Ludwik is considered to be one of the most outstanding members of the family. He was described by Jan August Hylzen as 'incomparable leader and landlord, father and guardian of our province'. He was known as 'The Patriarch of Livonia' and was fully worthy of this description. His personal politics were directed more towards the political interests of Livonia and the Livonian nobility. He secured peace for them at a time when other provinces of the Republic were having difficulties. Kraslaw, where he settled, became a centre, radiating out to the whole of Livonia. He was very cultured and skillfully used Latin, which he wrote in prose and verse.	Jan Ludwik Broel-Plater
156	Gen.IX In 1703 or 1704 she was betrothed to a colonel of the Army Staff of Great Lithuania, Zygmunt Ernest von Bandemer, born not earlier than 1669 and heir to the Brggen estate (supra - once the property of the Platers). From German records which have been preserved, no explanation is given as to why Fabian Plater reversed his previous good understanding and would not permit the marriage of his daughter to Colonel von Bandemer. After various upsets which this occasioned, Fabian Plater, acting on impulse, served a complaint against Zygmunt Ernest von Bandemer on the 30th March 1704 by the hands of Michał Rafał Szumski (Arms Jastrzębiec), steward and substitute of the Vilnius governor's office, to the Colonel of the Mounted Squadron, Hetman of Great Lithuania, Michał Serwacy Wiśniowiecki. The reason for the complaint was, that on the second day of Easter 1704 (and therefore on the 24th March), Fabian Plater with his family were in attendance at the parish church of Kaltenbrunn in Courland. At the time of the divine service, the former fiancee of his daughter, Zygmunt Ernest von Bandemer arrived in front of the church at the head of a detachment of one hundred horsemen. Colonel Bandemer entered the church accompanied by two officers of the same squadron, namely, Lieutenant-Colonel Jerzy von Bandemer, his brother, and Captain of Cavalry, Fryderyk von Korff, and ten armed soldiers. Colonel Bandemer approached the collator's pew where Fabian Plater and his family were seated and forcibly ('continued', according to the words of the complaint) took from the protecting arms of the mother, the weeping Jadwiga Elżbieta Plater, who was crying for help. He carried her from the church, placing her in a sleigh, the property of Fabian Plater, and under an escort of soldiers, forthwith transported her to the home of his parents at Briiggen. On the 26th March 1704 a special Lutheran pastor was brought to Briiggen and performed the marriage of Colonel Zygmunt Ernest von Bandemer and Jadwiga Elżbieta Plater. After the marriage the Colonel took his wife to his Drui (otherwise known as Sapieżyszki) estate in the Brasław district. It was claimed in the evidence of Colonel Bandemer, that he carried off Jadwiga Elżbieta but that he did this with her complete consent and had caused no violence in the church; that he did not lead the armed soldiers to the church and the sleigh in which he carried off his betrothed from Kaltenbrunn to Briiggen was his own and did not belong to Fabian Plater. He maintained that Jadwiga Elżbieta sat in it willingly and she willingly swore matrimonial fidelity to him in the presence of his parents and witnesses in their house. At least some of these claims relating to the evidence of the accused were supported on the facts and confirmed by the annexures to the letters of Jadwiga Elżbieta, written to her husband from Drui on the 21st May and from Różan on the 4th June 1704. In literal import, these letters added to the legal facts, giving proof beyond doubt of the warm love that Jadwiga had for her husband and they excluded the presence of compulsion in the whole of this affair. The matter pending against Colonel Bandemer and his accomplices at that time; the insult to the church; the abduction of the girl and whatever other claims about it being a most grievous offence to use use troops under command to commit such transgressions, were brought to a head quickly and in an atmosphere unfavourable for the defendants. This is confirmed clearly in the letter of Colonel Bandemer to his parents but above all by the two letters of his wife to Fabian Plater written from Różan - the first on the 4th June and the second on the 23rd July 1704. In the letters to her father, Jadwiga Elżbieta von Bandemer implores him to have compassion on her and her husband. She begged that the process for a lawsuit against the accused be stopped. She wrote that she loved her husband, that she was united with him in marriage and that she desired only to live with him etc, etc. Notwithstanding these letters, the lawsuit against the Bandemers and Korff took place at Birża on the 17th July 1704 in the absence and without the knowledge of Jadwiga and finished with a verdict condemning all three to death by firing squad - that is, Zygmunt Ernest and Jerzy Bandemer and Fryderyk Korff. The sentence on the two brothers was carried out on the 20th July 1704. Fryderyk von Korff avoided the penalty and remained safe for in the last moments before the execution was performed, he escaped on his horse with an escort of soldiers. Immediately after the execution of the two brothers, there arrived by post (evidently operating free in the administration of justice in those times), three letters from King August II, dated at Łańcut on the 28th July 1704. One was addressed to the Grand Hetman, M.S. Wiśniowiecki, one to Fabian Plater and one to his wife. In the letter to the Hetman, the King made recommendations about showing leniency towards Colonel Bandemer as a deserving soldier, drawing attention to the fact that the jurisdiction of the judgment did not extend to Courland where the act of rape had taken place. In both letters to Fabian Plater and his wife, the king appealed in the name of the young couple and their mutual feelings for each other, in an endeavour to appease the parents of the unfortunate Jadwiga-Elżbieta. Simply stated, however, those letters could in no way alter anything because the sentence had already been carried out. The death of the Bandemers and all the preceding mishaps were recorded by a witness, even if not a fellow participant - Jerzy Fryderyk von Manteuffel genannt Szoge, which later served as the background for the narrative of the matter by Henryk Laube and published in Mitawa in 1842 under the title "Tales of the Bandemers of Courland." After the death of her husband, Jadwiga Elżbieta von Bandemer, with the help of her father, arranged to stay "at a French convent in Vilnius", and therefore certainly at Wizytki. After a time she was spoken for by her cousin, Ferdynand Wilhelm Plater, when he was a ward of her father. According to Wilczyński and other Polish authors after him, Jadwiga Elżbieta, before her marriage with Ferdynand Plater was married to Maciej or Mateusz Dowmont-Siesicki (Arms Bawola Głowa), a Wiłkomirz Marshal. None of the Polish sources or works known to me, with the exception of Pulvis, include a reference about Zygmunt Ernest von Bandemer and about his ill-fated marriage with Jadwiga-Elżbieta Plater.	Jadwiga Elżbieta Broel-Plater
157	Gen.IX In the years 1690 and 1691, he appears as a lieutenant in Riga. In 1721 he received the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel and later, the rank of Colonel. He must have been "Landratem of Livonia" (Chairman of the Council) in 1721. He inherited after his father, Kioma Tödwenshof and Pigast. In 1723 he purchased the Könhof and Wahlenhof estates. In the following year he sold Pigast. He died in 1728 and on the 1st of November in that year was buried at Dorpat.	Gerhard Jan Broel-Plater
158	Gen.IX Often, using only his first name. After his father he inherited the estates Uzulmujza, Owił, Zajnów with Sporuny, Śmołw and Szatejki, in which he erected a brick church in 1716. An enterprising landlord who left to his son a great fortune. Until 1748 and perhaps later, he held an office in the Livonian Army and according to Pulvis he was appointed to the position on the 30th June 1698. In 1712 he was an envoy to St Petersburg as a resident of the Republic at the Court of Peter I., for the procurement of compensation for losses caused by the Russian Army. In the alliance from that mission, Jan Wilhelm produced from his caskets, 6,500 "coined crowns" which the Parliament of 1717 ordered him to restore, recommending in the constitution that that sum "be made available for the next Treasury Tribunal of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania". In German and Russian sources, Jan Wilhelm is mentioned erroneously as Voivode of Livonia, a position which he did not hold.	Jan Wilhelm Broel-Plater
159	Gen.IX While his father was still living he received from him the ceding of the appointment as Starost of Dynaburg and he appeared in this office until his death. He was the Livonian Member of Parliament in Warszawa in the years 1695 and 1699 and in Grodno in 1718. It appears that he fought at Olkieniki against Sapieha in 1700. During the Convention at Lublin, on the 11th August 1707 he was elected by the nobles as the representative (deputy) to the Royal Council under the Primate. He died, as a bachelor, at Warszawa in 1735. He had the favour of great popularity with the nobility. The miniature of Jan Andrzej, taken from the portrait when it was at Krasław, is held in the collection of Thaddeus Plater Zyberk at Valduc in Belgium.	Jan Andrzej Broel-Plater

In 1595, if not earlier, he was married to Barbara von Ungern-Sternberg. I am of the opinion that this John in 1613 was co-heir with a certain (?) Spill to the ecclesiastical village of Sissegall (supra).	Jan Broel-Plater

Returning in 1603 to Livonia he became a country official until 1619. In the year 1625 he sold the estate Luby-Mojsa in the Wendenski district which was "well nigh a feudal possession" to George Meerfeldt. In the year 1631 he was a Captain of Cavalry in the Dorpat district and was at the same time Assessor of "Hofgericht".

194	Gen.VII (Sometimes erroneously named Jan Wilhelm) Founder of the branch at Zmudz He must have been an elector of Władysław IV. in 1632. He was the heir to the estates Lutzen or Lutzensee and Ilsen or Ilsenhof in Courland, and the Krottusz (?) estate in Zmudz. He must also have held the Glebau estate in Zmudz as a security. According to Pulvis he was also the heir to the Willgahlen, Feegan and Laukiszki (?) estates. In 1642 he signed as an elector of Jan Kazimierz. He and his children changed to Catholicism. Pulvis and other heraldic works prescribe for him a daughter, Elżbita Helena or Helena Elżbita who was married to Fabian Kazimierz von der Borch, General of Artillery in the army of the Grand Duke of Lithuania, who died in 1710.
