Origin
The general origin of all the clans attributed to the Dunin clan has not been established according to the documents. Jan Dlugosh cites the legend of the Dunin lineage from Peter Vlostovits , known from the chronicles of the Galician boyar of the 12th century, who was allegedly called Dunin [1] .
Peter Vlast came to the Galicia-Volyn principality ( lat. Regnum Rusiae - “the kingdom of Russia”) to serve the Przemysl prince Volodar in 1124, later served the Polish king Boleslav Krioustoy Palatine of Poland and the Castellan of Wroclaw .
In later sources, he came up with the following ancestry: "the son of Wilhelm Schveno, a Danish nobleman at the court of Eric the Dark , married to a Danish princess." The surname "Dunin" comes from the Polish word "Danube", that is, "Danish". “Shveno” is a variant of the word “swan” in Danish. All descendants of the Dunin family use the Swan coat of arms.
Danube in Russia
One branch of the Duninys entered Russian citizenship after the annexation of Smolensk (1655). Another castellan Polanetsky (1680), descended from Nicholas, migrated to Russia in 1702. From this branch, Ivan Petrovich Dunin was in 1795 a general-in-chief (Gerbovnik, VII, 168 and XI, 40). In addition, the Raevskys produced their own kind from the Dunins-Raetsky, who left a noticeable mark on Russian history and culture of the 19th century.
The coat of arms of the Dunin family was included in Part 7 of the General Armorial of the noble families of the All-Russian Empire, p. 168. The coat of arms of the Dunin-Borkovsky family was included in Part 9 of the General Arm of the noble families of the All-Russian Empire, p. 9.
Dunin in Galicia
In the Habsburg Empire, four Dunin clans and one Dunin-Borkovsky clans confirmed their gentry origin in the kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria [2] .
