Biography
In 1468, after the death of their father, Prince Václav Zatorsky , Jan V, together with the brothers Kazimir , Václav and Vladislav, they received the Zatoria principality . At the time of his father’s death, Yang was probably still a minor, despite this, he, along with his elder brothers Casimir II and Wenceslas II, began to direct his father’s principality.
In 1474, after the division between the brothers of the fatherly principality, Jan V, along with his younger brother Vladislav, received half of the Zatoria principality (west of the Skawa River) in joint ownership.
In 1477, the co-princes Kazimir , Wenceslaus , Jan and Vladislav Zatorsky concluded an agreement on the mutual inheritance of possessions. Despite this, Jan began negotiations in 1477 with his brother-in-law , Prince Casimir II Tseshinki , with whom he also concluded a separate agreement on the mutual inheritance of possessions in the event of death without offspring. But this agreement due to the lack of approval of the Polish king Casimir IV Jagiellonczyk , the suzerain of the Zatoria principality, has not entered into force.
In 1482, the co-regent brothers Jan V Zatorsky and Vladislav Zatorsky divided among themselves the half of the Zatoria principality belonging to them. Vladislav took possession of the city of Wadowice , which he owned until his death in 1493 .
After the death of his three brothers Vaclav ( 1484/1487 ), Casimir ( 1490 ) and Vladislav ( 1493 ), Jan V united under his rule the whole Zatoria principality .
On July 29, 1494, Prince Jan Zatorsky, who had no legal posterity, sold the Zatoria principality for 80,000 florins to the new Polish king Ian I Olbraht Jagiellon (1492-1501). Yang Zatorsky himself retained the princely title and small lands. As an extra cash, Prince Yan Zatorsky received annually 200 hryvnias from the Wieliczka salt mines .
Despite the fact that since 1494 the Zorskie princedom was officially the property of the Polish crown, the position of Prince Yang was so strong that he had to twice, in 1501 and 1506 , take the vassal oath of allegiance to the Polish crown.
Prince Jan V Zorky died tragically on September 17, 1513 . He was murdered by the rich Polish gentry Vavzhinets Myshkovsky from Spytkowice . The reason for the murder was commonplace. The right to use water from the pond that belonged to Myshkovsky was granted free of charge to residents of the city by order of Jan V, which brought significant financial losses to the pond owner. Jan V Zatorsky was buried in Mash .
The final annexation of the Zatoria principality to the Kingdom of Poland took place on October 26, 1513 , when the headman of Auschwitz, Andrzej Kosceletsky, took an oath of allegiance from the local nobility to the Polish king Sigismund the Old .
Marriage
In 1475/1477, Prince Jan V Zatorsky married Barbara Tseshinsky (1449/1453 - 1494/1507), the daughter of Boleslav II, Prince of Silesia in Cieszyn and Karvin , and Princess Anna Ivanovna Belskaya, the widow of Prince Balthazar Zagansky (1410/1415 - 1472 ). This marriage was childless. Nevertheless, Jan Zatorsky had an illegitimate son Yang (died before 1521), who had no right to inherit after his father’s death (in particular, to the title of prince).
