Plater family
The Plater family is an originally German noble family that began in Westphalia, but whose members spread to Livonia and later Lithuania and Poland, with various branches joining the respective Baltic German, Lithuanian and Polish nobilities.
The Platers returned to Catholicism in the 17th century and held high offices in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and achieved magnate status in the 18th century, with six representatives of the family achieveing a seat in the Senate. The basis of the family's importance in Polish Livonia was the uninterrupted holding of the post of starosta in Dyneburg since 1670.
The family was first documented in 1274 with knight Hinricus de Broyle and later in 1392 with Rötger von dem Broel genannt Plater. Their original seat was Broel in County of Mark, hence the family's name was von dem Broel. The part of the family that moved in 15th century to Livonia used the name Plater or the combined name Broel-Plater.
The Plater-Zyberk branch line was founded by Michał Plater-Zyberk, who married Izabela Helena Syberg zu Wischling (1785-1849), daughter of Jan Tadeusz Syberg zu Wischling, the last male representative of the House of Syberg, German uradel noble family also hailing from the County of Mark. In order to save his wife's family name, he adopted her surname and the coat of arms.
The ancestor of the Plater family, which stemmed from Livonia, was Fryderyk Plater (ca. 1465- ca. 1533), who, together with his brother Jan, acquired the Weissensee and Nidritz (Indryca, now Lielindrica) estates in Livonia.
Jan, Fryderyk's son, established a line of the family, which divided into branches of the Weissensee and Könhof (now Keeni) heirlooms. These estates came under Swedish and later Russian rule.
Fryderyk's second son Henryk inherited Nidritz. His son, also Henryk (II), supported the transfer of Livonia to Poland in 1561. His son Henryk (III) from his marriage with Maria von Knorr had three sons: Henryk (IV), Gotard Jan and Jan Wilhelm.
Jan Wilhelm gave rise to the Samogitian line of the family, while Gotard Jan gave rise to the Livonian line.
