Marcin Białobrzeski (1530-1586)[1] was a 16th-century Polish bishop, bibliophile, author, theologian, and preacher, born in 1530 in Białobrzegi (now Tomaszów Mazowiecki) into the Abdank noble family.[2][3] He took religious vows in the Cistercian Monastery of Sulejów and was educated at the expense of the monastery in the Krakow Academy of Literature.[4][5][6][7]
He was a relative of Andrzej Spot, after whose death in 1559, Białobrzeski was elected as an abbot, and in 1565 as an assistant at Krakow. On April 3, 1566, Bialobrzeski was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Krakow, Poland, and Titular Bishop of Laodicea in Phrygia. In 1571, he joined the cathedral chapter. On July 19, 1577, Bialobrzeski was appointed Bishop of Kamyanets-Podilskyi (Kamieniec), Ukraine.
He was active in the Catholic Church. He was a representative of the clergy in 1573 at the Sejm and, after the coronation of Henry of Valois as King of Poland on February 13, 1574, Białobrzeski delivered an oration at the funeral of Sigismund August. After the escape of Henry Valois from Poland, he sided with the Habsburgs. In March 1576, Białobrzeski went with Krzysztof Lanckoroński to Vienna to an embassy of Emperor Maximilian to tell him about the newly elected King, Stefan Bathory. On April 7, 1576, he greeted Stefan Batory at Mogiła Abbey. Shortly afterward, Białobrzeski was stationed in Kamieniec-Podolsk. Along with Łukasz Podolski, a canon of Kraków Cathedral, he participated in the 1557 Synod, Northern Poland, and a year later the one in Jędrzejów.
In 1580, Białobrzeski went to Rome on a diplomatic mission and he served as the King's representative at the funeral of his brother, Christopher Báthory. In 1585 Sejm, he was an opponent of the Samuel Zborowski's side. Marcin Białobrzeski died on April 19, 1586, in Kraków, where he was also buried.
