Stanisław Orzechowski, also Stanislas Orzechowski and Stanislaus Orzechowski (1513–1566) was a Ruthenian and Polish political writer. The son of a Catholic father and an Orthodox mother, he was a strict Roman Catholic for much of his life but at one stage, probably the 1540s, he appeared to have turned to Protestantism, which he later detracted from. He was highly critical of Protestant reformer Francesco Stancaro and authored a critique of him in around 1550, by which time he had turned his back on the Protestants. He is considered to be an early champion of Polish nationalism and in his writings often defended the Golden Liberty and privileges of the Polish nobility.

Biography

Born in Galicia. He was born in 1513 in the village Orikhivtsi (Przemyśl Land of the Ruthenian Voivodeship) in the family of a Ruthenian Catholic nobleman, Stanislav Orikhovsky (Orzechowski), a courtier at the court of King Jan I Olbracht. Later Stanislav Orikhovsky became a clerk of the Przemysl land. The mother is a noblewoman, Yadviga Baranetska, the daughter of an Orthodox priest. According to the researchers, he could have up to 12 siblings.

His father decided that in his life Stanislav had to become a priest. At the age of 12, his father "arranged" him for the post of Przemysl canon.
