The brief asked for these kindreds to be checked.
They belong to the body of Kraków and Sandomierz lords who make and unmake dukes, but none of them can be pinned to a named member, office or estate on 1 January 1200 from the sources available here. The GM should treat any name for them in 1200 as his own.
