Ancestry
Anna Komorowska's family, the Komorowskis, were members of the Polish aristocracy. The Komorowski family traces it roots to Dymitr Komorowski (c. 1340-?) and uses the Korczak coat of arms. Piotr Komorowski, was appointed “Count of Liptov and Orava”, in 1469 by King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary. After the expiry of his descendants, the title "Count of Liptov and Orava" was used by Piotr’s brother Mikolaj Komorowski and his descendants. One of them, Jakub Komorowski (d. 1781) obtained the title of Count from King Stanisław August Poniatowski in 1780, a title held by subsequent generations of the Komorowski family.
Anna Komorowska's mother, Princess Zofia Sapieha, came from the Kodeńscy line of the Sapieha family, an illustrious Polish princely family.
