The Yazlovetskis is the family of
nobility of the arms " Abdank". Together with their relatives Buchatski they
were the first Polish colonizators of 
Podillia. The
family got it's name from the town Yazlovets near Letichiv. The first "didich"
of Yazlovets in the middle of XVth century was Theodor Buchatskiy, the Head of Kamenets. His son Mikhal, the governor of Podillia, was
killed in the battle with tatars in 1438. The same was the destiny of another
representative of the family - Bartolomey Buchatskiy, who was the Head of Podillia. At the
beginning of XVIth century the family of Buchatski was on the decline and the town of
Yazlovets became the property of Mikola Siniavskiy and later on - of Yazlovetskiy. Ezi
Yazlovetskiy was the fifth great crown hetman of Rich Pospolita who became famous after
the battles with tatars. They were in 1528 near Kamenets and next year near
Ochakiv. Up to the last days of his life Yazlovetskiy was the
defender of steppe borders. For many years he was the owner of the territories of the Head
of Kamenets and he also was the governor of Podillia. In 1564 Ezi went to Istanbul to
sultan Suleiman Kanuni (Pomp) with diplomatic mission. Ezi Yazlovetskiy had four sons and
nearly all of them followed their father. Mikhal Yazlovetskiy became the Hmelnik Head at the end of XVIth century; Mikolay
Yazlovetskiy succeeded at some military actions on the Polish-Moldavian border and was
granted the privilege on some Podolian towns. The Yazlovetskis, like real "border
barons", often worked together with Ukrainian Cossacks. The youngest son of Ezi
Yazlovetskiy - the governor of Podillia, Ieronim - became famous due to his military
skillfulness. The contemporaries compared him with the prince of Ancient Rus - Sviatoslav.
They said, that battles were just for fun for him, his home was a string of carts, his
armchair was his horse, his hauberk was his clothes. After the death of Ieronim
Yazlovetskiy in 1607 the family didn't exist any more.
