Piotr of Klecie also known as Piotr of Goraj, was a 14th-century knight and courtier in Poland. When he moved to the court of Casimir the Great, he established powerful noble family that would influence both state and church politics in Poland for the next two centuries.
Born about 1320 Piotr was the son of Gus of Goraj the Lord of Goraj. Piotr had a son Dymitr, to whom King Louis I of Hungary gave the villages of Goraj, and Turobin on 26 July 1377. Peter also had a son, Iwonia. In 1353, with his brothers Chodek and Ostaszek, Peter received from King Casimir III the Great a dozen villages including: Klecie, Czermno, Januszkowice, Glinik, and Bukowa, SmarÃ
¼owa, and Kamienica Górna and SkurowÃÂ.
