Remigiusz Koniecpolski (died 1640) was a Polish noble and bishop of Cheà Âm (1627âÂÂ1640).
He was likely born in Koniecpol, where the manor of the Koniecpolski magnate family was located. He was the son of Aleksander Koniecpolski, and a brother of the famous military commander (hetman), Stanisà Âaw Koniecpolski.
He became a priest. As the abbot of the Cistercian monastery in JÃÂdrzejów he began the process of canonization of blessed Wincenty Kadà Âubek. Reputed to be an efficient administrator, gathering funds for both the Church and the local municipalities, he was elevated to the position of bishop of Cheà Âm on 17 May 1627. From that point onward, as the position of a bishop granted him a rank in the Senate of Poland, he became involved in the PolishâÂÂLithuanian Commonwealth country-wide matters, and his diocese was administered by one of his assistants, Jan Sasin. He also held the royal court position of the Royal Secretary.
He died in October 1640.
