Edmund Matejko

Edmund Marcin Matejko, also known as Zygmunt Matejko (12 November 1829 – 2 July 1907), was a Polish insurgent, agronomist and teacher. He was participant in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 and the January Uprising, tenant of landed estates (including Bieńczyce), and teacher at an agricultural school in Czernichów. He was the older brother of the painter Jan Matejko and the younger brother of the librarian and Slavic historian Franciszek Matejko.

He was a graduate of the St. Anna's High School and studied at the Jagiellonian University for several years. During the Spring of Nations, he was involved in conspiratorial activities and, fearing arrest, moved to Hungary, where he took part in battles against the Austrian army. After their conclusion, he returned to Galicia, where he was arrested but managed to escape and go into exile – first to Greater Poland, then to France. He returned to Polish lands in the late 1850s and participated in the January Uprising. After its conclusion, he focused on managing landed estates.
