DLUGOSZ, JAN [JOHANNES LONGINUS] (1415-1480), Polish statesman and historian, was the son of Jan Dlugosz, burgrave of Bozeznica.
Dlugosz brought Olesnicki the red hat from Rome in 1449, and shortly afterwards was despatched to Hungary to mediate between Hunyadi and the Bohemian condottiere Giszkra, a difficult mission which he most successfully accomplished.
Dlugosz refused the archbishopric of Prague because of his strong dislike of the land of the Hussites; but seven years later he accepted the archbishopric of Lemberg.

Unlike Oleshnicki, however, Dlugosz had from the start supported King Casimir IV in his Prussian policy, assisting him in the negotiations with the Teutonic Order before and during the Thirteen Years' War (1454-66) and at the peace negotiations.

Among the most esteemed 'graduates' of chancelleries were Jan Dlugosz, Martin Kromer and Jan Zamoyski.

Dlugosz asserted that Poland alone saved Lithuania from the crossbearers, that the victory of Tannenberg was only a Polish deed.
The acts of 1385 -1413 were interpreted by Dlugosz as the incorporation of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania into the Kingdom of Poland; the Lithuanian struggle for autonomy, as simply a revolt and a violation of Polish rights.

These reforms were largely directed against John Wyclif, mentioned in the opening session, and condemned in the eighth, May 4, 1415 and Jan Hus, and their followers.
Jan Hus, summoned to Constance under a letter of indemnity, was condemned by council and burned at the stake notwithstanding on July 6, 1415.
It would be a mistake to assume that Wycliffe's doctrine of the Church – which made so great an impression upon Jan Hus, who adopted it literally and fully – was occasioned by the western schism (1378–1429).

Canon Jan Dlugosz, protege of the famous Zbigniew Olesnicki, Bishop of Cracow, and tutor to the children of King Casimir Jagiellonczyk, was a well known historian, politician, and scholar of the fifteenth century.
Other Polish historians mention that Dlugosz collected every rag tail of gossip he could find, and he certainly was not an unbiased source.
Both historian and biographer, Dlugosz never loses his audience in the thickets of confusion over who is who (at any given time there seem to have been at least three Ladislauses running amuck).
