The Polish students registered in the German and Swiss Protestant universities were the sons of the Polish aristocracy and the well-to-do Polish gentry.[246] At Altdorf, for instance, we find the sons of such Calvinistic aristocratic families as the Firleys, the Ostrorogs, the Naruszewiczes, the Wollowiczes, the Lanckorońskis, the Wiśniowieckis, the Krotowskis, and the Sienieńskis; of the Calvinistic well-to-do gentry, namely, the Gołuchowskis, the Reys, the Przecławskis, the Lipskis, the Czernows, the Grochowskis, the Balls, the Boguszes, the Zielińskis, the Ossolińskis, the Przyjemskis, the Pieniążeks, and the Suchorabskis; and later, with the beginning of the seventeenth century, of such Arian noble families as the Przypkowskis, the Stoyeńskis, the Lubienieckis, the Otwinowskis, the Filipowskis, the Dudyczes, the Hoyskis, the Niemieryczes, the Taszyckis, the Morsztyns, the Szlichtyngs, and even the Radziwills.[247] At Herborn, in the years 1611-1619, there were the Ostrorogs, the Gołuchowskis, the Drohojewskis, and the Rożyckis. These, too, were sons of Calvinistic families.[248] At Marburg, in the years 1601-1620, we find representatives of the Lithuanian Calvinistic szlachta from around Słuck and Kieydany, the Swięcickis, the Rekuckis, the Ceraskis, the Estkos, the Kozdryns, and the sons of Calvinistic pastors, the Wannowskis, Krosniewieckis, and the Molesons.[249] At Wittenberg, Leipzig, and Frankfort on the Oder there were to be found the sons of the powerful aristocratic families, the Mniszeks, the Ostrorogs, the Lanckorońskis, the Myszkowskis, the Radziwills, and the Przyłęckis.[250] Finally, at Basel we find in the years 1549-1570 representatives of the best and most influential Polish families. From Great Poland there were the sons of the Zbąskis, the Ostrorogs, the Rozrażewskis, the Nadarzyckis, the Łasickis, and of the Woynowskis; from Little Poland, the Myszkowskis, the Dłuskis, the Gnoyeńskis, the Lipnickis, the Ossolińskis, the Czyzowskis, the Pieniążeks, and of the Słupeckis; from Mazovia, Iłowski; from Lithuania, Skumina, Tyszkiewicz, Kiszka; from Kuyavia, Zebrzydowski; from the district of Sieradz, the Lutomirskis, Zalewski, Kotkowski, Paklepka; from the eastern provinces, Drohoyowski, Strzelecki, Drzewińiski, Strzechowski, and Uhrowiecki.[251] All these names found on the register of the University of Basel are well known in connection with the Reformation movement in Poland. The bearers of them played prominent rôles in Polish politics and in the spread of the Calvinistic and later of the Arian faith in their native land.[252]
