The House of Dzieduszycki (plural: Dzieduszyccy, feminine form: Dzieduszycka) is an old Ruthenian and later Polish noble family first recorded in 1400. Members of the family held the title of Count, awarded to them on 22 October 1776. The title was heritable by all legitimate male-line descendants.

History The family originated in Ruthenian domain of the Polish Crown, which in 1434 was absorbed into Kingdom of Poland as Ruthenian Voivodeship. Progenitor of the family was Ivan (Ivashko) Didushytsky, who was first mentioned in 1411 as Iwasko Dzyadoschiczki in a charter from prince Fedir Liubartovych.

Didushytsky originally were Ruthenian boyars of Orthodox faith, but starting from 17th century they had converted into Greek Catholicism and later with the subsequent Polonization into Roman Catholicism. Their ancestral estate was Didushychi (now Velyki Didushychi in Lviv Oblast, Ukraine).
