The oldest mention of Kiedrzyn comes from the period when the village was a royal property, located in a noble tenure. In 1398 the tenant of Kiedrzyn was Pietrasz Stroszocic (Stroszoczicz, son of Strasz). Kiedrzyn Jan Długosz recorded as a royal village in Liber beneficiorum dioecesis Cracoviensis.Słownik geograficzny Królestwa Polskiego i innych krajów słowiańskich, t. IV, hasło: „Kiedrzyn”, (nakł.)

In 1547, Zygmunt Stary allowed Gabriel Zaborowski to buy the village of Kiedrzyn from his brothers Marian, Piotr, Sebastian and Szymon Kiedrzyński and gave him the village for life.

In the years 1549-51, Marian and Piotr Kiedrzyński from Kiedrzyn and Wola Wierzchowska (today Wola Kiedrzyńska) sued Wojciech, provincial of the Częstochowa monastery, for not returning Kiedrzyński's peasant Maciej Kępa, who had escaped from Kiedrzyn to Szarlejka.
