Gniewosz z Dalewic (died after 1410; lit. Gniewosz of Dalewice) of a family using Kościesza Coat of Arms was a Polish knight and a courtier of King Władysław Jagiełło and Queen Jadwiga of Poland. A Chamberlain of Kraków, along with Władysław Opolczyk, he was the main partisan of William of Austria (orignally betrothed to Jadwiga), and opposed Jadwiga's marriage to Jagiełło. After it eventually happened in 1378, he tried to prevent it from being consummated. However, as soon as Jadwiga turned 12, Jagiełło reached Kraków and the marriage became valid. Gniewosz started an intrigue and spread gossip that, despite the marriage, Jadwiga was having an affair with William. Tried for his words by a Sejm tribunal in Wiślica, Gniewosz was sentenced to barking-off of his lies. The penalty, common in mediaeval Poland, forced Gniewosz to publicly prone under the table and announce that what I told about the queen was a dogly lie and bark several times.
