In 1346, the brothers Otto, Sweydiger and Kilian von Haugvic settled in Biskupice, Silesia, who  are the founders of the new dynastic Haugvic family from Biskupice, which continued to function completely independently and became the most important Haugvic faction in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia from 1494 to 1668.
