Piotr Łabędzi (died 19, 20 or 21 August 1198) was a Catholic Bishop of Poznań and Archbishop of Gniezno. He was commonly mistaken for his predecessor, the Blessed Bogumił (as Bogumił-Piotr), but recent studies classify them as two different people.[1] Łabędzi most likely came from the powerful Łabędzi family. Nothing is known about his life before consecration. A few years after becoming bishop, he was promoted to Archbishop of Gniezno.[2] [3]
