Biography edit

Gamrat was born in Samoklęski near Jasło, Poland. Early in his career, Gamrat was the royal secretary to Sigismund I the Old. Gamrat was bishop of Kamieniec since 1531, of Przemyśl since 1535, of Kraków since 1538 and simultaneously Archbishop of Gniezno since 1541.[1] From 1540 until 1545 Marcin Kromer was Gamrat's secretary.[citation needed]

Gamrat actively fought the influence of the Protestant Reformation. He contributed to the development of sermons, reformed religious education in Poland, and reformed the local administration of the Catholic Churches.[1] In addition to his activity in the dioceses, he led a secular lifestyle[2] and participated in the political life of the state.[1]
