Leonard Borejko Chodźko (1800–1871) was a Polish historian, geographer, cartographer, publisher, archivist, and activist of Poland's post-November-1830-Uprising Great Emigration.

Life

He was born on November 6, 1800, in Oborek, as the son of the nobleman Ludwik Chodźko [pl] and Waleria née Dederko. Chodźko was educated at the University of Vilnius, where he was a member of the Philomaths, a secret organization established in 1816 by Vilnius University students including Adam Mickiewicz, Tomasz Zan and Józef Jeżowski.

From 1826 he lived in Paris. During France's July 1830 Revolution, he served as aide-de-camp to General La Fayette.

Around 1810, he married Olimpia Maleszewska, the daughter of the Polish economist Piotr Maleszewski [pl], who in turn was the natural son of Michał Jerzy Poniatowski, the Primate of Poland and the brother of King Stanisław August Poniatowski. Olimpia's mother was Jeanne Venture de Paradis, known as "the Egyptian," the daughter of the French orientalist Jean Michel de Venture de Paradis. Leonard and Olimpia had no offspring.
