Coat of arms

Mikołaj Wulkowski (d. 1509) was the voivode of the Pomeranian Voivodeship until his death in 1509.[1] He had ties to Nicholas Copernicus through Copernicus' uncle, Lucas Watzenrode, the bishop of Warmia.[2] Wulkowski's family claimed the Chomąto [pl] arms and owned the medieval village of Wulkow, near modern Tczew.[2]

Prior to becoming voivode, Wulkowski was listed as the standard-bearer of Gdańsk.[3] In 1485, as voivode of Pomerania, Wulkowski participated in a series of assemblies to determine whether to send troops to Lviv amid Ottoman threats.[4] According to his correspondence, plague disrupted assemblies of the Royal Prussian estates in the 1490s.[5]
