==History== thumb|left|Death of King Przemysł II in Rogoźno, 19th-century painting by [[Jan Matejko]] Rogoźno dates back to a Lechitic (proto-Polish) stronghold from the 8th and 9th centuries. Its name is of Medieval Old Polish origin, and comes from the word rogoża, a type of plant. The oldest known mention comes from 1192. From the mid-12th century it was a seat of a castellan. In 1280 it was granted town rights by Przemysł II. King Przemysł II of Poland was murdered in or near Rogoźno in 1296. According to one tradition he was kidnapped while staying at the town, but was so badly wounded in the process that he was unable to continue the journey, and was killed by his captors at Sierniki a few miles to the east. Rogoźno was a royal town of Poland, administratively located in the Poznań County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.
