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.

Marcus Jastrow (June 5, 1829 – October 13, 1903), a renowned Talmudic scholar, was born in Rogasen in the Grand Duchy of Posen.[1]
