Abstrakty

In this article the author evaluates and completes the monograph of Wiesław Sieradzan concerning the mission of Benedict Makrai in the years 1412–1413, who acted in the international conciliatory trial between Poland – Lithuania and the Teutonic State, in which the mediator was Roman and Hungarian King Sigismund of Luxembourg. The monograph would be more comprehensive if it contained chapters devoted to international conciliatory trials and the Polish-Lithuanian and the Teutonic intellectual background during the conduct of Benedict. It seems that the problem concerning the social background of Makrai’s family can be defined. The careers of his closest family members indicate that the owners of Gacsalkéri, from whom Makrai came, belonged at most to the more affluent Hungarian gentry. The monograph of Sieradzan fails to include some episodes concerning the Polish and Teutonic diplomatic contacts soon after the war of 1409–1411 ( the convention in Murzynno/ Grabie). Moreover, some persons involved in Benedict’s mission could be better identified. Another issue which should have been presented in a clearer manner is the origin of claims of West-Pomeranian dukes to Eastern Pomerania (the Kamień treaty of 1264 and the Słupsk treaty of 1287).
