The article describes activities of Stanisław Goczałkowski, coat of arms Poraj (d. 1787/88) that were performed in favor of Jan Klemens Branicki, Hetman and Castellan of Kraków. It presents the liege - liegeman relation through over 10 years (1760–1771). Goczałkowski is not widely known in the literature, with the exception of his activities during the initial period of the Confederation of Bar (1768–1772) in Kraków and the Kraków province. Goczałkowski came from a rather not wealthy nobility of Wielkopolska. His service started in 1760 at the court of Jan Klemens Branicki, one of the most powerful lords of Poland what gave him a chance for social advancement and wealth. Year 1762 influenced the relations between Goczałkowski and Branicki and bound Goczałkowski for life with the province of Kraków. Goczałkowski represented the hetman while conclusion of a compromise with Józef Stadnicki, tenant of Branicki’s ancestral lands of Branice and Ruszcza near Kraków. It was an extremely active period in his life and from that time survived the most of his letters to Branicki. They contained details on matters of legal and property-related economic issues and dispute and a number of things and people associated with Jan Klemens Branicki. After the conclusion of compromise with Stadnicki, Goczałkowski became the tenant of Branice and Ruszcza. Soon it led to a deterioration of his relations with Branicki. Moreover, on behalf of Branicki Goczałkowski managed goods of Kraków castellany, as Castellan of Kraków. For this reason he used a title of burgrave of Myślenice. Until the death of Branicki (d. 1771) Goczałkowski took care of issues in his favor of a personal and public nature. Additionally, after the death of Branicki Goczałkowski entered in the legal and financial dispute with his wife Izabela Branicka. Despite this, he remained with her in lively contacts till the end of his life.
Zagadnienie początków miasta klasztornego Wąchocka obecne jest w polskiej historiografii od lat 30. XX w. Wciąż nie rozstrzygnięto jednak wszystkich wątpliwości związanych z lokacją miasta, zwłaszcza w relacji klasztor/pan feudalny, a procesy osadnicze zachodzące w bezpośrednim jego sąsiedztwie, które doprowadziły ostatecznie do lokacji miejskiej i faktycznego powstania organizmu miejskiego. W tekście przedstawiono dotychczasowe interpretacje źródeł pisanych związanych z lokacją wsi i miast w dobrach cystersów z Wąchocka na tle ich ogólnego rozwoju gospodarczego, wskazano na te fakty, które mogły wpływać stymulująco bądź hamująco na osadnictwo i zagospodarowanie tychże dóbr oraz postawiono uzasadnioną źródłowo hipotezę, iż nie da się datować faktycznych początków miasta Wąchocka wcześniej jak I poł XV w. Tekst jest przyczynkiem do trwającej od lat dyskusji nad powszechnym w tej części Europy zjawiskiem małych i średnich miast w krajobrazie gospodarczym średniowiecza, i okresu wczesnonowożytnego.

The question of the beginnings of the monastery town of Wąchock has been pre-sent in Polish historiography since the 1930s. All the doubts concerning the location of the town have not been settled yet, especially those connected with the relation monastery/feudal master and the settlement processes in its direct vicinity, which led to town location and the development of the urban organism. The text presents the existing interpretations of the written sources connected with the location of villages and towns in Cistercian domains on the background of their general economic devel-opment and points out the facts which could have stimulated or inhibited settlement and land use. It also poses a hypothesis, well grounded in sources, that the actual beginnings of Wąchock cannot be dated earlier than the first half of the 15th century. The text constitutes a contribution to a long lasting discussion about a widespread phenomenon in this part of Europe of small and average sized towns in the economic landscape of the Middle Ages and the early modern period.
