The question of gentry and the Lithuanian national project: the example of the newspaper Litwa (1908–1914)At the end of the 19th and beginning of 20th centuries some national movements in the Eastern and Central Europe actualized the question of how to include the gentry into the process of the formation of modern nations. Similar initiatives were taken in Lithuania. During 1908–1914 in Vilnius, a highborn poet and publicist Mečislovas Davainis‑Silvestraitis (Mieczysław Dowojna-Sylwestrowicz, 1849–1919) also edited a periodical Litwa in Polish, which was aimed to welcome gentry into the Lithuanian national movement.Lithuanian and Polish historians who studied the relations between Lithuanian national movement and gentry, in general dealt with two questions, namely: how Polonization of the gentry evolved the issue and why major part of the gentry did not participate in the Lithuanian national movement. Otherwise, the question was the attitude of the ideologists of Lithuanian national movement had towards the gentry at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century in academic works. In this article, after using for research the ideological basement of Litwa that is to welcome gentry to Lithuanian national movement, three questions are studied: the attitude to that question of different Lithuanian parties and political groups during this period, circumstances that caused changes of these attitudes and the role in this process of returning gentry to Lithuanian nation played by the periodical Litwa. Kwestia szlachecka a narodowy projekt litewski: na przykładzie pisma „Litwa” (1908–1914)Pod koniec XIX i na początku XX w. niektóre ruchy narodowe w Europie Środkowej i Wschodniej zajęły się kwestią włączenia się szlachty do procesu kształtowania nowoczesnych narodów. Podobne inicjatywy podjęto na Litwie. W latach 1908–1914 szlachetnie urodzony poeta i publicysta Mieczysław Dowojno-Sylwestrowicz (Mečislovas Davainis- Silvestraitis, 1849–1919) wydawał w języku polskim w Wilnie czasopismo „Litwa”, które dążyło do włączenia szlachty do litewskiego ruchu odrodzenia narodowego.Historycy litewscy i polscy, którzy badali powiązania między litewskim ruchem odrodzenia narodowego a szlachtą, zasadniczo zajmowali się dwiema kwestiami: zagadnieniem polonizacji szlachty i pytaniem, dlaczego większa część szlachty nie uczestniczyła w litewskim ruchu narodowym. Z drugiej strony w opracowaniach naukowych analizowano postawę ideologów litewskiego ruchu odrodzenia narodowego wobec szlachty pod koniec XIX i na początku XX w. W tym artykule, po zbadaniu ideologicznych podstaw pisma „Litwa”, dzięki którym miała się otworzyć droga dla szlachty do udziału w litewskim ruchu odrodzenia narodowego, omówiono trzy zagadnienia: stosunek do tej kwestii różnych partii litewskich i ugrupowań politycznych w omawianym okresie, okoliczności, które spowodowały przemiany tego stosunku, oraz rolę czasopisma „Litwa” w procesie „powrotu szlachty do narodu litewskiego”.

This paper is an attempt, on the basis of an analysis of different kinds of sources (diplomatic, personal, literary and so on), to comprehend the role of the Bohemian Brethren schools in the upbringing and education of the upper classes of the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Margravate of Moravia and, to a lesser extent, of the foreign nobility. After a general introduction, in which the author establishes the growing interest of domestic aristocracy about this denominationally specific type of school in Bohemia and Moravia in the context of the inner development of the Brethren schools, he tracks specific educational institutes of the Unitas Fratrum for which there are records of students from the aristocracy during the sixteenth and first decade of the seventeenth century. Other issues are also dealt with: the content of the study in the schools, the reasons for the choice of a specific school, the composition in terms of the nationality, language, society and confession of the noble pupils, and so on. Last but not least, the study aims to answer the question of how the education of the domestic nobility in the schools of the Unitas Fratrum contributed towards their denominational orientation. In the conclusion of the contribution the author points out some possibilities for further research into this issue.

After 1848, most of the noble privileges were cancelled in the Danube Monarchy and noble titles transformed into a special form of state honour, the character of which was exceptional in its form. Nobilitation ad personam never occurred, because it contradicted Hungarian law. The nobility was the appreciation of merit as such; the title, which in the previous centuries represented an important symbol of the social and power position of the individual and the family, was newly dependent only on the position honoured on the social ladder. In that, the state logically favoured civil servants (officials and officers). A slightly different aristocratic policy was practiced in Austria and Hungary. The extraordinary increase in nobilitations that occurred after the middle of the 19th century and the weakening of the position of the nobility as a result of the changes after 1848 resulted in the closure of the family aristocracy and it further deepened the already deep moat between the old and the new nobility. The failed policy of creation of the elites is one of the causes of the rapid abolition of aristocracy after 1918.

Jan of Rabštejn († approx. 1450), the father of Chancellor Prokop († probably 1470), the humanist Jan (1437–1473) and three other Rabštejn brothers, is identified in the literature with Ješek Rabštejn, who was a member of the town council in Žatec multiple times between 1402 and 1414. The aim of this paper is to provide a critical examination of this repeatedly stated yet never confirmed hypothesis. The author places the examined matter in the broader context of research on the settlement of the nobility in Bohemian towns in the late Middle Ages, observes the genesis of the current interpretation and, based on an analysis of relevant sources, reaches the conclusion that the nobleman Jan of Rabštejn and the Žatec burgher Ješek Rabštejn were very probably two different people.

The history of the Polish parliamentarianism has aroused numerous disputes since long due to many factors, causing difficulties in determining the beginnings of existence of this institution in the former Poland. The basic problem emerged in the distinction of the term “Sejm” (“Polish Parliament”) from the earlier rallies, court veches, local conventions or those covering larger areas of the country, or even all-state conventions, summoned by the particular regional dukes and after the unification of the state by monarchs. The disputes were related to the critical look at the role of Parliament in the history of the state: some glorified it, others expressed their critical view, determined by the historical school which the particular author belonged to. During those disputes, the final form was gained by the Polish Parliament as a bicameral parliament with the king, as one of the states, with the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies in the years 1493–1505.

In connection with the development of research on legislation determining the position of the German aristocracy, its role in administration, society and development of culture, a number of doubts have arisen in Polish science related to the need to transpose the concepts into Polish, but maybe even more, to give them appropriate content and even certain emotional charge. The problem became evident especially in relation to Herrenstand (Herrenkaste, Herrenklasse). Interestingly, despite the historicity of this concept, the European, as well as the German, historiography abandoned the general formulation of „aristocracy”. In fact, it is not only about the state elite, i.e. the nobles, which were common in countries under the influence, let us remember the German and Austrian legal and social cultures. Speech about an independent social stratum that has isolated and emancipated itself over the centuries. The main problem today is the restoration of the original form, as postulated by the author in research that has been carried out for over ten years, and its introduction to the scientific circle in the form of the term „estate of lords”. The main question of the article remains: Could we regard Herrenstand as separate and independent estate of the realm or not? Since there exist many indices of real possibility from the legal perspective, it could be at least very rational and reasonable.

The published text concerns one episode connected with the polish-lithuanian war in 1431. So far it was used on the whole only through a short regest. Thereby we can explore forty five personally known participants of the Lutsk’s expedition, who sent letters of feud to the grand duke of Lithuania Svitrigaila from the military camp in Bystrzyca in 3 July 1431. One of letters, which was written by castellan of Cracow Nicolas of Michalov, is preserved and it is published in the annex.

A contribution to the image of Polish Livonia nobility in the Latvian historical sources and studies of the early Twentieth CenturyPolish literature devoted to the role of the Poles in shaping Latvian culture presents unanimity as far as the positive role and results of this influence are concerned. However diametrically opposite Latvian perspective particularly clear in the first years of the existence of independent Latvia needs to be highlighted here.Contacts between the Latvians and Poles and their cultures differed in different parts of Latvia since the beginning of the Polish presence in this country. The period called ‘the Polish times in Latvia’ in Latvian historical sources lasted the longest in Latgale (1561-1772), i.e. in the so called Polish Livonia. The Polish influence on Latvian folk culture was the strongest there.This period, especially the scale of the influence of Polish culture on Latvian native culture as well as general development of this region, was strongly criticized by numerous Latvian historians.The interest of the Polish noblemen in developing Latgale was subjected to criticism, too. Considering these lands as their own the Poles were not interested in propagating national ideas among local village people who, according to the Polish nobles, were to succumb to complete polonisation.Great influence of the Polish nobility on culture, economy and creating the national identity of the Latgalian Latvians, the policy of the Polish clergy and polonisation of the local people resulted in a negative opinion of the Polish influence in the Latvian lands.The study is an attempt to outline the issue which Polish researchers have not paid attention to so far.

The progenitor of the Woyniłłowiczes’ from Boryszyn ancestral line was Stefan, a son of Iwan Woyniłłowicz. In 1653, one of his three sons, Trojan, bought Boryszyn, which gave the name of this family line. Trojan was a wealthy man – except Boryszyn, he came into possession of much of the part of Niańków (by buying his brothers’ heritage from them), as well as Sieliszcze and Łukonica. Boryszyn was inherited by his son, Jan Teodor. Then, it became part of the inheritance of his grandson, Józef, and a great-grandson, Florian, who suc-ceeded Trojan as the head of the Woyniłłowiczes’ from Boryszyn ancestry line.

The subject of the article are issues related to the composition of the deputies’ chamber during the Piotrków General Sejm operating from 20 January to 12 February 1533. Delegates from the Poznań and Kalisz regional councils were not elected to this Sejm, which resulted in the refusal of some deputies to take part in the Sejm and their departure from Piotrków. The legitimacy and agency of the deputies’ chamber (and hence the parliament) was questioned in a situation in which the law obtained binding force only upon the consent of all voivodships or lands. The article discusses the method of overcoming the crisis (sessions of the deputy chamber of parliament in a limited composition, and then sending the law passed by the parliament to specially convened parliamentary assemblies for lands that did not adopt parliamentary resolutions). On the basis of previously unknown bills for the payment of flat-rate remuneration for the participation in the work of parliament from the resources of the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw, a list of deputies who participated in the work of the truncated Chamber of Deputies was compiled. Two fragments of bills were also issued in the form of an annex, providing information on payments from the Crown Treasury to senators from the Masovian voivodship taking part in the sessions of the Sejm and delegates of the post-Sejm assemblies who brought to Cracow resolutions adopting the constitutions of the Piotrków Sejm.

The article concerns the period of the so-called “golden peace” in Ukraine in the years 1638-1648. The author attempted to analyze the nobility’s interest in the Cossack problem during the indicated period. He tried to respond to a question to what extent the noble elite perceived the problem of the Cossacks and what was the most important thing in noblemen’s statements. Analyzing the parliamentary sources and correspondence, the author came to the conclusion that the main message of the leaders of public opinion was to put a curb on the Cossacks and to loosen it by turns. This position was due to downplaying the problems that were growing in Ukraine.

There is a growing demand amongst historians for an increasing number of studies (amongst them genealogical ones) about Ruthenian noble families in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. One of such families was the Woyniłłowicz family, coming from Hospodar’s nobility, who settled at the end of the 15th century near Nowogródek. In the second half of the 16th century the family had already grown – at that time the lands of Klukowicze and Niańków were in their possession. From this period came one of the most distinguished figures in the family, who gave rise to several Woyniłłowicz’s ancestral lines, which continued throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

The second part of the study presents an overview of existing historiography on the nobility, especially in the field of cultural history. the main research directions and trends are shown here and the problem of the long-dominating orientation of the historians on the period of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century are also presented. The third part is a critical overview of the sources of the cultural history of the nobility, and especially the sources of a personal nature. In the final, fourth section, the author discusses the possibilities of further research.

Dealing with the nobility’s relationship with their non-royal towns and townlets in the pre-Hussite period is often difficult due to the lack of written sources. Therefore, it is also necessary to use information on the development of localities, which provides a breakdown of their spatial layout, art history and archaeology. Determining a locality’s state of developmental in a certain period is often difficult. This paper outlines the development of non-royal market localities in the Jihlava region and their relationship with their aristocratic owners in the aforementioned period.

The article provides an overview of the recent book written by the German historian Sven Jaros which examines the history of the political process, local elites, and the documentary culture in Halych Rus’ (Red Ruthenia) during the period of the 1340s – 1430s. The book offers a new interpretation of the power relations and the formation of the local elites in the region with a focus on the detailed analysis of the charters issued by the rulers from the Piast, Anjou, and Jagiellon dynasties, as well as by their governors for the local noblemen, townsmen, and commoners. In his analysis Jaros discusses the composition of the groups of the recipients of charters according to their ethnic, social, and geographic origin. The analysis continues with an examination of the mobility of the rulers, governors, and recipients. It seeks to trace the connections between the geographies of the issue of a charter, the property granted, and the residence of the recipients. The book contains short excursions on the beginnings of the Latin Church and the state of the Orthodox Churches in Crown Rus’ under the rule of Casimir III, the Great, as well as on the practices of cura animarum in the region. Jaros concludes that the continuity and changes in the forms of local political communication and the political order, as reflected in the rulers’ charters for Crown Rus’, determined the political and institutional space for the formation of the local nobility as a supra-ethnic and supra-confessional community. The second part of the book consists of a register (repertorium) of all known charters and their deperdita issued for the region’s recipients by the rulers and their governors during the given period. The register is accompanied by observations on the main characteristics of the available corpus of diplomas and charters for the history of Galicia, which highlights the institutional means of their preservation, the correlation between the surviving originals and copies, the mentions of lost documents, etc. The review also offers alternative explanations of some problems raised in the book, such as how some local knightly clans were formed, or the nature of military service and property rights in the lands of Halych Rus’ and its relations to the written documents issued to confirm such rights.

This essay uses five new Polish-language books popularising the ‘people’s’ history perspective as a jumping-off point to discuss distortions in the historical imagination. At the centre is the issue of the peasantry. In some national mythologies, the peasants or the ‘people’ serve as the heart of the nation. In the Polish case, this has been the role of the nobility or szlachta and as a result the peasants are often forgotten or skipped over in popular historical narratives. These new books represent a sea change in historical imagination, not for the academy, but for the broader public.

This paper comprises a brief, annotated edition of documents that are housed in the Archiwum Państwowe in Wrocław and are connected with a long-running dispute over the demarcation of the border due to the destruction of woods and burning of lime. The whole conflict was brought to an end by a commission appointed for such purpose by the emperor. This case is even more interesting due to the fact that it was not only a dispute between two neighbouring estates, as was usually the case, but also a dispute at the provincial level, between the governor (hejtman) of Kladsko and a Bohemian nobleman.
