Three Parish Priests in One Parish. A Study on the Clergy in the Medieval Chrzanów

Dorota Lisowicz‑Żurek

Abstract

The article deals with the history of clergy in a small medieval town. The history of the parish in Chrzanów is particularly interesting due to the fact that the presbytery was governed by three people. The author makes an attempt to find the reason for such status quo, which to a large extent is the remnant of the canonic group that functioned there before. Drawing from the primary sources the article presents representatives of clergy in Chrzanów; however, little is known about their social as well as territorial background. The author also tries to gather facts as to the duration in which the parish governed by three parish priests functions that way. Particularly interesting issues concern their common accommodation and the division of the estate among the clergy, as well as their collective responsibility for the parish. Moreover, the author brings into focus issues concerning the time and reason for ending the practise of the three parish priests services. The article contains two tables depicting data as to the parish priests, assistant curates, clerical students and prebendaries in the medieval town of Chrzanów, whose names are mentioned in the sources.
