Councillors in Krakow and their families in the death register kept by Saint Mary's Confraternity in Krakow (mid‑14th—end of 16th century)

Jerzy Rajman

Abstract

The article shows the relationships of the Krakow town councillors with the confraternity in Saint Mary’s church. Formed around the mid‑14th century, it was the oldest and the most important one among the confraternities in the medieval Krakow. The source basis of the article is the death register of the Confraternity, published in print by Józef Mitkowski. It includes 1281 names and discloses a lot of genealogical information on the town councillors and bourgeoisie. The author describes all the councillors mentioned in the register and analyses the mentions referring to the people who were probably their relatives. He concludes that in the studied period, i.e. from the mid‑14th to the end of the 16th century, the per cent of councillors belonging to the Confraternity was 36.5%. Family members of the Krakow councillors account for 15% of all the names entered in the register. The author postulates further research on the personal composition of the confraternities in Krakow.
