Although the interest in the history of medieval Mazowsze increased, the issue is still neglected. The paper concerns not only political and economic history of Mazowsze but also issues concerning its diplomacy. The author analyses two Siemowit IV’s diplomas for Stanisław Grad from Szreńsk coat of arms: Dołęga, a voivoid of Mazowsze, one of the closest advisors of Siemowit IV and his sons. The first document (7 September 1383) is the kings confirmation of an appointment of Szreńsk to Stanisław Grad in Zawkrze with appointing the market settlement jurisdiction of Chełm. The text of the analysed document was preserved in original in the Library of Academy of Sciences in Wilno. The second of the described documents is the privilege of Siemowit IV for Szreńsk to collect duty in this city and free its inhabitants of that private city from paying duties in prince’s province. The diploma was preserved until our times only in a copy which has the wrong annual date: 1397. Under such date the document was published in diplomatic code of Duchy of Mazowsze. So far the literature on the subject could not account for the contradictions between the date of the issue of the diploma and the context of historical events. The prince could not issue this document in 1397 for Szreńsk (deposited with all the Zawkrze Land as a security to the Teutonic Knights in 1384-1399) as it came into conflict with the interest of the Order. As a result of a detailed historical and dyplomatic analysis the author of this paper (inter alia to the dates and witnesses) suggested 7 September 1384 as a proper date of the issue of the diploma. The date precedes the depositing Zawkrze Land as a security to the Teutonic Knights by Siemowit IV, which took place in November of 1384. The article apart from a detailed diplomatic analysis of the discussed documents in the view of the political relationships (between Mazowsze - the Kingdom of Poland - the Teutonic Knights) also provides interesting facts concerning biography of Stanisław Grad. The important supplement of the article is a critical publication of the discussed documents.
