The text constitutes an answer to the polemical article of Sobieslaw Szybkowski, included in vol. 76 of Zapiski Historyczne, 2011, book 2, pp. 95–108, titled Misja Benedyktyna Makraia w nowym ujęciu [The mission of Benedict de Makrai in a new perspective]. According to the author, Szybkowski chose a relatively selective way to criticize the work reviewed by him. He does not refer to: the new evaluation of the effectiveness of Benedict de Makrai’s mission presented there; the chronology of the journey through Poland, the Teutonic State, Masovia and Pomerania; and the reconstruction of the essence of conflicts which very often concerned judicial and border issues. The author refutes some of the accusation made by S. Szybkowski, which he considers not understandable and which prove that the analysis of the content used to prepare historical studies or registers was not sufficiently detailed. S. Szybkowski offered a different judgement of many issues connected with the mission of Benedict de Makrai in the years 1412–1413. The author, respecting the reviewer’s right to interpret the substance of the processes differently, maintains his critical standpoint in reference to the evaluation of the policy of the Teutonic Order in connection with Masovian duchies, the role of Eric of Pomerania in the trial, or the scope of the review of the procedure of the international amicable trial.
