The Among the documents preserved in the local archive (Archiwum Państwowe we Wrocławiu) within the collection of deeds issued by municipal and local government, list of assessors of The Feudal Court (Hof oder Mannengericht) from 1380 till 1611 can be found. The interconnection of this institution bound to the „Hauptmann“ of Wrocław office with interests, aspirations and activities of representatives of “governing elites” of Wrocław townsmen is obvious even from a cursory glance at the constitution of the boards. Selected townsmen were members of the tribunal every year throughout its existence. The possibility to compare the lists of townsmen participating in the above mentioned Board on the Court level and lists of councillors and assessors of Wrocław preserved for years 1287–1744 enables the study of involvement of the most influential townsmen families in both the institutions, both fields of administration. Thus the comparison of representation of individual families in the bodies governing municipal government and in the feudal institution may uncover the methods Wrocław elite used to maintain their influential position within the urban community. The following lines should contribute to such considerations. Based on the analysis and comparison of both the lists we will attempt to evaluate the benefits of such sources for monitoring the mechanisms of the creation and preservation of governing elites and their strategies. The thorough analysis of the list of assessors of The Feudal Court will be complemented with the comparison of representation of selected Wrocław townsmen families, which, based on the previous research, could be considered part of the governing elites or council patriciate, in the bodies of municipal government according to the preserved as well as edited lists of councillors and assessors. The time interval of the research is determined by the extent of the first mentioned source, i.e. list called „Hof oder Mannengericht“ including years 1380–1611. The comparison of changing or repeating names of the representatives of individual families in both the mentioned lists will become the basis for considerations concerning mechanisms used for genesis and strengthening the elites and not only on municipal institutional level.

The emergence of nation states in Europe is associated in contemporary historiography with the French Revolution and the development of national movements in the 19th century. The author draws attention to an earlier phase of the formation of nation states, which was related to the power-political crisis of the Holy Roman Empire in the second half of the 15th century. The medieval Empire crossed the boundaries of three major language groups that were mutually unintelligible (Germanic, Romance and Slavic languages). At the time of the creation of the Estates’ monarchies at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries, the question of linguistic identity became an important state-forming element.

Despite a number of particular studies, the Renaissance epitaph remains a largely undervalued source. Art historians study it solely as a “work of art,” while historians tend to use it as a source of purely factual data (heraldic, epigraphic, genealogical, prosopographic etc.). However, from the wider, cultural-historical or historicalanthropological perspective, it is necessary for both disciplines to realize the specific value of the epitaph as a sepulchral monument, the goal of which was to construct the identity of the “social body” of the deceased. The specific conceptual character of the epitaph thus offers a possibility to study it as a complex medium (source) reflecting cultural codes of dying, death, remembering and salvation (which is especially interesting in the context of Europe divided by different denominations), but also as a pure phenomenon that took part in forming the death discourse of the period.

The text was inspired by reviews of the book: Marek Wrede, Itinerarium króla Zygmunta III 1587–1632, Warsaw 2019, published in Studia Geohistorica, 9, 2021 (Magdalena Jakubowska) and Studia Źródłoznawcze, 59, 2021 (Karol Łopatecki). It takes up some of the problems raised by their authors (e.g. it corrects a part of the route of King Sigismund III’s voyage to Sweden in 1598, providing a chronology and map of the journey). Above all, however, it is a voice in favour of undertaking institutionalised research into the itineraries of the kings of the Commonwealth from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Signalling the problem, it presents the current state of such studies and attempts to formulate preliminary conditions for undertaking team studies into royal itineraries.

Tekst zainspirowany został recenzjami książki: Marek Wrede, Itinerarium króla Zygmunta III 1587–1632, Warszawa 2019, opublikowanymi w „Studia Geohistorica”, 9, 2021 (Magdalena Jakubowska) i „Studiach Źródłoznawczych”, 59, 2021 (Karol Łopatecki). Podejmuje niektóre poruszone w nich problemy (m.in. koryguje przebieg fragmentu trasy rejsu Zygmunta III do Szwecji w 1598 r., podając kalendarium i mapę rejsu). Przede wszystkim jednak jest głosem na rzecz podjęcia zinstytucjonalizowanych badań nad itinerariami królów Rzeczypospolitej XVI–XVIII w. Sygnalizując problem, przedstawia obecny stan takich studiów i podejmuje próbę sformułowania wstępnych warunków podjęcia zespołowych prac itineraryjnych.
