The last wills of people from the marginalised strata of society in the old Rzeczpospolita did not constitute a frequent phenomenon; even less frequent were last wills made by beggars. So far no evidence has been found of a beggar who owned any real estate. For this reason, the case of Jakub Żorawski, a beggar from Bydgoszcz, is exceptional, for he left a will from which it may be concluded that he owned a small parcel of real estate (“a small house”) within the city walls. On the basis of his last will some facts from his life may be reconstructed.
