The author of the article analyzes Polish obituary notices published in „Gazeta Wyborcza” (the nationwide newspaper published daily). In the beginning the characteristic features and types of this genre has been discussed. The author attempts to explain also how valuation is understood in linguistic context and through which means it is realized. He has fully ana-lyzed selected obituary notices regarding them from linguistic and axiological perspective. His aim has been to show what was being valuated in obituary notices and how it was mani-fested in different elements of such texts (initial formula, identification and characteristics of a person who died, the ending of the obituary notice).

In the Polish historiography the death date of Eric I, Duke of Pomerania (1449–1459), differs from the one in the German historiography, and the difference has inspired the author to write this article, which includes an obituary notice – so far unknown – concerning the Duke. The notice has been found in the records of the Cathedral Chapter in Kamień Pomorski (German: Cammin), which are kept in the State Archives in Szczecin. More precisely, the notice is to be found on the first folio of one of the lists of the benefices pertaining to the Cathedral Church in Kamień. Thanks to the notice the death date of Eric I, one of the rulers of the states which were parts of the Kalmar Union, seems not to have fallen – as most researchers assumed – between May 3 and June 16, 1459. The obituary notice unmistakably indicates that the ruler must have died on May 23, 1459 in Darłowo, where he was also buried.
