Katarzyna Hochstadt of Telnicz (Moravia) is known as the mistress of Sigismund the Old, mother of his illegitimate children: bishop of Vilnius John of the Lithuanian Dukes, Regina Szafraniec, and Katarzyna Montfort, and wife of Andrzej Kościelecki, castellan of Wojnicz and sub-treasurer of the Crown of Poland. Little is known about her true personality, with the exception of the universally emphasized fact of her being a genuine beauty and the mother and grandmother of beauties. As the legend has it, Katarzyna was an enchantress, a witch, a woman who intruded where she was not supposed to. The few preserved sources suggest of a more subtle picture: a woman of an unknown descent in the higher society that was strange to her was in fact dependent on the grace of men – her lover, her spouse or her son. Katarzyna, however, managed to exercise her influence as she accumulated certain wealth and formed a circle of her clients.

Kotryna Hochstadė iš Telnicų (Moravija) žinoma kaip Žygimanto Senojo meilužė, jo nesantuokinių vaikų – Vilniaus vyskupo Jono iš Lietuvos kunigaikščių, Reginos Šafranie- cienės, Kotrynos Montfortienės – motina ir Voiničiaus kašteliono, Lenkijos karalystės paiždininkio Andriejaus Koščeleckio žmona. Apie jos asmenybę žinoma labai mažai – akcentuojama, kad buvo labai graži ir gražuolių motina bei močiutė. Pasak legendų – vyrų kerėtoja, ragana, moteris, kišusis ten, kur nereikia. Tačiau iš menkai išlikusių šaltinių galima susidaryti subtilesnį vaizdinį apie šią nežinomos kilmės moterį svetimos visuomenės aukštuomenėje iš tiesų nuolat priklausiusią nuo vyrų – meilužio, sutuoktinio, sūnaus – globos. Vis dėlto ji taip pat sugebėjo naudotis savo įtaka – sukaupė nemažai turto, savo klientų ratą.

This article examines the oldest surviving church court records from the Grand duchy of Lithuania, the First Book of Court records from the Janów Podlaski Consistory Court (Diocese of Lutsk), 1469–1486/1516. The cases studied here are but a small part of the record and were selected for their relevance to common aspects of Catholic life documented in less detail in the records of other Lithuanian dioceses (ecclesiastical endowments, adultery, devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, fraternity membership). They also provide evidence of the Faith being taught, allegedly, in Lithuanian. Seven cases are published in an appendix.
