Nieznany dyplom Przemysława I Noszaka, księcia cieszyńskiego, z 1380 roku Przyczynek do pochodzenia Mazańcowskich z Mazańcowic vel Lhotskich z Lhoty (Ligocki z Ligoty)
An Unknown Diploma of Przemysław I Noszak, Duke of Cieszyn, from the Year 1380: A Contribution Related to the Origin of the Mazańcowski Family from Mazańcowice vel Lhotskie from Lhota (Ligocki from Ligota)

Summary/Abstract: Archival research in modern sources often brings discoveries of copies of known and unknown medieval documents. Wacław Gojniczek’s research conducted in the State Archives in Bielsko-Biała found an oblata (i.e., the entry of a legal act in court books) of a diploma from 1380. The owner of the document received its widymat (a vidimus, an attested copy) in 1603, and in the same year submitted it to the chancellery of the Bielsko-Biała state lord in order to have it entered in the book of protocols of the Bielsko state country. The document was issued by Przemysław I Noszak, Duke of Cieszyn and Wielki Głogów. The diploma shows that the duke confirmed all of the previously established privileges for the owners of the village of Mazańcowice, located near Bielsko: knights Lenart, Paszek, and Miczek, sons of Wilhelm known as Swidoniczer. The original was written in German on parchment on May 8th 1380 in Skoczów. Wacław Gojniczek submits the hypothesis that the knights from Mazańcowice from the end of the fourteenth century could have been the ancestors of the Lhotski nobility family from Lhota, who in the sixteenth and early seventeenth century were the owners of Mazańcowice.
