Once More on the Activity of Piotr and Mikołaj Komorowski in Upper Hungary in the Fifteenth Century

Summary/Abstract: Karol Krajewski takes up the subject of the activity of Piotr and Mikołaj Komorowski of the Korczak coat of arms in the northern part of the Kingdom of Hungary in the fifteenth century. Their activity is closely related to the topic of Upper Hungary in this period, a topic that has been discussed many times since the beginning of modern historiography, especially in Slovak and Polish historiography. Krajewski’s article is an attempt to assess the value of this research. Krajewski focuses on the activity of Piotr and Mikołaj Komorowski in the Hungarian territories in the years from c. 1440 to c. 1480. Describing the activity of Mikołaj Komorowski, Krajewski points to, among other things, his active participation, in the capacity of a military commander, in the civil war in Hungary on the side of Władysław III of Poland (Władysław Jagiellończyk) and his conflict with the bishop of Kraków Zbigniew Oleśnicki for the Spiš starostwo (county). Among the activities of Piotr Komorowski, Krajewski discusses the graduał building of his position in the area of Upper Hungary during the life of Władysław III and in the period after this king’s death, his rivalry and cooperation with other powerful nobles in this region, his involvement in the events related to the activity of the so-called bratrzyks, and his participation in the conflicts between Casimir IV Jagiellon (Kazimierz Jagiellończyk) and Maciej Korwin.
