„Herr Wirsibanth derselben Ilzen vater” — znowu o kręgu rodzinnym starosty generalnego Wielkopolski Wierzbięty z Palowic
“Herr Wirsibanth derselben Ilzen vater”: Once More on the Family Circle of the Starost General of Wielkopolska Wierzbięta from Palowice

Summary/Abstract: In 1367, the general starost of Greater Poland, Wierzbięta from Palowice, was certified at the court of the prince of Świdnica-Jawor, Bolko II the Small. The purpose of his visit is not known, although it can be suspected that it was political. Wierzbięta was also connected with the Duchy of Świdnica-Jawor by other contacts. Within the borders of the duchy, in the vicinity of Jawor, he owned property and married his daughter Elżbieta there. Her husband was the knight Nicholas Bolz, the chef of Bolko II the Small, and subsequently the steward of the widow, Princess Agnes of Austria. Nicholas belonged to the political and financial elite in the Duchy of Świdnica-Jawor. Presumably, he could have made acquaintance with his father-inlaw during his stay at the Court of Świdnica. However, both dignitaries could also get to know each other thanks to their circle of mutual friends, the families of Falkenhain and Samborowic.
