Dochody starostw w Wielkopolsce i Prusach Królewskich w okresie przed i po potopie szwedzkim
Income of starostwa in Greater Poland and Royal Prussia before and after the Swedish “deluge"

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the volume and structure of revenue in selected starostwa in Greater Poland and Royal Prussia in three chronological sections. Revenues were divided into five main categories: (1) from manorial production; (2) from the village industrial-manufacturing economy and fishing; (3) from peasant farms burdens; (4) from towns; and (5) from others. The analysis results show a decline in all types of income in the 1720s and a further regression after the wars of the mid-century. In the first half of the seventeenth century, the revenue structure was dominated by revenues from the manor economy, while in 1659–1665, the part of revenues received from royal towns increased.
