“There Will Be Money; There Will Be Something To Pay With”. Comments on the Margins of Jan Karol Chodkiewicz’s Debt Registers

Summary/Abstract: The article is based on Jan Karol Chodkiewicz’s debt registers, supplemented by the information drawn, among other things, from correspondence and estate inventories. The example of the Grand Het- man of Lithuania’s activity serves as a pre- text to pose questions about the profitability of military service in the first half of the sev- enteenth century, the amount and structure of magnates’ income and the place of credit in the economy of the great landowners of the Commonwealth.
