Summary/Abstract: On 18 June 1388 in Malbork a number of lords from Great Poland signed a treaty with the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order Konrad Zöllner von Rotenstein concerning supplying him with military aid against Władysław Jagiełło, the king of Poland, which would include, among other things, allowing the Order to use the “castles” belonging to them when- ever they needed. The paper identifies those lords and puts forward a hypothesis concerning the motifs which led them to the betrayal of the Polish monarch. In the appendix two sources are published: the document of 18 June 1388 and the documents of Wierzbięta of Smogulec dated 29 July 1390 and 25 July 1391.
