Rozmieszczenie wsi zagrodowych i drobnoszlacheckich w powiecie gnieźnieńskim na przełomie XV i XVI wieku
The location of farmsteads and petty gentry villages in the poviat of Gniezno at the turn of the 15th century

Summary/Abstract: The farmsteads and petty gentry villages of the poviat of Gniezno situated in Kalisz voivodeship are concentrated in three main areas. The first and, at the same time, the largest such concentration was found in the territory located south of Gniezno – on a strip between Gniezno, Witkowo and Czerniejewo. The second was situated in the west of the poviat (Popowo, Łubowo parishes), whereas the last, small, complex comprised several villages in the parish of Trląg. The chronological scope of the study covered the years from the turn of the 15th century, while the source base was constituted by court records regarding the lands of Greater Poland (Wielkopolska), as well as the “Liber beneficiorum of the archidiosece of Gniezno” by Jan Łaski and – for comparative purposes – the 16th-century tax registers.
