Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the issue of burgher elites in small towns in Lesser Poland in the modern period. Special emphasis is placed on the people holding the highest municipal administrative posts: town councillors and judicial vogts, and on the differences between political systems in private and royal towns. These differences manifested, among others, in disparate hierarchies of offices and greater rotation of civil servants. The paper also discusses the issue of the legal status of burghers in noble-owned estates and the small-town financial elite.
