Wyrok biskupa płockiego Pawła Giżyckiego w sporze pomiędzy Ninogniewem Kryskim a Bogusławem, plebanem w Drobinie

Abstract

The unpublished judgement from the books of the activities of the bishops of Płock is one of few medieval sources on the history of the Drobin parish. It was issued in Płock on February 5, 1449, by the bishop Paweł Giżycki, in the case of the dispute between the heir of Drobin, Ninogniew Kryski, and its parson, Bogusław. On its basis, Ninogniew was to present the church in Drobin with one volok free from labour and rent, located among the peasant voloks, as well as to give Bogusław an inn for life. In return, the parson was to pay him the same rent as other innkeepers in Drobin or a fixed sum from the sales of beer. Moreover, having been given the volok, Bogusław was obliged by the bishop who settled the dispute to perform personally or through another priest three masses a week (two for the dead and one for the sins of Ninogniew and his loved ones).
