As can be seen from the comments herein, every time that
Długokęcki tries to add something new to the main themes I deal
with in writing the history of the caravel, he makes error after
error. It applies to both the marine layer of monograph and understanding of the European context. His interpretation of the sources
and the theories he builds on this basis in order to create an alternative picture are unsuccessful. All in all, though it is evident that
he has tried very hard, Długokęcki is unable to change any of the
findings regarding the major themes addressed in my monograph.
Streszczenie
Jeszcze raz na temat wielkiej karaweli Peter von Danzig
Artykuł jest polemiką z artykułem recenzyjnym Wiesława Długokęckiego, który próbował podważyć moje ustalenia zawarte w monografii
„Peter von Danzig”. Dzieje wielkiej karaweli 1462–1475, Gdańsk 2011.
W obszernym wywodzie wykazuję, że Długokęcki nie był przygotowany
do podjęcia się oceny wyżej wymienionej pracy, zarówno w aspekcie wątków problematyki morskiej, jak i europejskiej. Przeinaczał
moje stwierdzenia, błędnie interpretował źródłowe fakty; nie znał
najnowszej literatury w językach obcych.
in the Light of the Itineraries of Kazimierz Jagiellończyk
and Elżbieta Rakuska
On 10 February 1454, the Polish King, Kazimierz Jagiellończyk (born
1427) married Elżbieta Rakuska (born around 1436/1437), daughter
of the German, Czech, and Hungarian king, Albrecht II Habsburg and
Elizabeth of Luxemburg.
Kazimierz Jagiellończyk and Elżbieta had 13 children, 7 daughters
(two of them – also called Elżbieta – died in early childhood and 6 sons.
So, in total, 11 children survived into adulthood. The royal couple gave
birth to children with a certain regularity, more or less every several
months, especially in the first years of their marriage. It is well‑known
that Elżbieta accompanied Kazimierz Jagiellończyk on his journeys for
many years. Research has revealed the itineraries of the King and his
wife. This article analyzes these itineraries with regard to the details
of the journey and the place of conception of individual royal children.
The analysis reveals that, especially in the first years of the marriage,
King Kazimierz Jagiellończyk spent a lot of time journeying between
different places. This was not just a consequence of the custom (common then) of royal progresses, but also of the military situation. Queen
O okolicznościach narodzin królewskich dzieci… 157
Elżbieta did not give up the company of her husband on his journeys,
although she did not venture into areas directly affected by warfare. So
it is not surprising that the first royal offspring – the future Czech and
Hungarian King Władysław – saw the light of day in Wawel Castle,
but he was conceived outside Kraków. Possibilities include Łuków,
Kazimierz Dolny, Radom, Opoczno, or, finally, Piotrków.
Nor is it difficult to see that from the moment of the birth of their
first‑born son to Elżbieta’s next pregnancy, the royal pair were practically never parted, leaving Kraków together, travelling and spending time in Lithuania. Their daughter Jadwiga was conceived during
a winter stay in Lithuania, most likely in Wilno. The next children
were also conceived during the couple’s long visits to Lithuania:
Kazimierz in winter, and Jan Olbracht in spring. Most likely, their
son Aleksander was conceived in Łęczyca. In turn Zofia was conceived
in Breść Kujawski. It is difficult to fix the place where Elżbieta (1) was
conceived; it happened while travelling, at the time of one of the couple’s brief stops in Kłodawa, Łęczyca, Piotrków, or Parczew. Zygmunt
was conceived in Łęczyca, and Fryderyk in Kraków. He was the first
but not the only one of the royal children to be conceived in Wawel
Castle; his sisters Elżbieta (2) and Barbara were conceived there too.
Anna, older than Barbara, was conceived somewhere en route between
Lublin and Nowe Miasto Korczyn.
Like their eldest brother, the majority of the royal children were
born in Wawel Castle. Exceptions were: Zygmunt, born in Kozienice
(in this case, we know that this was a result of a search for a place
safe from plague), Anna, born in Nieszawa (almost to the birth, the
Queen accompanied her husband on his current journey), and Barbara,
born in Sandomierz. The King was present at the following births:
of Władysław, Jan Olbracht, Zofia, Elżbieta (1), Zygmunt, Fryderyk,
Elżbieta (2), and Barbara. We know the dates of the christenings of
several of the children: Władysław – 4 April 1456 (more than a month
after his birth; his parents set off on a journey when he was almost two
months old); Kazimierz – 5 November 1458 (more than a month after
his birth; the christening waited till the King returned; the royal couple
set off on a journey three months after his birth); Jan Olbracht – christened three days after his birth (30 December); Zofia – christened
a week after being born (her parents set off on a journey five months
after her birth). The King was certainly present at the christenings of
Elżbieta (1) in June 1465 (a week after her birth), Zygmunt, Fryderyk
(christened eleven days after being born), Elżbieta (2), and Barbara
(eleven days elapsed between her birth and her christening).
If we look at the bates of birth of the children of Kazimierz
Jagiellończyk and Elżbieta, we also see that in the first few years the
gaps between a birth and a subsequent pregnancy were quite short.
158 Beata Możejko
Between 1456 (the first birth) and 1461, pregnancies occurred at the
following intervals: the second pregnancy was nine months from the
first birth; the third pregnancy was five to five and a half months after
the second; the fourth was around seven months after the third birth;
and the fifth pregnancy came eleven to twelve months after the fourth
birth. After the birth of a fifth child (Aleksander), there was a gap of
more than two years before the Queen’s next pregnancy, a subsequent
conception being in September 1463. From the birth of her sixth child
to her seventh pregnancy there was an interval of four to five months;
from the seventh birth to the eighth pregnancy there was an interval
of around ten to eleven months; from the eighth birth to the ninth
pregnancy, it was eight months. After this eighth birth (27 April 1468),
it was three years before the Queen was pregnant again, this interval
being most likely caused by illness (perhaps miscarriage). It was only
around mid‑September 1471 that the Queen was pregnant again. After
giving birth to her tenth child (20 April 1472), there was a gap of more
than three years. The Queen only became pregnant again in June 1475.
The child was born in March 1476, and a further conception took place
more or less eighteen months later. We cannot discuss the date and
place of conception of the royal daughter Elżbieta (3); we do not have
annual data relating to the date of her birth.
As can be seen from the comments herein, every time that
Długokęcki tries to add something new to the main themes I deal

error. It applies to both the marine layer of monograph and understanding of the European context. His interpretation of the sources

Historiographic Findings and Research Questions .................................................................... 323
Z recenzji prof. dr hab. Joachima Zdrenki
Bohaterkami książki Księżniczki i inne. O sześciu średniowiecznych władczyniach, szlachciance i pisarce są: Joanna z Nawarry, Izabela Bawarska, Krystyna de Pizan, Eleanor Cobham, Jadwiga Jagiellonka, Izabela d’Este, Joanna Szalona (Kastylijska) i Margherita Datini.
Covering areas in today’s Ukraine, Poland, Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, and Slovakia, this book studies the impact of both natural and human-inflicted disasters on pre-modern towns.
Various kinds of catastrophes, starting with major natural disasters such as fires, floods, earthquakes, and epidemics caused high population mortality. Others, such as protracted war conflicts, were caused by human activity and could be just as, if not more, destructive for cities, their populations and the urban economy. Crises affected not only the population as a whole, but also townsmen and women in their individual lives. Case studies of renewal and resilience in the volume illustrate that, in many cases, successfully overcoming disaster brought positive changes for urban people. The collection presents analytical research anchored in the contemporary historiographical discourse on studying social and cultural relations in urban environments in the Middle Ages and early modern period, and it incorporates interdisciplinary approaches in the forms of geography, archaeology, and literary theory.
This volume is an engaging resource for students and researchers of pre-modern history, social history, and disaster studies.
The concept of friends is considered broadly, not only as connections of mutual affection but also simply through business relationships. Families are considered in terms of how they helped or hindered local integration for foreigners and the matrimonial strategies they pursued. Networks were also deeply impacted by rivalry and hostility.

Ten original contributions examine coins and currencies, trade, economy, and power, taking care to avoid an out-of-date approach to economic history which assumes a progression from ‘primitive’ forms to ‘developed’ structures. Combining a variety of methodological approaches, and drawing on written sources, archaeological and numismatic evidence, and anthropological perspectives, the book considers the various ways in which silver and gold were used as monetary currency, fiscal instruments of power, and gifts in the High and Late Medieval societies of the Baltic Sea.
This book will appeal to scholars and students of medieval European history, as well as those interested in economic history, and the history of trade and commerce.
Using literary and archival sources, Możejko provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of the information available about the caravel and her colourful career.

The article concerns a letter from the second half of the 15th century. The author from Frankfurt wrote to Gdańsk that he can produce works, such as in the attached drawing. The drawing can be considered one of the older advertisements of war equipment
voyage to Gdańsk. Our knowledge about the structure of this vessel is based on a
reconstruction by Otto Lienau, a shipbuilding engineer who worked at the Technische
Hochschule in Gdańsk (today’s Politechnika Gdańska). This three-masted ship
was damaged in bad weather and remained laid up on the Motława in Gdańsk for
many years. In 1471, having been overhauled for use in the conflict between the
Hansa and England, she set sail on her second voyage, this time as a warship named
Peter von Danzig, commanded by the Gdańsk councillor Berndt Pawest. In September
1471, she called at a Dutch port. Her third voyage – made from January to March
1472 in the North Sea in search of English vessels – ended when she was damaged.
The repairs were completed in June 1472. In August the Gdańsk privateer Paul Beneke
took command of the caravel. In autumn 1472, on her third voyage, Beneke sailed her
to Hamburg. In April 1473, on her fourth voyage, Beneke attacked two Burgundian
galleys, capturing one with a valuable cargo that included Hans Memling’s triptych
‘The Last Judgement’ (now held by the National Museum in Gdańsk). On her fifth
voyage, she sailed to Hamburg and Stade, and on her sixth she returned to Gdańsk.
The great caravel’s final voyage took place in the summer of 1475, when she incurred
severe damage in the Bay of Biscay near Rochefort and her maritime service came to
an end.

On 27 April 2023, 650 years will have passed since the victorious action of the Gdańsk privateer Paul Beneke. He captured a Burgundian galley with rich cargo on board, including The Last Judgment triptych. He donated this altar to the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gdańsk. After centuries, researchers recognised the altar as the work of Hans Memling.
To commemorate 650 years since the appearance of Hans Memling's work in Gdańsk, we are organising a conference devoted to the broad context of this artist's work.
dovolujeme si Vás pozvat na pracovní zasedání organizované Centrem medievistických studií (FLU AV ČR) ve spolupráci s Univerzitou Palackého v Olomouci a s Univerzitou Gdańsk na téma Středověké město a jeho obyvatelé v časech katastrof v rámci programu Strategie 21 Město jako laboratoř změny; stavby, kulturní dědictví a prostředí pro bezpečný a hodnotný život (https://www.avcr.cz/cs/strategie/vyzkumne-programy/prehled-programu/23-mesto-jako-laborator-zmeny-bezpecne-stavby/), jež se bude konat ve druhé polovině září roku 2021 v prostorách Centra medievistických studií. Naším záměrem je soustředit badatelskou pozornost především na ekonomické, hospodářské a společenské aspekty městského života v dlouhé perspektivě 13.-16. století.
V životě každého města existovala jak období dynamického rozvoje, tak období stability a neměnnosti v duchu dlouhého trvání. Vedle toho však každé město postihovaly v jeho dějinách katastrofy, jež měly dlouhodobé, či dokonce trvalé následky. Tyto katastrofy měly podobu vysoké úmrtnosti v souvislosti s nejrůznějšími epidemiemi, vojenského obléhání či dobytí města, zachvácení města požárem či povodní, ekonomického úpadku v důsledku změny obchodních tras a trhů, ztráty politické závislosti apod. Katastrofy se ovšem nevyhýbaly ani měšťankám a měšťanům na úrovni jejich individuálních životů, ať už měly podobu vztahových dramat, bankrotů podnikání či kriminálních činů. Na všechny krizové jevy na rovině jednotlivých osudů i celé komunity museli lidé z města reagovat a hledat způsoby obnovy katastrofou zničeného života.
Doufáme, že na přelomu léta a podzimu již bude možné uskutečnit zasedání naživo. Pokud by to epidemiologické podmínky neumožnily, uspořádáme v této krajní možnosti pracovní zasedání online.
S publikováním příspěvků počítáme v ediční řadě Colloquia medievalia Pragensia, popřípadě v samostatné knižní publikaci.
Své příspěvky prosím přihlašujte do konce dubna roku 2021.
