Duties of court maids on noble estates in the 18th century. Example of the manor of Anna Paulina Jabłonowska née Sapieha (d. 1800), voivode of Bracław

Summary/Abstract: In modern Poland, there were many factors that determined how noble manors developed: for example, the workers and servants employed there, including women - tenants, court maids and village girls. Home economics books are a valuable material for examining the obligations of subjects on noble estates. An example of such a source is Ustawy powszechne dla dóbr moich rządców by Anna Paulina Jabłonowska née Sapieha. In the first volume of this work, the duchess indicated the duties of, among others, court maids. The aim of the considerations is to present the main duties entrusted to women on a noble manor during the 18th century, as well as to prove that their work had a significant impact on the economic development of a given estate and the economy of that period.
