Individuals from the Kalisz Voivodeship Described in Liber Generationis Plebeanorum of Walerian Nekanda Trepka - Part I (Pyzdry And Konin Districts)

Summary/Abstract: Walerian Nekanda Trepka (1584/1585-1640), nobleman from Lesser Poland, driven by hatred towards people not belonging to his class, set himself the task of describing all the cases of impersonation of the nobility he knew from all over Poland. Trepka described his search in the form of an extensive book, which also includes people from the former Kalisz voivodeship. The aim of this article is therefore to describe and attempt to verify Trepka’s findings for a total of eleven individuals from Pyzdry and Konin districts. Among those described, in four cases Trepka made wrongful accusations (Chudziński, Łojewski, Mielżycki, Pomorski), in five he was right but not fully confirmed (Mrowiński, Sobolowski, Święcicki, Kraszowski, Wilkowski), in one he described a case of a peasant convicted by the court (Lenarcik) and one case is difficult to identify (Korczewski). The article is also accompanied by a source appendix containing information about the above-mentioned persons.
