Prastare dzieje Piotrkowa – czyli słów parę o mieście Piotrkowie
The ancient history of Piotrkow – a few words about the city of Piotrkow

Summary/Abstract: In 2017, we celebrated the 800th anniversary of the first historical mention referring to the city of Piotrkow – listing the name in a document for the Cistercian monastery from nearby Sulejów. The article analyzes all the oldest historical records referring to Piotrkow and attempted to answer the question when it was possible to find the location of Piotrków on German law. In addition, an analysis was made of the king Władysław Jagiełło from 1404, in which he renewed the location privilege after the great fire that destroyed Piotrkow. This privilege allowed the reconstruction of the city.
