Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the activities of Jan Olbracht, who in 1495 requested help from the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, Johann von Tiefen, against against Konrad III the Red, duke of Masovia, who illegally took over the Duchy of Płock after the death of his brother Janusz II. Faced with the demands presented by the royal envoy Jan Koniecpolski, the Order’s authorities temporised with the king. A special state meeting was convened and the Order’s mediation was suggested to the king, only after the fiasco of which, military aid was promised. The validity of king’s request was not questioned, however. Eventually, the help of the Grand Master was not needed, because Jan Olbracht soon solved his argument with the Masovian duke.
