Summary/Abstract: King Władysław Jagiełło transferred Piotr Wysz to Poznan and nominated Wojciech Jastrzębiec for the Krakow bishopric. Mroczek of Łopuchowo did not approve of the king’sdecision and planned to kill Jastrzębiec. However, the latter failed to make an appearance at an appointed convention. In this article I make an attempt at finding the two protagonists’ families as well as analysing not only Jan Długosz’s Annales dedicated to this event but also Polish historiography. Notably, every historian who covered this case, entirely trusted Długosz.
