Peasant right to land and participation of peasants in property trade in the Duchy of Warsaw through the lens of notarial deeds – on the example of Konin County

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the outcome of the analysis of purchase/sale agreements concerning peasant-owned land properties con- cluded in the Konin County during the existence of the Duchy of Warsaw. The research is based on archival materials in the form of notarial needs drawn up by Konin Notary Wilhelm Sztandke and clerks of the Konin Justice of the Peace. The documents are stored in the Konin branch of the State Archives in Poznań. The analysis comprises the following aspects: the type and area of sold properties, conditions imposed on peasants by nobility (price, fees, con- sensus, laudemium), freedom of trading in properties purchased by peasants, participation of peasants in property trade in comparison to other classes, and financial resources of peasants in view of the finalized transactions.
