Foundation of the City of Łomża: Sources and Historiography

Abstract

The paper describes historical sources regarding the founding of
the city of Łomża. Based on documents, the state of research and historiographic
concepts relating to the foundation of cities in the Middle Ages, the
date of the chartering of the city of Łomża in spatial and legal terms was
determined to be 1400. The unpublished document appointing the village
mayor [wójt] was the basis for determining the date of founding. The literature
on the subject and discrepancies with historical sources in presenting the
beginnings of the city of Łomża were analyzed.

Keywords:

location, establishment of the city of Łomża, mayor of Łomża, city rights of Łomża, mayor Bacz
