Marriage in Medieval Poland: A Study of Evidence from the Poznań Consistory Court, 1404-1428 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789004707153)

This volume presents a new picture of marriage in medieval Poland. Based on the analysis of historical documents from the ecclesiastical courts of one of the oldest dioceses in Poland, this book sheds light on the presence and prevalence of a wide range of marital problems in the Diocese of Poznań in the first quarter of the fifteenth century. Through the material presented, the voices of one of the most underrepresented groups in the history of society - namely women from the lower social strata - are amplified.
