| Abstract | In this section of topics we will deal with selected aspects of the relationships of local communities with newcomers and the world outside in medieval Poland. The first paper will try to answer how Silesia was deeply transformed during relatively short period between the last quarter of the 13th and the end of the 14th century. The question is how otherness of the German newcomers did not hurt cohesion of the regional society? The topic of the second paper will be about the relative social standing in the Polish territories and the mutual relations, between the incomers and the previously existing indigenous and immigrant milieus, as well as the self-identity of these incomers. The third paper is an attempt to reply the question how Gdańsk during the rule of Polish kings changed his relationships with other cities from Hanaseatic League, what was new in these relationships and what was traditional. |
