The document confirms the earlier privilege granted by emperor Charles IV to Zbigniew and his brother Stanisław, giving them the title of counts of the Reich and a coat of arms, and also endows the sons of Zbigniew (Przedbor and Pakosław) with the Polish town of Włodzisław. The article provides evidence for the thesis that this bestowal was not canceled by Louis I of Hungary. The document was the basis for a much broader privilege, forged by father S. Wojeński in the mid-17th century. The article is supplemented by the previously unknown original text of the privilege, which is now part of the collection of the archive of the Institute of Manuscripts in the Vladimir Vernadsky National Library in Kyiv.}, doi = {10.4467/2391-890XPAH.20.010.14644}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/przeglad-archiwalno-historyczny/article/z-istoriyi-odnogo-falsifikatu-privilei-kazimira-iii-dlia-paniv-iz-bzhezia} }
