	King Władysław Jagiełło had the right of patronage to over a hundred beneficiary parish churches in the Archdioceses of Gniezno and Lviv, several dozen prebendaries in cathedral and collegiate chapters, and to a difficult to assess number of chapels and church altar fundations all over the monarchy. The number of the beneficiaries under the king’s patronage was changing. It was being increased by the new churches and prebendaries founded by the king, and decreased by the benefices granted by the ruler to the Cracow’s University or religious congregations. As a patron, the king presented a candidate for a vacant benefice in writing. Due to the evanescent charcter of those documents, very few have survived until the present day. In the collection of the Scientific Library of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Polish Academy of Sciences a document written by Władysław Jagiełło in 1390 has been found. It presents Mikołaj Trąba as a candidate for the position of an altarist in the Cracow Cathedral. There is also another document worth mentioning in which seventeen years later Władysław Jagiełło presented Mikołaj Trąba as a candidate for the office of a parish priest in Przemyków, which became vacant after the death of king’s preacher and confessor, Jan Szczekna.
