In all likelihood descended from the impoverished Mazovian gentry, Siestrzeński resolved to seek his livelihood in the town, hence his decision to settle in Lublin. Here he achieved success; admittedly, he never became a member of the local municipal élite, but he attained a strong position both in his trade (in the swordsmiths’ guild) and financially, in the latter aspect by acquiring a house in a prestigious quarter of the city. Additionally, his testament sheds some light on everyday life during the great plague in 1652.}, doi = {}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/rbn-pau-pan/article/szlachcic-mieszczaninem-losy-miecznika-lubelskiego-jozefa-siestrzenskiego-w-swietle-jego-ostatniej-woli-z-17-czerwca-1652-r} }
