“…NIE DLA TEGO SIEDZICIE NA URZĘDZIE, ABYŚCIE NAM MIELI ŁAJAĆ ALBO SZAMOCIĆ ALE DLA SPRAWIEDLIWOŚCI I PORZĄDKU DOBREGO…”: РЕЛЯЦІЯ ЛЬВІВСЬКОГО ВОЗНОГО У СПРАВІ СКАРГИ МІЩАН ЛЬВОВА НА РАЙЦІВ ВІД 28 СЕРПНЯ 1576 РОКУ

In the second half of the 70-th years of the 16thcentury Lviv reached the apogee of dissatisfaction with the activities of the city council. The cause of this situation was problems with the functioning of municipal authorities, the numerous abuses of councillors in the financial sphere and the fact that townsmen are not allowed to check urban accounts. Extraordinary contributions, usually at double rate, charged by the councillors without the permission of the commoners, were the reason of commoners’ protests. The published document describes the event in the city on 28 September 1576, when townsmen came to the City hall to protest the activity of the city council. Councillors didn’t admit their guilt but threatened and insulted them.
