    Abstrakt

    Paweł Legendorf ’s life and activities (around 1410–1467) were conditioned by the difficult neighborhood of the Teutonic Order in Prussia and the Polish Crown. His situation was complicated in the middle of this century, after the people of this land denounced obedience and then war to the Order, which was undoubtedly a rebellion. The location of Legendorf became especially difficult when during that thirteen years’ war of the Teutonic Order with Poland (1454-1466) he was appointed administrator of the diocese of Warmia in the autumn of 1458 by Pope Pius II. From the arrival of Warmia in the summer of 1460 to the end of the war in the autumn of 1466, he was forced to considerably balance between the parties to the conflict. On the basis of the document of January 26, 1432, the author justifies the need to withdraw the date of birth of Paweł Legendorf until about 1410. From this letter, it seems
    that Paul probably in 1431 became parish priest of the parish in Mątowy Wielkie in the diocese of Pomezania, from this institution in January 1432, he reported through his father the desire to resign, hoping to receive, through the intercession of the authors of the letter to the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, a more cherished parish (he could not become a parish priest at the age of 16, so he was not born around 1415). After 1437, that is after the death of the past parish priest, Legendorf took over the parish in Domnowo, located in the then diocese of Warmia, from which the income facilitated or even enabled him to start studies in Leipzig in 1441. He studied there in the years 1441-1442, obtaining a baccalaureate (licencjat) in the field of liberal arts. From there, he went to Rome to Sapienza University and probably there he obtained a master’s degree. Before 1447, he came to the papal court, where he remained in the service of three more Popes. Legendorf received the episcopal consecration only on September 21, 1466 in Toruń and he held the dignity of the Ordinary of Warmia until his death on July 23, 1467. He died probably in Braniewo (or in its vicinity) and here in the church. St. Catherine was buried. The author presents the attitude of Legendorf to the Teutonic Order and to the Polish Crown on the basis of numerous sources and studies, concluding that the bishop Paweł undoubtedly had the temperament of an efficient and effective politician (maybe the effect of a dozen or so practice in the Roman Curia). The situation of Legendorf in the mid-fifteenth century was difficult because both fighting parties expected his loyalty, from time to time testing it while they were not always loyal to Warmia and its shepherd. Paweł Legendorf was a wise and prudent governor of the diocese of Warmia, and he never placed his personality above the interests and prosperity of the episcopate. It is a form of the European format whose political talents underestimated - to the detriment of each other - both sides of a furious armed conflict, which in the mid-15th century devastated Warmia.
