RZECZ O MIKOŁAJU BRUCHRINKU Z DZIURAWYM ZĘBEM, NOTARIUSZU KRÓLEWSKIM, PLEBANIE SZADKOWSKIM I KANONIKU ŁĘCZYCKIM

Thanks to a satirical poem attributed to Stanisław Ciołek, Mikołaj Bruchrink of Szadek is known not only from historical records, but also from literature. Mikołaj began his career about the year 1413, working in royal registry. A funny five-verse poem about the notary Bruchrink with a hole in his tooth refers to this period in his life. By writing it, the would-be deputy chancellor of king Władysław Jagiełło supposedly intended to dissuade him from supporting Hussites. In 1413 Mikołaj was appointed vicar of the Szadek parish, to be finally (in 1434) promoted to the post of canon in Łęczyca chapter.
