The economy of the Łuków land in the Middle Ages in the light of sources
The economic history of the Łuków land in the Middle Ages can be divided into two periods: the 12th-14th and the 15th centuries. In each of them, the Łuków land developed differently, moving from an extensive economy to an increasingly dynamic one. Dr. Marcin Gomółka presents the factors determining the pace of this development, and the most important of them was the Union of Krewo concluded in 1385. This event resulted in the transformation of the Łuków land from a peripheral territory to one located in the center of the Polish-Lithuanian state. This resulted in changes of a settlement, economic and trade nature. Towns and villages were established, markets and fairs were established, agriculture, animal breeding and beekeeping began to develop. We invite you to read.
