ENThe wills townsmen have attracted the attention of researchers for a long time; however the wills of the townsmen of Brest have been studied only fragmentarily in historiography. Some wills have been published but the issue is still under-researched. The will of Stanisław Bobrowski, the Mayor of Brest, contains valuable information on the history of urban officials and that of the town itself. There are documents attached to the will which confirm the propriety rights of the inheritors as well as inventories of the estate. Stanisław Bobrowski, a merchant and pharmacist, was appointed Mayor in 1637. His legacy comprised two houses in the Market Square, a pharmacy, the Dobrowiński farm, 3 gardens in Wietrzna Street, 6 granaries, 5 cargo boats, as well as personal property (a suit of armour, silverware, medicines, wines, etc.). The property was divided between his wife, Helena Maliszewska, and children: Jan, Faustyn, Stanisław and Agnieszka. Owing to his hard work and skills, Stanisław Bobrowski gained a high professional, social and material status and was thus able to provide for his family. Since he held the highest position in the town’s self-government, he was able to establish contacts among the bourgeois and gentry milieu in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and abroad.
