Border Treaty of 1359
Border Treaty of 11 November 1359 between the Lublin region and the Chełm duchy - one of the few documents describing the course of the medieval Polish-Lithuanian border reflecting, to a considerable extent, the former Polish-Russian border. It was signed on St. Martini (November 11, 1359) in an unmarked place between Poland represented by the Grotto of Chrobrzan coat of arms Rawa - starost of Lubelskie (acting on behalf of king Casimir the Great) and Lithuania represented by Andrzej Szerkalicz from Krupow - voivode and starost of Chełm (played by Jerzy Narymuntowicz, Prince of Bełżów, Chełmski and Piński). The treaty was signed in the council of the elderly - noblemen '(in the original'antiquos viros'), six for each of the parties.
The left (Polish, Lublin) page represents;
Jakub Marzina, Wacław - the area from Oleśnik, Swarton Capusta from Suchodol, Morisz and Mikołaj from Krzczonow and Wojslaw Żółkowski from Częstochorow.
The right (Russian, Chełm) side represents; Obornow, Ivan Squal and his father Chodor Sqweczicz from Stężyca, Andrey from Gorzkowo, Stebli from Płonki and Olex Pelczicz from Chlania.
The border was between the pairs of villages: Oleśniki and Dobryniów, Suchodol and Stężyca, Częstoborowice and Gorzków, Pilaszkowice and Żółkiewka.
Along with the surviving documents of the Polish-Lithuanian Treaties (the Treaty of Truce of 1352 and the Peace Treaty of 1366), it is an important written source illustrating the history of the region. This establishment of the border line became permanent for history, because 300 years later the same line divides the Lublin voivodship from Ruthenian (see map from the Jabłonowski Atlas), and more broadly and durably - Lubelszczyzna from Chelmszczyzna and Zamojszczyzna.
