Burgrabia of Cracow
Cracovian burgher (Latin magnus procurator arcis cracoviensis) - the crown of the Kingdom of Poland and the Commonwealth.
Appointed by the king, however, was subject to the authority of the mayor of Cracow, which was purely illusory, because the governor's power did not reach the castle, and he was responsible only in the parliamentary court. He was taking a salary from Wieliczka's soup. Since 1621 he was freed from his participation in the general uprising. He was responsible for the care of the Wawel Royal Castle.
The office was created during the reign of Casimir III the Great. Burgrabia was one of the judges of the High Court of German Law. In the second half of the sixteenth century there were nine, at the end of the eighteenth century. Bibliography
