Abstract

Jan of Plock appears in sources in 1506 as a student at the University of Kraków. In the following years of his life he achieved bachelor's and master's degrees at this university. He also joined the clergy and was ordained between 1511 and 1521. After his ordination to the rank of presbyter, he took the altarist benefice in one of the churches in Płock. He probably belonged to that group of medieval clergy who, having no family support and no property of their own, hoped to achieve a significant position in the Church structures thanks to their own skills and education.
