Resumen

This study explores the mutual influences between two East-Central European medieval royal cities, Košice and Kraków, focusing on the adoption of specific models in urban administration and economic organization. Košice, an important trading center in the Kingdom of Hungary, maintained close ties with Kraków, the hub for merchants and capital of the Kingdom of Poland. The study analyzes migration patterns between the towns, the organization of markets, and administrative structures. It focuses on similarities between the guilds of wealthy merchants, the layout of marketplaces, and the existence of the Lohnherren office in both towns. The aim is to promote further comparative research and a deeper understanding of the interconnection of urban communities in medieval Europe.
