Abstract
Letters from Kurpian forest bee-keepers to the King of Prussia from the years 1798–1806 Two letters of forest bee-keepers from the Przasnysz district to King of Prussia illustrate one of the many conflicts that took place between forest bee-keepers of the Kurpiowska Forest and Prussian local officials. The history of privileges for the forest bee-keepers of the royal estates dates back to the Polish king Casimir the Great (1333–1370). Successive Polish rulers confirmed and extended the rights for forest bee-keepers. Royal privileges, as well as, a significant isolation of forest settlements, led to the creation of a clear sense of separateness of Kurpie residents from other royal subjects. Despite the care and support from the king himself, misunderstandings with local authorities on the amount of honey impositions and other easements occurred often. One such dispute started back in the times of Polish Lithuanian Republic and was continued after the partitions of the Republic when Kurpie came under the rule of King of Prussia. Situation of forest bee-keepers became particularly difficult because at the same time apart from oppressive attitude of the local district governor, the policy of the state underwent a radical change and the economic situation downturn badly shaken the forest production. Appeals to the royal justice had not brought results that were expected by forest bee-keepers.
