Registers of citizenship as a source of urban migration in late medieval Bardejov

Late medieval citizenship registers from Bardejov reveal significant patterns of urban migration, offering unprecedented insight into the movement and integration of newcomers. The study identifies key factors influencing citizenship acquisition, including place of origin and occupation, while also highlighting the challenges in interpreting these records due to their fragmentary nature. A notable focus is on the migration of scholars, particularly those who transitioned into notarial roles, providing a unique lens on the intellectual mobility within the town. This research contributes to understanding urban dynamics during this period by leveraging historical documents to trace career trajectories and social integration processes.
