The articlep roposes an analysis of the peasantry’s position based on the assumption of the existence of the subjectivity of this most numerous social group. This subjectivity resulted, among other factors, from the labour market’s demand for labour, which required a certain flexibility on the part of the manors, but also from peasant activity in local markets. This activity interacted with the entrepreneurship and wealth of some peasants. This activity made peasant entrepreneurship possible, and even enabled some to become wealthy. In this way, it is also possible to understand their appearance in the municipal courts and their particular prominence and capacity to manage their own affairs in relation with other social estates in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.}, title={Podmiotowość chłopstwa staropolskiego}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl./Content/240685/WA303_277074_A52-KH-R-130-4_Wyzga.pdf}, volume={130}, number={4}, journal={Kwartalnik Historyczny}, publisher={Fundacja Instytutu Historii im.
