The topic of the presentation will be the presentation and analysis of descriptions of territorial superiors mentioned on the pages of the monastic chronicles of Pomeranian Cistercian monasteries. The primary sources will be the medieval and modern chronicles of the Cistercian monasteries in Pelplin and Oliwa. Not all rulers received attention in the chronicles. One of the most important stimuli for such a description was the commitment to memoria about the ruler on prayer grounds. More often than not, it was on prayerful recollections that later narrative structures in chronicles were developed, which will be analysed in this presentation.
