At the table

Everyday drinks and home brewing

Beer was a primary everyday beverage, often brewed within the household using large tubs and cauldrons, while mead was also a common drink.

What people wore

Portable Peasant Wealth

Some peasants owned valuable items like sheepskin coats trimmed with rare beaver fur or garments made from imported London cloth, which served as portable wealth.

Getting around

Daily travel distances for commoners

Travelers on foot or in wagons covered approximately 20 to 30 kilometers per day, while those on horseback could manage 30 to 40 kilometers.

What it cost

Wages and Purchasing Power in Kraków

An unskilled day laborer typically earned about 1.5 to 2 groschen per day. With this daily wage, one could buy about 7 kilograms of rye, 4.5 kilograms of wheat, or approximately 20 liters of beer.

Music

Instruments and Liturgical Singing

Bagpipes (duda), violins (skrypka), and various flutes and drums were common instruments played at inns and social gatherings. In church, Jesuit students regularly performed specific liturgical songs like Iam lucis orto sidere to open their classes.

Daily life

Schooling for non-noble children

In the second half of the 16th century, commoners' children frequently attended educational institutions, making up over half of the students at the Krakow Academy.
