Commemorating the Polish Renaissance Child 42 in the privileges which he enjoyed’,13 there were huge socio-economic differences between the magnates and the ‘rabble’. 14 At the top, a score of families possessed hundreds or even thousands of properties,15 while at the bottom, the hołota or rabble possessed neither land nor serfs – they worked as tenant farmers, labourers, domestics or soldiers, or eked out a living in the towns as szlachta brukowa (street nobility).
By the seventeenth century, the nobility had succeeded in preserving their monopoly over the land, their power over the peasants and their control over the economy. Furthermore, contrary to the stratified hierarchies of nobles in other societies, in Poland the nobility (szlachta) insisted on affirming the principle that all nobles were equal – a principle that masked the political, economic and social diversity of the various szlachta grades.
