5. In 1317, king Władysław Łokietek granted Lublin the city rights.
In 1385 there was a very important historical event in Lublin -
the act of union between Poland and Lituania was signed. Lublin is
a very old town. It has many historical monuments . Lublin has a
beautiful old city as well as many historical churches.

6. Long, long time ago the Polish king Stefan Batory gave up his royal privilege to judge the nobility and established the Crown Tribunal - the
highest court of appeal for noblemen. With time the fairness of the verdicts has been questioned more and more often. The wealthier the party
the bigger the possibility of winning the case. One of the two tribunal courts was located in Lublin, city in eastern Poland.
Once upon a time there was a poor widow. She lived on what little land she had inherited from her late husband. A wealthy nobleman from
Żytomierz called Kurdwanowski raided widow's property, robbed what he could and burned the rest, knowing full well that with no male
family members alive nobody would defend her. The woman went to city court and demanded compensation but she lost her case. Her last
chance was to appeal to tribunal court
.Kurdwanowski arrived to Lublin with a retinue of henchmen and pouch full of gold. The bench gathered and the appellate proceeding began.
Invoking God's name the judges announced the verdict. The magnate won again although it was blatant injustice. The exasperated woman
wrung her hands and exclaimed: "Even the devils would have pronounced the fairer verdict!". The judges pretended they didn't hear the insult
and filed out of the courtroom.
That night at midnight the strangest cortège arrived before the Crown Tribunal's building. Big black fiery horses were stamping the ground
and snorting impatiently. Elegantly clad gentlemen stepped out of the magnificent carriages. They entered the tribunal to once again examine
the widow's case. A court writer they woke up and called to attend the case noticed with a trembling heart that under their long black robes
the hooves could be seen and from under their ornate feathered hats the horns were peeking out. Before the writer decided what to do a new
verdict was pronounced, this time to the poor woman's advantage. The nobleman was to give her back what he took and pay for the damage.
To emphasize the statement the devil slammed his hand on the table leaving the scorched mark on its surface. Some say that it was his way of
signing the verdict and he burned the parchment through.
Seeing that the devils announced a fair judgement when people in his name didn't, the Jesus on the cross averted his face in shame from the
scene and shed the tears of blood.
Before the first cock crowed to announce a new day the party had vanished.
The news of the devils' trial spread quickly through the city and people gathered around the tribunal. The unfair judges fell down the stairs in
their hurry to the next trial breaking their legs. The cheering crowd moved the crucifix to the St Michael The Archangel church, where it
remained until the church was taken down.
