Absztrakt
On April 15, 1685, Abaúj County sent a letter to Imre Thököly to draw the monarch’s attention to the contradictions and abuses of the lawsuit against Vilmos Draheim, and to propose the return of the estates unlawfully confiscated by the Chamber. The mediation of the county also contributed to the fact that Vilmos Draheim, the former prefect of the Spiš Chamber, was able to keep his cattle. However, it is not specified in any document what estates the Chamber confiscates, they are referred to only in a couple of sentences. As part of the life of the former prefect is obscured, it is only possible to reconstruct his estates and their size from the data and letter excerpts from 1682–93. This study undertakes just that, looking for answers to the questions on how Draheim was able to enrich his cattle during his work and how much wealth he left to his children when he died.
