wiardunek (a sum equal to twelve groschen) Explanation: On the grounds of the sumptuary laws (leges sumpturiae), the council began the fi rst known attempts to fi ght gambling that was undoubtedly plaguing inns in Kraków. Games of dice or chance with bets over one wiardunek, i.e. twelve groschen, were forbidden (cum taxillis sive globis). Those caught violating the law were forced to pay a fine of one grzywna to the council (§ 5).79 In accordance with the statutes issued by Jan Grot, the Bishop of Kraków, games with betting were allowed as a form of entertainment but not as a way of dishonest enrichment http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/96269/mainfile.pdf cccccccccccc Wiardunek A unit of account used in medieval central and eastern Europe, primarily Germany and Poland.
