Piotr Baryka (1600â€"1675) was a seventeenth-century Polish soldier

and writer, most probably of burgher origin, of whom very little is

known. He is listed as one of the authors present at the coronation of

Władysław IV.From 1625 to 1629 he took part in military expeditions

for Hetman Stanislaw Koniecpolski. Then he settled at the court of

Sieradz as a wealthy citizen (perhaps he was Albert

Lubienski-Makovetski Sieradzki). Between 1629 and 1633,[1] Baryka

wrote a Carnival comedy about a peasant who was turned into king (Z

chłopa król). It was first staged as it was in 1633,[2] and finally

printed in 1637.[1]Piotr Baryka is one of the few of these playwrights

whose names have come to us. The Peasant King, as its title indicates,

carries a motif made popular in the introduction to Shakespeare's The

Taming of the Shrew â€" the seeming bestowal of noble rank upon a

person of lowly birth. Several examples of this type of comedy have

survived, and they include realistic depictions of all the popular

customs and grotesquely humorous situations that parody in many cases

the lofty themes of the "official" literature.[3]
