The Song of the Killing of Andrzej Tęczyński (or: Poem on the Killing of Andrzej Tęczyński, inc. And what evil people are the burghers of Kraków... Polish: Pieśń o zabiciu Andrzeja Tęczyńskiego) is an anonymous medieval occasional verse commemorating the murder of Rabsztyn starosta Andrzej Tęczyński committed by Kraków burghers on 16 July 1461. Originating from the late 15th century, the poem was recorded continuously in two columns on the final page of the Gesta principum Polonorum by Gallus Anonymus, once owned by Jan Długosz. It sides with the slain nobleman's family, calling for vengeance against the burghers. Artistically modest, it holds exceptional value as a literary record of a historical event and a monument of Polish literature. The genre of the Song is debated among literary historians. The poem was first transcribed in 1848. Its manuscript is held at the National Library of Poland in Warsaw.
