While Count John ‘the Blind’ is celebrated as a national hero in Luxembourg, in 1939 the Czech historian J. Šusta famously coined his image as the ‘King Foreigner’ (král cizinec). In fact, due to the murder of the last male Přemyslid, Wenceslas III, for the first time in history, the Kingdom of Bohemia was forced to elevate to king a representative of a non-Bohemian dynasty. To what extent was the first Luxembourg on the Bohemian throne considered ‘foreign’ in fourteenth-century Bohemia? What factors did his contemporaries use to define a potential otherness? The paper shows the phases of the rule of John of Luxembourg where the aspect of ‘foreignness’ determined public discourse, and the goals various groups of actors intended to achieve by recourse to it.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The article focuses on the development of the network of Jesuit pharmacies across the Habsburg Monarchy and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth from the early seventeenth century to 1773. This process occurred under social, political, and economic circumstances that favored the creation of religious pharmacies rivaling secular ones. Against this background, the author analyses a group of more than six hundred Jesuit apothecaries from the Habsburg Monarchy and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. He adopts a prosopographic approach based on the full set of personnel catalogs from the Austrian, Bohemian, Polish, and Lithuanian provinces, analyzed through RStudio, an integrated development environment based on the R programming language. The research focuses on the total number of Jesuit pharmacists in each province, their regional distribution, mobility, and geographic origin. Although the first Jesuit pharmacies emerged in Poland, the Bohemian Province had the largest number of apothecaries and pharmacies for most of the analyzed period. The total number of pharmacies increased until the mid-eighteenth century. At that time, it began diminishing due to restrictions introduced by Austrian authorities, which, however, were consistently applied only in the Czech part of the Habsburg Monarchy. In turn, Jesuit pharmacies in Poland–Lithuania thrived until 1773. Overall, the article demonstrates the crucial role of Bohemians and Silesians, who joined not only the Bohemian Province but also the Austrian and Polish ones, thus contributing to the dissemination of medical knowledge across Central-Eastern Europe. It also challenges the traditional historiographic thesis that the Counter-Reformation policies implemented by the Habsburgs in the Kingdom of Bohemia after the Battle of the White Mountain (1620) caused the neglect of sciences and cultural stagnation.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this article is to address the controversial issue of the status of the Utraquist Church in the Kingdom of Bohemia in consequence of the drafting of the Bohemian Confession in 1575. The chronological scope is limited to the period up to 1609, when the issuance of the Letter of Majesty in 1609 formalized the gentlemen's agreement of 1575 and altered the ecclesiastical structure accordingly. According to Czech historiography, the parliamentary action of 1575– which granted toleration, albeit tacit and conditional, to the Lutherans and the Bohemian Brethren—represented a moment of truth for traditional Utraquism, which dated to the original Bohemian Reformation. On the one hand, the Utraquists' choice was to reaffirm its late medieval reformist tradition that preserved the traditional liturgy (including the seven sacraments), a belief in the sacramental episcopate and priesthood in a historic apostolic succession, and the belief in the efficaciousness of good works in the drama of salvation. On the other hand, their choice was to embrace the Lutheran Reformation, which rejected all the doctrines just enumerated.

THE OBVIOUS AND NOT SO OBVIOUS BORDERS IN THE GIANT MOUNTAINSStretching over ca 36 km, the Giant Mountains Krkonoše/Karkonosze range is a naturalborder between Silesia and Bohemia, today between Poland and the Czech Republic. In the late Middle Ages and the beginning of the early modern period, i.e. when the highest range of the Sudetes separated two provinces of the Kingdom of Bohemia, its role as border mountains was notas important, although it was precisely a border dispute between Bohemian Harrach and Silesian Schaffgotsch lords of these lands that increased interest in the region, laying the foundations, in a way, for the development of tourism in the future. Side effects of the border dispute included St. Lawrence Chapel on Śnieżka and spread of the popularity of the source of the Elbe, i.e. sites that have remained the most frequently visited spots in these mountains to this day. Around the mid-18th century, when, as a result of wars, most Silesia was incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia, the Giant Mountains border grew in importance. From that moment the highest range of the Sudetes would separate lands ruled by two different dynasties — the Austro-Bohemian Habsburgs and the Prussian Hohenzollerns, with two different and hostile religions — Catholic and Lutheran. Having become more significant, the border began to appear in literary works, from Enlightenment period travel accounts to popular novels. The author of the present article discusses literary images of this border, using several selected examples.

Full textAbstract:
The Bohemian Nobility and Foreign Policy in the Middle Ages The subject matter comprises to basic topics: the first is the role of the nobility in the foreign policy of the kingdom (or of the Bohemian kings), and the second the actual “foreign policy” of noble families, that is their private international contacts. They were interlinked — contacts stemming from the fact of holding an office in overseas diplomacy were inextricably connected to personal and family ties. The common denominator was not only geographical reach beyond borders, but also the unique phenomenon of (foreign) travel, inspiration and cultural exchange in a broad meaning of the term, reflected in the royal court milieu as well as private courts of the nobility; the social status of a nobleman and a noble family depended equally on ties to the royal court and on the involvement in provincial structures and hierarchies, including cross-border links, which among the Bohemian nobility date largely to the turn of the fourteenth century. The rituals, ceremonies, settings and means of expressions used for the purpose of self-presentation of the nobility were basically identical in the Bohemian and the foreign milieus, and as such they constituted a social capital that was universally accepted and “understood” by all. To this we should add the links between the Bohemian and foreign nobility in the form of partial contacts, shared interests or family ties. An important question is that of foreign travels of the Bohemian nobility in the twelfthseventeenth centuries reflecting the nobility’s overseas contacts. We find Bohemian noblemen in the entourage of the monarch and as direct representatives of the monarch — the king of Bohemia, on whose behalf they appeared at the courts of secular and ecclesiastical rulers. Territorially, foreign travels (and contacts) of the Bohemian nobility encompassed almost the entire Europe, with the focus being on the neighbouring German lands, Austria and, of course, Silesian duchies. The horizon of Central Europe went beyond pilgrimages and educational travels. Another phenomenon was late medieval military (mercenary) activity of the Bohemian nobility

Full textAbstract:
The development of the management of Czech bodies of water is monitored through the file material of the Czech Land Diet and the Land Committee of the Kingdom of Bohemia from the second half of the 19th century. The analysis is primarily of commemorative dossiers created by the so-called “interested parties” and expert inquiry commissions appointed by the diet. At the same time, stenographic protocols from the meetings of the Bohemian Land Diet from the 1860s to the 1880s are used, from which it is possible to deduce the disputes over jurisdiction over Bohemian rivers between the land and the empire. These sources are supplemented by an authentic, but very critical view of one of the actors in the construction of waterworks in Bohemia, who gained professional experience in Prague, Vienna as well as in district water authorities. The constant postponement of water management projects for decades, or rather until the next flood, and their constant revision will be commented on here by Ing. Emil Zimmler, who wrote his assessments of the very complicated cooperation between the land and the empire in waterway matters in his engineering memoirs.

Full textAbstract:
The composite state of the Spanish Habsburgs had a fading military, financial and diplomatic predominance in Central Europe in the first half of the seventeenth century. The Bohemian and Hungarian aristocracy was, to varying extents, integrated into the Spanish Habsburg system. This article presents three forms of integration and diplomatic relationship. First, it examines diplomatic and political encounters in the main governmental bodies and diets advising the emperor in decision-making, or more specifically, in the Imperial Privy Council in Vienna and during the diets of the kingdom of Hungary. Spanish Habsburg politicians and diplomats acted in many powerful ways to establish connections with Bohemian and Hungarian aristocrats so that they follow and adjust to their political agenda. Bohemian families (Slavata, Martiniz) had close relations and alliances with Spanish councilors in Vienna (who acted as ambassadors of the Spanish king), and several Hungarian aristocrats had interactions with them during the diets in order to secure the long-term interests of the dynasty in the Kingdom of Hungary. Second, the exchange, purchase, and influence of cultural goods and objects (e.g., books and gifts) and the ways in which these cultural goods were put to use, as well as the migration of people, show that the relationship went well beyond power politics and formal diplomatic relations. Personal and cultural influence and even early signs of acculturation can be clearly detected in several Bohemian and Hungarian families (e.g., the Forgách, Pázmány, and Zrínyi families), who ordered and read hundreds of books from Spanish Habsburg authors (including several books from Spanish Habsburg diplomats) and cities and exchanged diplomatic gifts with their Spanish counterparts. People, including influential figures (soldiers and nobles), also moved among Habsburg political centers, prompted by diplomatic or family relations between Spanish Habsburg politicians and Bohemian or Hungarian families. Third, information gathered in Vienna radiated to all Spanish Habsburg states in different layers of granularity, density, and confidentiality. Top Spanish diplomats could access and transmit classified documents and the texts of international contracts obtained from Central European aristocrats and events. They also sent thousands of reports to their superiors about general news in Bohemia and Hungary. At the same time, lower-ranking nobles often struggled to keep up with and understand international events and trends and failed to get information about the key results of wars and imperial diets, since they lacked access to the network and the seniority to exert adequate influence.

It is true that in Europe when it comes to writing broad-based surveys of their archaeology some countries have been more equal than others. The United Kingdom and Ireland probably hold the record, closely followed by the Low Countries. The Czechs also have a long tradition of publishing surveys in one or other of the major European languages, commencing with three slender but well-illustrated volumes with texts in French by the prehistorian Albín Stocký (1924, 1928, 1933). Then in 1961 appeared Czechoslovakia before the Slavs (Neustupný 1961), the English edition of the overview written by the father and son team of Evžen and Jiří Neustupný and published in the previous year (Neustupný & Neustupný 1960). In 1978 appeared a massive single-volume prehistory of Bohemia with a brief summary and captions to the illustrations in German (Pleiner & Rybová 1978). Most recently, from 2007 to 2008 the eight volumes of Archeologie pravěkých Čech appeared—and then disappeared; in a matter of months the entire print run had been sold.

Full textAbstract:
The house of canons regular in Roudnice nad Labem was founded 1333 by John IV of Dražice after his return from Avignon. It was a very important and richly supported monastery, which is demonstrated besides other things by the younger fragment of necrologium, dated 1458-1464 (State Regional Archive in Třeboň, fond Velkostatek Třeboň, registratura IA 3K β 28e). The thesis deals with the Bohemian illuminated manuscripts from the 2nd third of the 14th century from the library from Roudnice, which is quite unique between all the Bohemian houses of regular canons for the high percentage of illuminated manuscripts. The Missale of John of Dražice ( KNM XIII B 9) is an excellent example of some high quality manuscript in the time around 1340 in Bohemia. The ornamental initials show parallels to the recent Western European style. One of them, VD initial on the folio 57r, is filled by the coat-of-arms of the Dražice family, gold wine sprig with three leafs in the red field. But the most interesting is the canon leaf (65r), a classical representative of Central European linear style. The leaf was glued to its place. The same praxis we see in the slightly younger Missale of Chotěšov Monastery (NK XIV C 3). The canon leaf from Chotěšov (185v) is more delicate in its colors and forms, distinctly knowledgeable of...

Full textAbstract:
After Jagiellonian dynasty ascended to the throne of Bohemia and especially at the time of permanent absence of the King in the land, the political ambitions of the estates of Bohemia, particularly the lords and knights, intensified. The estates strived, among other things, for codification of the land constitution which they succeeded in the beginning of the 16th century when the King issued the so-called Land Constitution of Vladislaus II. (Vladislavské zřízení zemské). At the same time, the estates also made an inventory of archives of the Crown deposited at Karlštejn castle, which is known as the Matouš of Chlumčany's Registry of Ten Coffers (Registrum desíti truhlic). These documents prove the power of bohemian nobility, who attempted to consolidate their position in judicial and administrational system of the country. At the same time they represented themselves as co-responsible political unit, alongside the King, which works for the good of the Kingdom and the whole Lands of the Bohemian Crown. My diploma thesis pursues the gradual growth of power of the bohemian nobility, who wanted to consolidate their position not only at the expense of royal cities, but also of the power of the King himself. The accent is mainly given to the most influential persons or aristocratic groups who...

0 ABSTRACT In my thesis I focus on the political situation in the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Kingdom of France during the Great Western Schism, particularly its first two thirds. I put emphasis on the personality of Honoré Bovet, who was a diplomat and a messenger of the French king and who visited the court of the Bohemian king, Wecleslas IV. in 1399 My work is based on primary and secondary sources and scientific and specialised literature concerning the subject mentioned above. In addition I made use of my one- semester study program in France where I attended the lectures of and consultations with French medieval historians. First I describe in the thesis the ecclesiastical and political situation in both kingdoms. The next chapters are dedicated to the personality of Honoré Bovet and his writings related to his opinion on the Great Western Schism and the church in general. As a result of the research I present a general attitude of the French Kingdom to the Bohemian Kingdom, particularly king Wenceslas IV, in the period of the Great Western Schism and the dual papacy. Moreover, based on his writings I express Bovet's view of the Schism and the personalities involved in the Schism.

Land Government in Bohemia in Relation to the Public between 1900-1908 Abstract At the beginning of the 20th century, the term Czech Kingdom referred to one of the crown lands forming the "West half" of the Habsburg monarchy, called Cisleithania. The Czech Kin- gdom was a public corporation which participated in implementing public administration. Its activities included mainly administrative tasks and to a limited extent also tasks related to exercising state power. The Czech Kingdom as a public body managed in the early years of the 20th century a very complex public agenda ranging from supervision and regulation of the subordinate self-governance bodies, significant activities related to public construction work, tasks related to education on the national level to tasks from the field of culture. Agricultural issues and tasks related to small scale business were of great importance. In 1890s, coalition of conservative nobility and Czech citizenship policy won a majority of parliamentary seats in the representative assembly of the Czech Kingdom. However, the coalition lost its position due to political changes in the civil bloc. The early years of the 20th century already saw long term escalation of the delicate Czech-German relations. This also impacted provincial politics in Bohemia. Despite complex...

The present M.A. thesis pursues the topic of hostageship for obligations in the Czech late Middle Ages, based on an analysis of epistolary correspondence, especially that between Ulrich II. of Rosenberg and his clients and opponents. Also examined are, for example, debt, purchase or mortgage agreements as a means which not only Ulrich II. tried to use for improving the bad financial situation of the house of Rosenberg. The study attempts to achieve a twofold objective: first, to clearly explain the individual terms that appear in the documents concerning the hostages, and second, based on case studies, to present an analysis of how the institute of hostageship worked in practice, with an emphasis on aristocratic honour and ties between the participants. From the methodological viewpoint, the analysis also shows that research into hostageship refines our understanding of how the Rosenberg clientele relations worked.

The diploma thesis deals with Ottoman invasions into Central Europe in the Pre-White Mountain period, bounded by the years 1526 (Battle of Mohács) and 1606 (the end of the 15-year war). The main focus is on the war operations in the Hungarian battlefields and the associated expeditions from the Habsburg constitution. The situation was not only about the warriors who experienced the battlefield, but also the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Bohemia, especially the Margraviate of Moravian. The representatives of the two groups experienced, until then, an unknown situation and had to somehow behave and react to it. The professional interpretation is continuously followed by the didactic part intended for secondary school teachers, which transforms the theme into a school substance. In conclusion, there is also a sample educational edition concerning about a dozen sources corresponding to the structure of the work.

The subject of the Masters thesis The Czech Kingdom in The Chronicle of Otakar of Styria is the history of Czech Kingdom in the Otokar of Styrias versified cronicle. The goal of this work is a comprehensive view of that cronicle as a historic source of cetral European history during the second half of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century. The Masters thesis includes an evaluation the relationships between the central European sources of that time. It investigates both, the knetty question of the autor's live story and his motivation for writing a work around 100 000 verses. In particular chapters, various social groups, which the author focuses on, are examined (royal houses, aristocracy, burgher class, people). No particular social group can be considered in isolation. Thier interrelations are highlighted in the thesis. Following section introduces Otakar's description of certain central European regions (Austria, Styria, Carinthia, Hungary, Polen and the Holy Roman Empire), which is the foundation of my attempt to discover the cronicler's source and information base. Used method is based on the analysis of cronicle sources and the study of historical materials. The history of the Kingdom of Bohemia results from the above mentioned circumstances. Based on this approach, the thesis of...

At the end of the 17th century, a small enameled cross was discovered in one of the royal graves in Saint Bendt's church in Danish Ringsted. According to the record of the administrator of the Danish Royal Treasury, the cross was found in the grave of the Danish Queen Dagmar - the daughter of the King of Bohemia, Ottokar I (+1230). Dagmar was married in 1205 to Valdemar II the Victorious, the King of Denmark. The cross - today exhibited at the National Museum in Copenhagen - is undoubtedly a Byzantine work. Most probably, it was made in the first half of the 12th century. It is so- called enkolpion, i.e. the hanging cross (gr. Έγϰόλπιου, on the chest). Both its sides are decorated with figurative scenes. The crucifixion of the Christ is depicted on one side. The Great Deēsis with St. Basil the Great and St. John Chrysostom is shown on the other side. There is a hollow in the body of the cross, in which a relic was deposited - most likely a particle of the wood of the True Cross. Although the Queen Dagmar's Cross is considered a national treasure in Denmark, only a little attention has been paid to it so far. It is almost unknown to the Czech researchers (it is briefly mentioned by J. E. Wocel, A. B. Černý, J. Květ, K. Chytil and most recently P. Balcárek). Regrettably, the most of researchers only...

DOCTORAL THESIS Ivana HERGLOVÁ --- KINGDOM OF BOHEMIA - NEIGHBOUR OF BAVARIA IN THE LATE MIDDLE AGES AND IN THE EARLY MODERN TIMES --- Abstract --- The thesis is dedicated to research in the field of Bavarian-Bohemian relations, mainly in the field of politics, in the 15th and early 16th century. Main interest is given to the contacts between the Kingdom of Bohemia and the four partial duchies into which Bavaria was subdivided in this period - (Lower) Bavaria-Straubing, Bavaria-Munich, Bavaria-Landshut and Bavaria-Ingolstadt. The work is divided into four large parts. The first goes on the Hussite Wars (1419-1434/36). The second part analyses Czech royal election of the year 1440 and the motives of the selected candidate, the duke Albrecht III of Bavaria-Munich, to finally decline the election. This chapter is followed by a summary of the political cooperation between Czech kings Ladislaus Posthumus (1453-1457) and George of Podiebrad (1458-1471) and the duke Louis/Ludwig IX of Bavaria-Landshut. The last chapter of the thesis describes the attempt of the Bavarian dukes (of the now reunited Duchy of Bavaria) William/Wilhelm IV and Louis/Ludwig X to become the kings of Bohemia as a part of their competition for hegemony in the middle European region with the house of Habsburg.

Abstract This chapter focuses on the professors of the Utraquist University of Prague, typically referred to as magistri actu regentes or professores ordinarii. It focuses on a period spanning from the mid-fifteenth century and the final confirmation of the Utraquist character of the university, until its transfer to the Jesuits in 1622 following the defeat of the uprising of the Bohemian estates. In defiance of the majority of the non-Catholic population, the Clementinum came to represent a formidable competitor to Utraquist University. Consequently, masters sought to inform the public as much as possible about the university’s activities in order to strengthen social ties and attract not only more students but also influential patrons. The professors focused primarily on contacts with the royal court, officials of various administrative bodies of the Kingdom of Bohemia, and members of the municipal governments of royal towns, especially the four towns of Prague.

In the 1650s about a quarter of the new peacetime standing army of the Habsburg Monarchy (c. 5000 soldiers) served for a time in one of the castles on the Hungarian-Ottoman frontier. Organising the upkeep of these soldiers was coordinated by the central authorities in Vienna with the collaboration of the Bohemian and Austrian lands as well as the Hungarian Estates. The kingdom of Hungary – a theatre of war since the 1520s – participated in the Habsburg fiscal-military state primarily through the provision of resources in kind (grain and wine), rather with taxes paid in cash. Contractors drawn from among Hungarian magnates and military officers played a key role in this business.

Abstract Attitudes towards eccentricity were notably unstable in Parisian Bohemia. This ‘kingdom of eccentricity and misery’ was home to artists and writers struggling to make their living, who, though they often adopted a stance of social opposition, were firmly linked to the bourgeoisie. During the July Monarchy, eccentricity was generally portrayed positively as wilful nonconformism. An important performative strategy for artists and writers, it reflacted a new political and cultural climate following the collapse of the Restoration, and was associated with the Romantic movement of 1830, the Jeune-France, and a new body of writing preoccupied with modern life and urban experience.

This chapter assesses how Elizabeth Stuart was crowned Queen of Bohemia in Prague on November 7, 1619, three days after she had watched her husband Frederick V become the country's king. It soon became plain that Elizabeth, would not be taking a back-seat role in the government of Bohemia. Indeed, Elizabeth was no sooner crowned queen of this 'wretched and dangerous' kingdom than she found herself ruling it. The sequence of events that led to Elizabeth's keeping the home fires burning in Prague rather than Heidelberg had been set in motion years before. The chapter then recounts the Defenestration of Prague. It also looks at the two royal deaths which had a major impact on Elizabeth, though in greatly contrasting ways: first is that of the incumbent King of Bohemia, Matthias, and second is that of Elizabeth's mother, Anna. Ultimately, the arrival and coronation of Frederick and Elizabeth in Prague was greeted with positivity and poeticism, underlying which was the sense that they were fulfilling their destiny as the saviours of Protestantism.

Medieval towns played a significant role in the political and administrative development of the Kingdom of Bohemia. Although their emergence on our territory was considerably delayed compared to other European states, in which their continuity can often be traced back to ancient times, their importance is not diminished in any way. The aim of this study is to present the reasons for the creation of the medieval urban network of the Bohemian Kingdom, especially during the time of the king of Bohemia Přemysl Otakar II, whose person is strongly associated with the initiation of the foundation of towns and their development. As an example, attention will be focused on the East Bohemian town of Polička, which, with its location and internal layout, vividly demonstrates the motives that led Přemysl Otakar II to such an extensive foundational work.
