Holý, Martin ; Pánek, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Ledvinka, Václav (referee) ; Šedivá Koldinská, Marie (referee)
V úvodu své studie o rožmberských sirotcích na jindřichohradeckém a českokrumlovském zámku z roku 1989 vyslovil Jaroslav Pánek následující tezi: .. 0 výchově a vzdělávánífeudální aristokracie ... víme zatímjen velmi málo." 1 I když v polistopadovém období vývoje české historiografie výzkum řady aspektů dějin zejména vyšší šlechty v předbělohorské době (méně již v následujícím období) poměrně výrazně pokroči1,2 nelze říci, že by se stav bádání o výchově a vzdělávání české a moravské nobility výrazně posunul. 3 I proto bylo toto téma zvoleno v roce 2003 pro disertační projekt, jehož výsledky nyní předkládám. Důležitost tématu je vedle jeho merita dána i jeho úzkou souvislostí s některými jinými, z hlediska dějin českých zemí raného novověku přinejmenším na první pohled závažnějšími tématy. Jedním z nich byla dosavadním bádáním již poměrně dobře osvětlená klíčová role české a moravské šlechty v politickém, náboženském i kulturním životě českého pozdně jagellonského a předbělohorského státu.Odpověděl však moderní výzkum na všechny otázky, jež souvisejí s posouzením takové úlohy nobility? Nezdá se,že by tomu tak bylo. Přinejmenším jeden její aspekt totiž příliš nezohlednil. Domnívám se, že jím je právě problém výchovy a vzdělávání urozených. Vlastním cílem jakékoli výchovy a vzdělávání jedince v době jeho...

Andresová, Klára ; Šedivá Koldinská, Marie (advisor) ; Ďurčanský, Marek (referee)
The subject of this thesis is the problematics of the military camps of Christian armies in the Central Europe between 1550-1650. We focus on the camps of the Habsburg Monarchy and German lands, yet some space is given to the situation in Poland and Hungary. The introductory chapters consist of a characterization of the source material and an overview of the present state of research. Furthermore, excursuses into several topics related to the military camps of the early modern period are made. Thus, characterizations of the crucial war conflicts of the period, contemporary strategies and tactics, principals, composition and equipment of the armies, of the ranks, and of the life of soldiers are provided. The core of this work is an interpretation and comparison of treatises written by military theorists, who dealt with the problematics of camps, namely of the works by Jan Tarnowski, Guillaume du Bellay, Leonhardt Fronsperger, Lazarus von Schwendi, Giorgio Basta, Johann Jacobi von Wallhausen, and Raimondo Montecuccoli. Additionally, an analysis of the military orders of the Roman emperor Maximilian II and of the Swedish king Gustav II Adolf is supplied, followed by memoirs and diaries of soldiers of that era, and contemporary literary fiction. Although the thesis includes brief characterizations of...

Vilímcová, Zuzana ; Šedivá Koldinská, Marie (advisor) ; Holý, Martin (referee)
This work deals with non-political aspects of the life of Charles the Elder of Žerotín, which is not so mapped in detail contrary of the political life. I try to restore Charles's personal and private life base on the huge amount of his correspondence. I am concerned with Charles roles of loving husband, worried father, a good friend and counsellor, a deeply believed Christian, constantly sick man and also the master of his lieges people. I try to find answers on what Charles was the father. Whether he liked all his wives. How the religious coercion works on him. How to cope with the iniquities of his dominions. Whether or not hesitated to help friends in need, and how he coped with his illness. I try to find answers to these questions and more in the Žerotín's letters and selected correspondence of persons from its surroundings. I illustrates the whole picture by comparing the findings of earlier historiography.

Henyk of Valdstein. A profile of a noble intellectual from the era preceding the battle of White mountain
Bažant, Petr ; Šedivá Koldinská, Marie (advisor) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee)
For historians Prague during the rule of Rudolph II is one of the most attractive periods of Czech history. At the turu of the 16th and 17th centuries, the capital of the Czech kingdom had become an important metropolis. The presence of a secular head of the Christian world attracted foreign diplomats, rich merchants, skilled craftsmen and artists from alI over Europe. For the Czech aristocracy, Prague represented a political and social centre and they built magnificent palaces. Heightened demands in lifestyle stimulated by the imperial court surroundings lead to the acceptance of late Renaissance and Mannerist ideas. Although this related mainly to the wealthiest noblemen, it also concerued the less welI-off members of the nobility who kept reconstructing their country houses into Renaissance chateaus.
Life after Life. The Revenants in the Early Modern Period Bohemia Lands.
Chalupová, Helena ; Šedivá Koldinská, Marie (advisor) ; Mikulec, Jiří (referee)
The master's thesis deals with one of the specifics of the cultural history of the Czech lands in the Early Modern period - i. e. the general perception of the afterlife (approximately between 1500 and 1800) and revenant issues. A revenant is meant originally a human being, who, after his death, for various reasons returns to the light of the living world, with exhibits of material (revived corpses, zombies, vampires, fexts) and immaterial (spirits, white ladies, wild hunting). In this respect, the main source are Czech demonological legends. One part of the study is to evaluate the social, religious and cultural aspects that had effect on what was said above in the specific historical period. The main emphasis is placed on the individual cases of revenants in the Czech lands, preserved in historical sources, as well as comparison with the same case in other European countries. The study will also focus on the description of biographies of historical personalities, drawing conclusions about what may have caused the conviction of being revenant.

The main topic of the thesis is William Slavata of Chlum and Košumberk. The most important information about his life and career in many significant provincial and royal offices is summarized at the beginning of my thesis, which is divided into five chapters. The third chapter, which follows after the introduction, list of sources of literature and explanation of key terms, describes the development of a prominent clan of Slavata of Chlum and Košumberk, whose origins according to the oldest historical sources can be traced back to the turn of the 11th century. Moreover, I linked the history of Slavata of Chlum and Košumberk clan with geographical context by adding detailed description of clan residences in the Kingdom of Bohemia. The fourth chapter deals with Vilém Slavata of Chlum and Košumberk himself, illustrating the everyday life of a high nobility representative. The fifth chapter gives information on the picture depicting the life of Count Vilem Slavata as well as other important events of this era in art.
Preacher and exemplum between scholar and popular culture in early modern period
Tomášek, Vojtěch ; Šedivá Koldinská, Marie (advisor) ; Mikulec, Jiří (referee)
This study deals with a two terms used in the context of culture and social history: the preacher and the exemplum. We depart from six Czech ear1y modem sermons published in the 17th and 18th century, especially from specific parts of them, those in which we can find those short moralizing stories, exempla. We analyse exemplum in its oral form as an communicative point between the preacher and his audience in the larger context of communication between a scholar and popular culture. Here we present sermonic exemplum as a specific type of ear1y modem medium. This study would attempt to outline some features of this communicative situation, especially preacher' s tendency to reform and discipline some aspects of everyday life in his community, that is everyday common problems of man and woman, problems of distributing gender roles and interconnected problems of drinking, domestic violence and sexuality. We have found two specific ways of communication preacher uses in exemplum: direct satire and tendentional description of ritua1. Speaking of the second one we expose the specific method, by which our preacher tries to change positive meaning of traditional ritual into the negative one. Therefore we c1aim that preacher wants to persuade his audience of absurdity inherent to use of some medical or magical...
