Some places turned into a home for numerous groups of higher-state members. This study examines the seven towns and market-towns in Western and Central Bohemia. It is possible to rank the most of the nobleman there as the lower nobility, from the titular and property point of view. This study addresses the important issues: seated nobleman as town-community member and residences of such a nobleman. The nobleman had to submit to certain norms and authorities.

Koryta, David ; Zilynská, Blanka (advisor) ; Čechura, Jaroslav (referee)
In the posthussite period the noble mentality was quite changed. One of the expessions of the change was the endeavour to keep the dominion's economy at the directional principle. It was necessary to establish as perfect dominion's administrative and financial system as possible. From this reason the nobility began to issue the economic instructions - short manuals to administrations of dominion. This work follows the development of the economic instructions in their early phase (to the half of 16th century). It analyses the particular copies included in the edition of Josef Kalousek Czech Archive vol. XXII: Peasant orders and economic instructions 1350-1626 (Archiv český XXII: Řády selské a instrukce hospodářské 1350-1626) which are included in this period.

Paták, Josef ; Čechura, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Štaif, Jiří (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to examine and describe the migration of the subject population of the South Bohemian village of Dynín between 1661 and 1740. The analysis is based on a unique source, the 1661-1839 lists of subjects of the Třeboň dominion. The thesis uses the lists to restore lives of individual subjects. It compares the migration of the population in order to distinguish and describe five basic kinds of migration. The thesis aims to present the variability of migration. It suggests that migration and mobility of the subject population is a very complex topic that should not be simplified. The thesis examines the process of leaving the village and joining the army, which was particularly common in the 1730s. The work also compares the data provided by the lists of subjects with the information obtained from the parish and estate registers.
