The foundations of premonstratensian monasteries in the Central Europe until the beginning of the 13th Century. Filial foundations of Steinfeld and Dünnwald
Kremer, Jan ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Pařez, Jan (referee)
Presented diploma thesis is concerned with the foundation of the first czech premonstratensian houses in the 12th century, specially in relation to the central abbey of Prémontré, the premonstratensian general chapter and two mother houses of Steinfeld and Dünnwald in the Eifel region of Germany. The first chapter deals with the central role of the general chapter and the abbey of Prémontré. It describes the ways in which the general chapter has tried to control the other houses of the order. We can follow the contitutions of the order to the half of the 13th century. In the following text we are trying to describe the function of circaries and visitations. The second part is treating the life of the founder of Prémontré - Norbert of Xanten - whose life had a very strong influence on the whole order even after he was elected archbishop of Magdeburg in the year 1126. We are trying to explain how the abbey of Prémontré and its abbot Hugo of Fosse preserved the unity of the order in the following years. We are further concerned with the ideal of apostolic life in the order and with cura animarum, unity and diversity in the order. We are describing, how the premonstratensians spread across the whole Europe and what kind of places they inhabited. The following part is explaining the role of the women houses and...
The coronation ordines of Charles IV. as ritualized rulers programme
Žůrek, Václav ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Doležalová, Eva (referee)
The present diploma thesis is an attempt to find new ways of interpreting the Charles IV.'s coronation ordines text (Drdo ad coronandum regem Boemorum). The rudimentary analysis ofthis source was already accomplished by Josef Cibulka and it is precisely his work which served us as a basis. We attempted to take into account the contemporary medievalist literature which deals with coronation and intronization rituals in Europe abundantly. Even though the main topic of the contemporary works are rituals of the early Middle Ages, their conclusions can be helpful for our thesis as well. We have described the situation before Charles IV.' s acceSSlOn, especially the chronichlers' descriptions of the Přemyslid corronations. The analysis of these sources doesn't provide us sufficient information to decide whether a Přemysliďs coronation ordines text existed in the 13th century (surely not before) or not. Basing ourselves on the coronation ordines text analysis we have come to the conclusion that the Czech coronation ordines text was modeled on the ground of the Otonian coronation ordines text from the 10th century and was extended with several elements from the French ordines text from the 13th century which were created during the reign of Saint Louis IX. Beside the French inspiration, the Czech coronation ordines...

Košátková, Anna ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Doležalová, Eva (referee)
The bachelor thesis The Czech Kings in the View of Otocher of Styria deals with a chronicler, member of a Styrian lower nobility, and his view on the Czech kings Přemysl Otakar II. and Václav II. due to a monumentality of this Chronicle (nearly 98 000 verses in the middle high German). These thesis focuses on the Otochar's view on this two Czech kings in the examples of courteous festivities - the wedding of Ottokar II. of Bohemia and Margaret of Austria, Kunigunde of Brandenburg and Béla of Hungary, where was Ottokar II. of Bohemia as well. Others examples are wedding of Wenceslaus II. of Bohemia and Judith of Habsburg, the coronation of Wenceslaus II. in Prague and the Imperial Diet in Nuremberg at 16th November 1298. For a better explanation of the context, this thesis contains chapters about personality of Otochar of Styria and about the phenomenon of verse chroniks at the turn of thirteenth and fourteenth century. This thesis focuses to answer the question about Otacher's reception of some festivities and due to the question about picture of this festivities as well. Otacher of Styria doesn't focus on each of these festivity in the same intensity. In the case of the wedding of Ottokar II. of Bohemia, Otochar of Styria wrote a only short message. This brevity could support proposition about...

BOHEMIA, CARINTHIA AND TYROL UNDER THE RULE OF HENRY OF CARINTHIA (JAKUB RAZIM) ABSTRACT The aim of this dissertation is to describe the governing practice (Herrschaftspraxis) of Henry of Carinthia in Bohemia, Carinthia and, subsequently, especially in the Tyrol, in whose southern parts the power base of the Menhart dynasty was situated. The work focuses on four key features of Henry's rule - constructing consensus between ruler and elites, exploiting feudal rights, the use of mortgages, and the use of culture to project political themes. The analysis of the various power techniques used is divided into individual chapters drawing on sources previously unpublished or insufficiently explored. The first group consists of Tyrolean chancery registers (Tiroler Kanzleiregister) and accounts books (Tiroler Rechnungsbücher, alternatively Raitbücher), the second of Austrian court poetry. Following the initial introduction of the sources, bibliography and methodology used for dealing with this particular topic, the consensual context is introduced, within which the rule of Henry of Carinthia was conducted, ranging from informal consultations to deliberations of the royal council. A list of counsellors, along with short biographical sketches, is included. The third and the fourth chapters consider the role played by...

Klimek, Tomáš ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Semotanová, Eva (referee) ; Bolina, Pavel (referee)
The work deals with perception of space and orientation in the countryside in the Czech Lands from the beginning of the 12th century till the end of the 14th century. In the first part the author describes concrete aspects of perception of space in contemporary cosmological concepts. He defines the distinction between medieval view on space as a set of concrete places and the modern concept of absolute and unmarked space and analyzes reflection of concrete features of the medieval model in the texts from the Czech environment. As a part of analyzes of the space heterogeneity the author further deals with reconstruction of perception of woods as one of the types of medieval countryside. Historiography often attributes special position to woods in imagination of contemporary people. The author analyses existence of literal cliché presenting woods like hostile environment in narrative texts from the Czech cultural environment and the result is confronted with conclusions from interdisciplinary studies dealing both with the task of proportional representation of woods in medieval countryside and with it's development and with ways of economic use of woods. On this bases along with the interpretation of results from a specific analyzes of books of interrogation statements the author comes to the...

Tomášek, Jan ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Klápště, Jan (referee)
Key Words Polabian Slavs, Polabian area, Obodrite, Populus, Gens, Nacio, State, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Obotritic confederation tribes Abstract The thesis analyses and interprets the key events in the state-forming process of so-called Obotritic confederation tribes in 789 - 1178. It focuses on the analysis of written sources, which serve as a basis for three models of inter-tribal units in Polabian area. The thesis argues against the traditional evolutionistic point of view, which considers the confederation tribes to be the predecessors of early medieval states. The main focus of the analysis is put on the starting point form which the Obotritic state-forming process originated. The main question is whether the Obodrite, upon their first appearance in written history, were more federation of tribes or one large tribe, whose break-up at the turn of 9th and 10th century started a new phase of the process. For the next period, the thesis introduces unique model of so-called tribal state, created by the combined effects of various factors, such as location, political situation, social changes in 11th and 12th century etc. The inner and outer factors that lead to the break-up of the Obotritic tribe state in 1270s are discussed in the same manner. The last part of the thesis is an analysis of later...

Tomášek, Jan ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Klápště, Jan (referee) ; Izdný, Jakub (referee)
Submitted thesis deals with selected points from the development of the tribal society of the Polabian Slavs in the area called Slavic Polabia, i.e. the area between the Ore Mountains and the Lusatian Mountains in the south, rivers Elbe and Saale in the west, Baltic Sea in the north and river Oder in the east. The thesis is divided into the introduction and four longer chapters; together, they introduce the forms and manners of the medieval tribal society. The introduction defines the aims and methodology of the thesis, while also emphasizing the necessity to observe the diversity of each tribal societies, even in the context of the Slavic Polabia, which was supposed to be a home of the three big tribal societies or tribal confederations. Because of the differencies in the socio-political development of these three tribal confederations, the first chapter introduced its own proposition of periodization of the Polabian Slavs' history. This proposition is not based on the traditional criteria used by the older and contemporary medieval studies relying on the external factors, level of social differentiation or structural changes in the political system. The proposed periodization set a few development phases, which each of the tribal societies either passed or never reached. In its three parts (head,...
The second one, less important? - Comparison of the cadet branches of sovereign dynasties in Central Europe
Ekrt, Tomáš ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Zelenka, Jan (referee)
of the paper: Historiography pays different attentions to cadet branches of sovereign dynasties. Because of that some of them are well known to the public, while others are almost forgotten. Generally, they are considered less important. In my work I am paying attention to cadet branches of the Premyslid dynasty and cadet branches of other sovereign dynasties in central Europe. What were their relations with their ruling relatives? What were their marriage policies and their domains? Can we find any general tendencies in cadet branches of sovereign dynasties and were they really less important? I am trying to answer these and other questions in my work. Also, I am trying to introduce life stories of cadet branches. Key words: Middle Ages, cadet branch, Central Europe, Premyslides, Babenberger, Silesian Piasts
Tobiáš z Benešova (Thobias of Benešov). Bishop - Manciple - Politician
Trojan, David ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Klápště, Jan (referee)
Anotation The Bohemian kingdom lost its ruler and shortly after that the throne of St. Adalbert lost its bishop; Tobias of Benešov (bishop 1278-1296, known as Tobias of Bechyně) succeeded Jan III. in hardly enviable conditions under the regency of Ota's V. of Brandenburg. Despite that (or maybe thanks to that) he succeeded in continuing the reform of the Diocese of Prague not only in the ecclesiastical management, but also in settling the individual bishopric's districts' issues of property and economic. A set of more than 200 formularies, also known as The Formulary of Tobias of Bechyně, as well as further first-hand or indirect sources, allow us to recognize those issues. This section comprises of an economic history in a narrower sense and also the history of settlement, archaeology and other related branches. As the name suggests, I intend to view Tobias' personality mainly from three essential points of view - firstly as an administrator of the diocese who is responsible for the condition of his subordinate and entrusted clergy, secondly as a responsible administrator of a large property domain and finally as a politically active person. The position of the bishop as the head of the local church necessarily depended on his political assets - especially in the kingdom - financial security and the...
