Česáková, Markéta ; Ebelová, Ivana (advisor) ; Sulitková, Ludmila (referee)
Two the oldest Manuals of the reeve's office of the town of Nachod are in the focus of this diploma work. These municipal official books were collected between the years 1603-1632 and 1626-1636. The content of the books as well as their form represent very important source to the history of the municipal administration in the first half of the 17th century. In regard to the juridical history they bring out an interesting testimony of application so called Koldin's municipal law in legal system of the early-modern vassalage town. The aim of the diploma work is to do both the paleographic and the diplomatic analysis, as well as the content analysis of those archive sources. The description of the external features of the Manuals of the reeve's office, typolgy of the written records and identification of the municipal scribes as individuals and finding out their positions in the municipal office organization is the main target of paleographic and diplomatic analysis. The main target of the content analysis is standardization of the registered legal acts. Sense of that is to define closer the reeve's competences as a municipal authority in the first half of the 17th century. Keywords: municipal official books, manuals of the reeve's office, municipal administration, reeves, Nachod, 17th century, paleographic...

The Testamentary Practice in Jihlava in the Years 1578 - 1624 (Wills as Sources for the History of Family Structures, Historical Demography and Sociotopography)
Jirková, Pavla ; Maur, Eduard (advisor) ; Horský, Jan (referee) ; Sulitková, Ludmila (referee)
THESIS ABSTRACT The subject of the research - the Early Modern burgher will - is viewed in the thesis from the standpoint of family structures, historical demography and sociotopography. The sample of 968 Jihlava wills from the period 1578-1624 were subjected to statistical analysis. Moreover, from a methodological perspective the nature of this research is similar to micro-historical and prosopographical approaches. The aforementioned theme was compared to conclusions of the literature concerning historical demography and family structures (especially English) as well as foreign sociological and anthropological studies. The results of this research were evaluated from the point of view of the annual number of wills as possible indicators of the chief trends in mortality, and possible connections were traced between the number of children named in the testaments and the inheritance system. Given the numerous marriage contracts concluded by testators, the study also looked into the "marriage market" and the duration of marriages. Other questions discussed in the thesis include, for example, family and household positions, disabled people, gender studies and intergenerational property transfer. Finally, in terms of the sociotopographical study, the houses of sorted testators were located within the framework...

The Magdeburg law in the towns of northwest Bohemia in pre-Hussite period
Mareš, Jan ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Bobková, Lenka (referee) ; Sulitková, Ludmila (referee)
The beginnings and propagation of the Magdeburg Law in the Czech lands in the Middle Ages are in the centre of attention of historical sciences since the second half of the 19th century. The period of great interest in this theme ends in the middle of the last cen tury and there i s a change in the direction of conservation of older knowledge. A detailed look on notorious development trends in connection with use of different types of sources can open new possibilities for efforts concerning deeper cognition of one of the most important components of the so called medieval transformation. The Magdeburg Law is a phenomenon transgressing borders of contemporary as well as medieval states in Centra!- and Eastern Europe, which is the reason to study it in the context of wider regions. Presented study incorporates three themes. The first chapter is dedicated to the analysis of the initial situation that existed in the thirteenth century in one of the most important cities of northwest Bohemia Litoměřice, the later head of a great family of cities of German town law. The starting point for an attempt to explore the Litoměřice law in the 13th century is a not preserved compilation of various legal regulations sent directly from Magdeburg to Litoměřice in 1282. This is a rare case in Czech lands, which could be...

Rokycany town administration and it's representatives between 1573-1699
Hrachová, Hana ; Hojda, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Sulitková, Ludmila (referee) ; Ledvinka, Václav (referee)
In the early modern age the town of Rokycany belonged to the smaller towns with an economy characterized by crafts and agriculture. In the 16th century the city started to bloom remarkably. Because of its loyalty shown to Ferdinand I, the town wasn't affected by the sanctions of that ruler, but was instead granted many privileges. In 1547 Rokycany became a free royal town. The above treatise discusses and follows the evolution of the town administration, the purpose of the single offices and its personnel. The most important administrative institution of the town was the municipal council with legislative, jurisdictional and executive powers. The town's economies and the administration of the town's property belonged also to the duties of the council. The municipal council counted twelve counsellors; its most prestigious member was called primate. Every counsellor was in charge of the government of the town for the period of one month, during this period he used the title of burgomaster. In the examined period of time, 19 men became primates and the majority of them kept the tile lifelong. Three men worked as imperial town magistrates In the period preceding the Battle of the White Mountain two primates managed with their eminence to reach fame also outside the town. That is Jan Novoměstský Srnovec from...

Burgers, their communities and elites in Brno in the pre-Bílá hora period
Sulitková, Ludmila
The "case study" focused on two main problem categories, i.e. on distinguishing between burgers of lower and higher legal categories in everyday life of a town in the Early Modern Period and on content of the term municipal community (in a larger sense as community of all burgers, in a narrower sense as grouping of burgers of lower legal category in the opposition towards councillors, or even in the narrowest sense as a specific leading force of the town community usurping the right to represent interests of the whole municipal community).
