When the King Died. Regulation of Social Life during Court Mourning of the 17th and 18the Centuries
Hrbek, Jiří
The declaration of a land mourning after the death of one of the members of the ruling Habsburg dynasty manifested itself in the Czech lands in the banning of public celebrations and entertainment. This ban was costly not only to musicians and operators of pubs and theatres, but also to all subjects who were to realise that a tragic event had taken place. Instead of a time for entertainment and festivities, it was the period of services for the deceased to take place throughout the monarchy and whose central point was the main church of the diocese.
