Faith, people and money. Fulnek monastery of Augustinian-canons and the lords between the Middle ages and the early modern period
Macháčová, Zuzana ; Zdichynec, Jan (advisor) ; Brčák, Marek (referee)
This thesis is devoted to the canonry of the Augustinian canons in Fulnek and its relations with the Fulnek nobility in the changing times. The emphasis is laid on the analysis and critical evaluation of the development of the encounters and struggles of the monastery with the hierarchy over time in it's connection to the confessional affiliations of the individual actors. The time frame of the thesis is defined by the period immediately preceding the foundation of the monastery, i.e. the foundation of the canonry by the Lords of Kravaře and the related processes in the 1480s on the one hand and the culmination of religious disputes in the country in 1620 with the Battle of White Mountain on the other. It covers both the medieval and early modern eras. The local microhistory is set in the broader context of the general ecclesiastical and political history of the Czech lands.

The establishment of the Bohemian province of the Order of Capucines during the first half of the 17th century. The image of Capuchin order during 1599-1618 in the narrative sources and correspodence of his supporters
Brčák, Marek ; Zdichynec, Jan (advisor) ; Valentová, Kateřina (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the history of the Capuchin order in the Czech- Austrian territory during 1599-1618 on the basis of a image, which was created by the narrative order sources and the correspondence of the order supporters. The first part of the bachelor thesis introduces the characterization of sources and the review of existing literature that deals with this theme. We then characterize the Capuchin order and its integration within the context of other monastic communities, because this information explains the behaviour of the Capuchins in the Czech-Austrian territory. We could not omit the Franciscan order and its history in this passage, because these also influenced the orientation and spirituality of the Capuchin order. The core of the bachelor thesis deals with the description of the Capuchin history in the Czech and Austrian countries. We follow two levels: provincial and conventual. We describe processes, which led to the establishment of the Czech-Austrian Capuchin province in the first part. The second level deals with the foundation of particular convents, their cults of saints and last but not least with their effect on the society at that time. We complete the information of the older historiography with plenty of sources, which were not yet studied. From comparison and analysis...

Brčák, Marek ; Mikulec, Jiří (advisor) ; Elbel, Martin (referee) ; Zdichynec, Jan (referee)
Full Name: Marek Brčák Thesis title: Capuchin Order and its activities in Bohemia and Moravia between 1673-1783 Abstract This dissertation deals with the history of the Capuchin order in Czech-Moravian territory during 1673-1783. The year of the establishment of the Czech-Moravian Capuchin province is 1673. In 1783, this province was divided into a Czech and a Moravian province; this led to the establishment of two new independent provinces of the Capuchin order. At the same time the upper time limit coincided with the religious reforms of Joseph II., which had essential influence on activities of the Capuchin order. The first chapter introduces a review of the existing secondary literature that deals with this theme, analysing and explaining the methodology used in the thesis. The second chapter describes historiography and archival databases that existed in the Czech-Moravian Capuchin province, which contributed to the formation of collective memory. This chapter also portrays concrete institutions which keep records in their archives on the history of the Capuchin order. The history of the Czech-Austrian Capuchin province is covered in the third chapter. This period witnessed significant progress in admission of new members to the Capuchin order; therefore the thesis examines the national origin of the...
