Černín from Chudenice and their seat in western Bohemia in the 17th century
KONČAL, Štěpán
The aim of the thesis is to scrutinize the Černín family from Chudenice, which until the estate uprising in 1618 did not belong to any significant Czech noble family. However, the already mentioned estate uprising followed by the battle of White Mountain, together with the confiscations of the property of the defeated, were turning points in the history of the Černín family. The loyalty of some representatives of the family and the confiscations after the battle of White Mountain helped the family in terms of wealth growth. The Černín family from Chudenice became one of the richest and most influential noble families in Bohemia after the battle. This work first introduces the family with its brief development and history. Further on examines the network of Černín family settlements during the 17th century with a particular focus on western Bohemia, where the family originates.
