Pařízková, Kateřina ; Holá, Mlada (advisor) ; Ebelová, Ivana (referee)
To the coronations which took place in Pre-White time, not enough attention has been paid yet. As it appears, enough accounts were preserved not only in contemporary prints but also in manuscript sources - in the works of chroniclers, in memories of persons present and above all in official and private correspondence. In addition to writen sources also material sorces and great part of iconographic sources have been preserved. The elaboration and evaluation of the sources to one of them, to the coronation of Matthias of Habsburg in Prague on May 23rd 1611, is a subject of the first half of this thesis. The coronation in the life of souvereign is a ceremony that generally certificates his leading position in the country. This ceremony customary is executed in accordance to the prede- terminated order. In case of the lands of Bohemian crown binding form has been set by coronation order of Bohemian kings Ordo ad coronandum Regem Bohemorum, prepared by Charles IV.

The wedding of Adam II. of Hradec and Catharine of Montfort
ŘÍHOVÁ, Jana
This thesis deals with the wedding of Adam II. of Hradec and Catharine of Montfort. In a connection with the wedding strategies in the early modern period, this thesis explains the choice of a bride which was very crucial in the aristocratic environment not only for the married couple but also for their wide social surrounding. Then this thesis focuses on the whole ritual of wedding celebration from the courtship to the bride's arrival to the castle in Jindřichův Hradec in 1574. The nobleman's need to represent his noble estate is reflected in this celebration and Adam II. spent a huge amount of money on this wedding even though his domain was highly in debt. The thesis also analyses the wedding poems written in honour of the married couple by humanistic poets. Latin poetry refers to the nobility and ancient origin of the noblemen of Jindřichův Hradec and emphasizes the continuation of the generation which could be achieved only by the posterity. The marriage is observed in a political and religious context of the period because it is closely related to the noblemen of Jindřichův Hradec who had numerous links to the House of Habsburg and also to the following religious development in Jindřichův Hradec, which were catholic thanks to the influence of Catherine of Montfort.

The Entry of Maximilian II into Vienna in 1552
IVANEGA, Jan
The work deals with the entry of Maximilian II into Vienna in May 1552. The work is based on theoretical suggestions of sociology, and by the range of examined questions it endorses attitudes of historic anthropology. The entry is analyzed on the basis of Barbara Stollberg-Rillinger methodological starting points. She understands the early modern period rituals as a symbolic communication area in which the hierarchy of society is mirrored. Research in Habsburg entries in the 16th century carried out by Václav Bůžek served for the comparison. The search was based on three Latin pieces written by two different authors dealing with the entry topic. The methodical and source attitudes are introduced in the first chapter. The entry is described as a subject of historic search and there is provided an outline of the historiography view on Maximilian II. The next chapter describes, on the basis of work with literature and the analysis of sources, the journey from Spain to Vienna. The next chapter represents the core of the work in which the creation of a picture of distinguished persons mentioned in the sources, especially Maximilian II, his wife Marry of Spain, and an important person in Maximilian{\crq}s escord Adam of Dietrichstein, is examined. The pieces authors{\crq} attitudes to the Turkish imperia are indicated at the same time. In the picture attachment a selection of Maximilian II portraits is provided. In these the identical elements with the ruler{\crq}s description submitted in the analyzed sources are searched. The conclusion of the work summarizes the results of the search. From the author{\crq}s point of view, the searched entry did not differ from the series of Habsburg fests. In the sources Maximilian II is celebrated as a member of a distinguished ancestry with an exceptional nobleness, a patron of art and a conqueror of Turks who is protected by a fairy hand.
