The thesis deals with the education in austrian aristocratic families in the 19th century and in the 1st half of 20th century. The education and upbringing of children had been influented by plenty of factors. The most important factors, which influenced education, were the environment (home or boarding school), specialization of education, the selection of schools and universities and the language of education, too. Parents, nannys and private teachers also had some influence on the upbringing of the children. In the 19th century we can find some common characteristic in some of the noble families (The Schwarzenbergs, the Sternbergs, the Mensdorffs and some others). The 1st half of the 20th century is an essential period for the history of aristocracy. Political changes reflected in its lifestyle and partially in the upbringing and education of the children of the aristocrats. These changes are illustrated on the education of children in the family of prince Johann Schönburg-Hartenstein. Keywords: aristocracy, childhood, education, languages, parents, nannys, teachers, schools, the Schwarzenbergs, the Schönburgs, the Mensdorffs.

Kubíčková, Irena ; Šedivá Koldinská, Marie (advisor) ; Holý, Martin (referee)
The main topic of the thesis called "Cavaliers on the journey through Europe and time. Traveller reflexions of three Bohemian aristocrats from the beginning of the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th century" is an insight into the life and way of thinking of three early modern Bohemian aristocrats - travellers (Bedrich from Donin, Lev Vilem from Kounice and Krystof Vaclav from Nostice) through their literary work from their journeys. The main sources for this thesis were three contemporary travel books or rather travel diaries available to the wide public of researchers by the editions. The main subject of my research is to display and analyse the intellectual world of aristocrats-travellers on the basis of some specific categories and aspects characteristic to their literary works (social status, religion, age, type of journey and itinerary, representative retinue, the main spheres of their interest and attention, language form and stylistics, composition, etc.). The presented thesis also focuses on demonstrating the many-sided use of travel diaries and points to this specific type of document as a peculiar historical source. Key words: early modern era, travelling, travel books and travel diaries, czech lands, aristocracy

The Life of an Aristocrat on Noble Residence in the 19th Century, on the Example of Fürstenberg
Kaucká, Kristýna ; Županič, Jan (advisor) ; Horčička, Václav (referee)
1 Abstract The Bachelor's thesis deals with the way of life of the Austrian empire aristocracy in the 19th century, namely the Fürstenbergs of the Křivoklát-Lány lineage. It focuses on the important moments in lives of the aristocrats (marriage policy within the Austrian upper classes, family preservation strategies etc.). In the time of great social changes and weakening of the traditional roles of the aristocrats, choosing partners only within the members of aristocracy seemed to be an appropriate solution, how to maintain the existence of this social elite even in the future. The thesis also analyses the circumstances concerning the reconstruction of the castle Křivoklát after the fire in 1826, during which the specialists started to play increasingly more significant role. The context of the contemporary trends and different opinions on architecture are also taken into consideration. Another important part of this work is the issue of nationality, which is closely connected with the role of German aristocracy within the ethnically tensed society of the 19th century. One of the objectives is to describe social changes after 1848 as well. To be more specific, the change in authorities-subjects relationships resulted in enormous amount of money in the hands of the nobility, later using this capital for...
