Tobiáš z Benešova (Thobias of Benešov). Bishop - Manciple - Politician
Trojan, David ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Klápště, Jan (referee)
Anotation The Bohemian kingdom lost its ruler and shortly after that the throne of St. Adalbert lost its bishop; Tobias of Benešov (bishop 1278-1296, known as Tobias of Bechyně) succeeded Jan III. in hardly enviable conditions under the regency of Ota's V. of Brandenburg. Despite that (or maybe thanks to that) he succeeded in continuing the reform of the Diocese of Prague not only in the ecclesiastical management, but also in settling the individual bishopric's districts' issues of property and economic. A set of more than 200 formularies, also known as The Formulary of Tobias of Bechyně, as well as further first-hand or indirect sources, allow us to recognize those issues. This section comprises of an economic history in a narrower sense and also the history of settlement, archaeology and other related branches. As the name suggests, I intend to view Tobias' personality mainly from three essential points of view - firstly as an administrator of the diocese who is responsible for the condition of his subordinate and entrusted clergy, secondly as a responsible administrator of a large property domain and finally as a politically active person. The position of the bishop as the head of the local church necessarily depended on his political assets - especially in the kingdom - financial security and the...

The Magdeburg law in the towns of northwest Bohemia in pre-Hussite period
Mareš, Jan ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Bobková, Lenka (referee) ; Sulitková, Ludmila (referee)
The beginnings and propagation of the Magdeburg Law in the Czech lands in the Middle Ages are in the centre of attention of historical sciences since the second half of the 19th century. The period of great interest in this theme ends in the middle of the last cen tury and there i s a change in the direction of conservation of older knowledge. A detailed look on notorious development trends in connection with use of different types of sources can open new possibilities for efforts concerning deeper cognition of one of the most important components of the so called medieval transformation. The Magdeburg Law is a phenomenon transgressing borders of contemporary as well as medieval states in Centra!- and Eastern Europe, which is the reason to study it in the context of wider regions. Presented study incorporates three themes. The first chapter is dedicated to the analysis of the initial situation that existed in the thirteenth century in one of the most important cities of northwest Bohemia Litoměřice, the later head of a great family of cities of German town law. The starting point for an attempt to explore the Litoměřice law in the 13th century is a not preserved compilation of various legal regulations sent directly from Magdeburg to Litoměřice in 1282. This is a rare case in Czech lands, which could be...

Amenities in Czech collegiate chapters in the mid-14th century (on the example of Stará Boleslav, Litoměřice and Vyšehrad)
Pátrová, Karin ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Doležalová, Eva (referee) ; Bláhová, Marie (referee)
Majetkové zázemí českých kolegiátních kapitul prodělalo od svého vzniku značné proměny. Zpočátku byl kapitulní majetek užíván společně všemi kanovníky, jak naznačují zakládací listiny nejstarších českých kolegiát, v nichž jsou donace adresovány kapitulám jako jednotné instituci. Zatímco o společném soužití kanovníků pod jednou střechou panují určité pochybnosti, svůj majetek získávala kapitula skutečně jako celek. Někdy mohl být zvýhodněn představený kap i tu ly, l když tato praxe již odporovala původním ideálům. Jak kanovníci tento společný majetek užívali, není zcela jasné (zda se scházeli u jednoho stolu, což asi v případě ženatých kanovníků nepřicházelo v úvahu, nebo zda každý kanovník dostával nějaký procentuální podíl). V průběhu 12. a 13. století dochází k výrazným změnám ve skladbě kapitulního majetku a dosud společné jmění je rozděleno mezi jednotlivé kap i tuláry, kteří si své díly sami spravují a užívají jejich výnosy. Z kapitulního zboží se vydělují prebendy jako hmotné zajištění pro jednotlivé kanovníky, vedle toho pak zůstává část zboží nadále ve společném užívání celé kapitulní korporace, které slouží k zabezpečení provozu kostela a jeho výbavě, k vyplácení příspěvku kanovníkům přítomným v kapitulním kostele při bohoslužbách, případně jsou jako tzv. obedience pronajímány jednotlivým členům...

History of the Moravian branch of house Žerotín until the late Middle Ages.
Kamler, Jiří ; Bobková, Lenka (advisor) ; Žemlička, Josef (referee)
(in English): There are not many of the original Moravian noble families that have been ranked among the high nobility in history. One of them is the Žerotín family, whose origins and development until the beginning of the 15th century is devoted to the following work. The first written mention of the family comes from the end of the 12th century, when their connection to the Moravian Margrave or the Czech King, typical for the nobility, is already evident. In the 13th century, the first phase of the expansion of family possessions and the expansion of the original family of Bludovicové into two branches - jičínská, which at the beginning of the 14th century died out and the šumvaldská, which in the 14th century acquired the village of Žerotín, after which the family later wrote. Throughout the period under review, the family did not exceed the Morava region, but in several cases it managed to assert itself into the structures of the provincial administration, whether in the administration of landlords or in the judicial area, etc. The ancestors of the Žerotín family did not stand aside and their contacts with the prominent ecclesiastical and religious communities, secular representatives of Moravia, or the whole kingdom, were evident, though sometime sporadically. In the course of the 14th...

The Origins and Rise of Lords of Házmburk
Gerleová, Jana ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Drška, Václav (referee)
Nowadays, study of Czech nobility is one of the most popular topic in historiography. For historical research, there are a number of aristocratic families whose development, genealogy, property relations and ties to the king's court have not yet been elaborated in more detail. This was the reason why I chose genus of the Buzic with the focus on the Lords of Valdek as a topic for my bachelor thesis. Members of the Buzic family surrounded Czech princes and kings from the beginning of the Czech "state". We can find the notes and informations about them in many diplomatic and narrative documents. I decided to continue with the research of the history of this family also in my diploma thesis. My thesis focus primarily on the next part of this family, the Lords of Žebrák. Also among them there was many interesting and notable nobles. One of the most important was Zbyněk Zajíc of Žebrák. In the thirties of the 14th century he changed the castle Žebrák and the villages that belonged to this castle with King Jan of Luxemburg for the castle Budyně and the others villages. The Budyně domain was smaller but more profitable than Žebrák domain. Zbyněk also bought from the King the castle Klapý, which is nearby Budyně castle, and he renamed it after his nickname like Házmburk (in German: the hare castle). This...

Marková, Markéta ; Bláhová, Marie (advisor) ; Žemlička, Josef (referee) ; Lukačka, Ján (referee)
This doctoral thesis deals with the border as a geographical phenomenon in medieval Central Europe. It seeks to answer questions about what is a border, why and how it was created and how its understanding has developed. It deals with ways of delineating an area, boundary signs and rituals. It also explores the course and the concept of borders especially in Central Europe in the Middle Ages but also takes into account the situation of the both earlier and younger periods. It pays attention to the land border of Bohemia and Moravia but also to the borders within the Czech Lands in comparison with similar examples from Central Europe. The work is based on an evaluation of written and material sources concerning the border and combines methods and practices of multiple disciplines: it is based on the results of studies in archaeology, legal history, settlement history, historical geography, general history and auxiliary historical sciences.
