Musílek, Martin ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Dvořáčková, Dana (referee)
The historical research devoted only small focus on the entrapment of the Czech nobility. Generally, mainly the conclusions made by Josef Šusta had been taken into account. Specialists say that we have no chance to find something new in this subject of historical scholarship. Big deposits of silver were found near Kutná Hora during Václav's II rule. The hot symbiosis started up between the monarch and the tops of the patriciate. This friendship was bringing benefits to both of the sites of the symbiosis. The patriciates was able to do businesses and trades very easily, when the monarch stood by their side. In retum for this the patriciates was providing the valuable services to monarch, especially managing the royal chamber or helping in financial crisis. Helping in financial crisis became important during times of expensive and ambitious statesmanship of the last Přemysls. When the last of the Přemysls died, the prominent patriciates were starting to participate in political events that were shaking the whole kingdom. They were taking part in voting congresses, different missions; actually some of Czech pretendents tried to win the patriciates over. In these years the entrapment of the Czech nobility in Sedlec and in Prague also took place. When we evaluate the previous development, we have the question:...

Forest in life of medieval people on example of royal forest by Křivoklát
Trachtová, Nela ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Musílek, Martin (referee)
Wood was very important in life of medieval people. But its importance was changing in relation to social status of the person, who use the wood. King was hunting in forests, and it was a sovereigns, who began with hunting in the area of Křivoklát wood. The sovereigns founded many castles there, for example Křivoklát, Nižbor and Týřov, and the most important function of this castles that they where places, where it was possible to hunt. Sovereign was owner of this area, and he didn't want to give villages and other goods there. So we know, that the villages, which were given monasteries by princes and kings, were situated on the border of Křivokláts wood. We know gentry from Křivoklát too. There were some men, who were witness on the records of sovereign. We can name Zdeslav of Čistá, Vlček, Vacemil and Henry of Zvíkovec or Kuno of Kounov. By castle Křivoklát arose a system of royal man, which was founded by the king Přemysl Otakar II. There were two groups, the first were noble men and the second were low-born. Their duties were connected above all with defence of castle, but they had other duties too. Kings founded some cities too. In relation to area of Křivoklát played the biggest importance town Beroun and Rakovník. Beroun was a royal town, and inhabitans of Beroun could use woodland pasturage in...

Colonisation and church authorities in the theritory of historical Loket shire at 13th century
Konůpek, Jan ; Bobková, Lenka (advisor) ; Musílek, Martin (referee)
From the beginning of modern historical concern the 13th century has a stable position in all conceptions of the Czech history. There always was an actual era situation which showed in its evaluation. From middle of the 19th century until middle of the 20th century the arrival of new inhabitants from "German countries" and their proportion in building of houses and countrysides was the governing element of this interpretation. A number of authors occupied themselves by this issue, however, the basic interpretation scheme stayed more or less the same. Turn-over took place in the sixties when the European medieval change was observed by a different way. The range of questions and interpretative approaches radically changed. It reached the extension of geographical and time scope, in which the given changes were evaluated, the issue infliction into all-European context and the fundamental expansion of working methods of historiography.

Jewish Loans in Znojmo in the Middle Ages based on the Book of Reeve (1425-1426)
Holeček, Kajetán ; Zilynská, Blanka (advisor) ; Musílek, Martin (referee)
Jews were integral part of medieval urban society. For Christians, there was a widespread prohibition of lending money on interest, that's why were Jews focused on this part of urban economy. It is documented also in Znojmo, where are kept well preserved municipal books, containing records of Jewish credit from time span 1415- 1438. Based on these records we can analyse details of the loans: names of creditors and debtors, place of their origin, sums owed etc. Results of this analysis are noteworthy. As debtors, we can meet citizens and other residents of Znojmo and suburb, clergy, nobility, as well as artisans and peasantry. Based on the book from 1425-1426 I'll reconstruct the contacts between Jewish creditors and their debtors.

The Trade Contacts of Prague Burghers at the Turn of the 14th and 15th Century
Musílek, Martin
The presented text explores the trade contacts between Prague and Bern, and other cities of the Swiss confederation. Precious metal was chiefly exported from the Czech Lands to the Swiss cantons and Swabia, whether in the form of minted silver coins or raw precious metal. Trade was mediated through Nuremberg merchants. The concrete case of several Prague burghers-merchants exemplifies their status in the city, their financial backgrounds, and the mercantile and monetary contacts that were often linked up with foreign commerce houses, the ruling court milieu or the credit possibilities of the Prague Jews. Although during the Hussite Wars (1419–1434), trade with the heretical Bohemia was restricted, the Imperial and Papal trade embargo was frequently bypassed. In the course of the Hussite Wars, a new wave of exportation of Bohemian art objects abroad took place in connection with the emigration of Catholics, where these objects were either sold or deposited by the refugees “for better times”. Thus, the exportation of Bohemian art abroad did not cease even during the Hussite Wars.

Patrons, Clients, and Relatives: The Social World of the Old Town Prague in the 14th Century
Musílek, Martin ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Noga, Zdzisław (referee) ; Nodl, Martin (referee)
The present work focuses on the analysis of two main sources: the court book with market entries (Libri judiciorum or Libri contractuum), and lists of new city residents from the years 1324-1393. The text is divided into several chapters. Besides the description and presentation of the two main types of sources, a critical examination of the basic literature is undertaken, and the methodology of social topography is introduced. An outline of spatial mobility was created, including a basic topographical image of the city and its variations, though an examination of the Old Town real estate markets (especially houses and rural estates). Attention was given to the topographic situation of the Jewish Town, which formed an important part of the medieval urban complex, with coexistence of Christians and Jews within the city. Some aspects of urban migration could be observed, though analysis of the list of new city residents. This is generally regarded not only as an indicator of economic development of the city, but also allows one to monitor the demographic crisis of urban society. Given that a lender had to vouch for each new city resident, lists of new arrivals to the ranks of city burghers also suggest connections and relationships between people. In rare cases, it is possible to link data from the judicial...

Rokczaner family of Prague's Old Town. From councillors to knights
Chmátal, Jonáš ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Musílek, Martin (referee)
This bachelor's thesis is focused on Rockzaner family, one significant patrician family of Prague's Old Town. The goal of this thesis is to bring wide biographical description of this family. Similiar biography already exists but just as a part of monumental work of Vaclav Vladivoj Tomek from 70's of 19th century. That is why I am persuaded that such biography should be rewriten to better suit modern historical science. Another goal is to prove that topic of prague's patrician families is not exhausted and there is still a plenty of free space for a research to be done. Next to biographical description this thesis also contains one chapter devoted to Rockzaner's rural estates and its's problematic. As for my opinion this biography should stand as a basis for future research of Rockzaner family and their's economical and social activities. Keywords: Old Town of Prague, patrician, Okor castle, knight, Rockzaner, medieval, medieval city, citizen, location, 14th century, colonization, money loans, rural estates, city council
