How Pilgrims Lost Their Way. A Contribution to the Long-standing Scientific Discussion Considering a Motive of the Diversion of the Fourth Crusade
Weinzettl, Štěpán ; Drška, Václav (advisor) ; Picková, Dana (referee)
1 Abstract This thesis offers a contribution to a long-standing historical debate concerning the deviation of the Fourth Crusade. It reflects both the main primary sources - especially two old-French narrative sources, the chronicles of Geoffroy Villehardouin and Robert of Clari - and key secondary literature. A special attention is paid to The Fourth Crusade written by two american scholars - Donald Queller and Thomas Madden. This book has gained a considerable prestige and become a crucial part of the Fourth Crusade's bibliography. This study owes much to its factual account but argues against its conclusions. Furthermore it works on the assumption that in the case where a deadlock was achieved after two centuries of historical debate, only an interdisciplinary collaboration is able to break it. Since the historical controversy lies in a "conspiracy theory" problem, this thesis also reflects the most modern findings on the epistemological value of these theories made by the philosophers. From this stance it tries to stir up the historical debate with new impulses.

Průšová, Tereza ; Suchánek, Drahomír (advisor) ; Picková, Dana (referee)
The main topic of this thesis is the Church Union Project between Greek Orthodox and West Latin Church, or, rather an attempt to unite them in order to end the schism lasting more than two centuries, realized on the Second Council of Lyon in 1274. The aim of the thesis is analysis of the geopolitical and religious situation on which was the Union Project based, and capturing the causes of its origin, but also capturing the context of the Union idea on the Council of Lyon and its acceptance in West and East Church. Particular attention was payed to Charles I of Anjou as a ruler whose ambitions of power, including the Crusade against schismatic Byzantine emperor Michael Palaiologos, and openly declared plans to seize control over Constantinople, substantially influenced negotiations about establishing the Church Union. These were led by emperor Michael Papadopulos from the very beginning of his reign and it was the serious threat to Byzantine Empire by Charles I of Anjou that made him accept the Unionist terms of popes which consequently caused strong commotions in Byzantine society.
