Koryta, David ; Zilynská, Blanka (advisor) ; Bobková, Lenka (referee)
In second half of 15th century, Bohemia was confronted with many social changes. One of the most important was the effort to codify land law which was finalized by the publishing of Vladislaus's land law. It's leading author was Albrecht Rendl of Ousava. Because of it Rendl became well known among his contemporaries and in general historical awareness. There are only few known facts about the rest of his life. He served as royal prosecutor for a long time, but he also obtained two of the highest land offices - the supreme land scribe and the prosecutor. Rendl represents a kind of person able to promote himself to the highest points of contemporary policy due to his formidable personal abilities.

As a whole, the work probes into political, economic, cultural and social life in late medieval northwest Bohemia.
