Telč in seventeenth century
MAREČEK, Jakub
The topic of my bachelor's work is the history of the town of Telč in the 17th century. I chose this historical epoch mainly for the reason that little attention was devoted to it in previous research of Telč history. First, I evaluate the works that have been written about Telč so far. I try to assess the approach of their authors and I investigate which historical period of the town they considered to be the heyday of time. I also focus on their view of the town in the 17th century. Subsequently, I incorporate Telč to the urban network in early modern times. I compare its size not only to towns in the Telč County but also to the size of urban settlements in Bohemia and Moravia. Afterwards, I introduce the members of Slavata family individually and their relationship to the town. Then, I concentrate on the impact of the Thirty Years War on the town and the situation thereafter. Finally, I reconstruct the appearance of the town administration on the basis of extant sources, its functioning and relationship to the castle lords in the last chapter.

The supplying of Schwarzenberg households in the second half of the 17th century
LEE STOLIČKA, Ondřej
The thesis consists of several parts discussing the issue of the supplying of aristocratic homes in the Baroque period. Everything was done on the example of the Schwarzenberg households between the years 1656 and 1683, during the reign of Jan Adolf I. of Schwarzenberg. The first part involves the organization of the servants in his household. The second part deals with looking at the residence of his wife Marie Justine from Schwarzenberg, born in Starhemberg, Prague, around 1658. On the basis of their personal accounts, the authors presented this reconstruction supplying her household in Prague and a wider analysis of potential internal view of the expenditures in the category of alms. The following chapter deals with food supplies for Jan Adolf I's wife's household at Trebon. The last part relates to the analysis of transport of food to Schwarzenberg households in Vienna in the third quarter of the 17th century, part of which is closer to the probe focused on local supply and consumption of alcohol.

ŘEPOVÁ, Eliška
The main theme of my thesis is the city administration of Prachatice as a seigniorial town between the years 1622 and 1699. I've focused my attention primarily on the functioning of the town hall in Prachatice. I've tried to reconstruct its staff structure and I've also been engaged in the renewal of the autonomy town authority related with it town hall, elders and the town reeve. The primary sources for my work were the town councillor manuals, lists of renewals, wedding contract books and testament books stored in the state regional archive in Prachatice, in stock Archive of the Prachatice town. I used sources, which were created during the renovation process, stored in the state regional archive in Třeboň, workplace Český Krumlov, and register books stored in the state regional archive in Třeboň. In the opening chapters I've tried to generally familiarize with the essential literature, the towns autonomy and town laws. I've compared the Prachatice autonomy with studies engaged in autonomy authorities of other towns.

War experience in everyday life of the south Bohemian lower noblemen in the period of the second half of the 16th century and the early 17th century
KOREŠ, František
The author of the diploma thesis endeavoured, with the help of historic-anthropological methods, to depict a variety of forms of the war experience of the south Bohemian aristocracy in the period before the Battle of White Mountain. The subject of his interest focused on the fates of men and women of noble origin, on the background of three key military events of the second half of the 16th century and the early 17th century. Two expeditions of the Bohemian troops against the Turks in 1566 and 1594, and the invasion of Bohemia by the Passau army in 1611 had a very strong impact on the way south Bohemian knights thought, behaved and acted. Personal correspondence of selected aristocratic families served as the heuristic starting point in the search for the answer to the question which ways an aristocrat chose to defend values tested by centuries and to enforce his own or his family?s interests. The objective of the entire research was to amplify the knowledge about the history of lower aristocracy, by stressing the unique role of a historical participant in war. Treating the topic of war experience gave rise to a contribution on the borderline between the political, military, social and cultural areas of history of the early Modern Age.

Everyday life of the imperial envoyes in Poland in the second half of the 17th century
KONRÁDOVÁ, Monika
The presented diploma thesis deals with the theme of everydayness of imperial diplomats working in Poland in the second half of the 17th century. The basic source for the research is the preserved personal correspondence of six diplomats from the period concerned. The author of the thesis also takes note of prints, leaflets and prescriptive manuals for diplomats of the era. One of the main objectives of the work is to clarify how the imperial envoys perceived the parliamentary tradition and practice of Polish-Lithuanian state and also how they were personally involved in the affairs of the Seim and royal court. An essential part of the work is the analysis of a diplomat´s audience with the Seim, fractionalism of the Seim and the envoy´s interaction with the sovereign during both official and unofficial events. Other important part of the thesis is an interpretation of the symbolic meaning of festivities which the imperials diplomats at the Polish court took part in e.g. weddings, funerals, elections and coronations. The work also focuses on the private component of the diplomat´s mission and its most important institution of "patronage and good friendship", owing to which many locked doors could have been entered and which enabled diplomats having the security of the financial support of their mother country. Informal activities of diplomats comprised also travelling within legation and different related dangers. The author also deals with the health condition of diplomats and the ways their health problems influenced their daily routines during a diplomatic mission. Last but not least part of the work treats the Habsburg diplomat´s perception of Polish, Russian and Tatar people and the communication network of imperial envoys.
