(in English): The aim of this bachelor thesis is to give an account of the influence of the community of Baptists in South Moravia in the years 1526−1622, from their advent into a relatively tolerant environment, to the expulsion of the country after the defeat of the Estates in the Battle on the White Mountain, especially with a focus on the relationship between the Baptists and the Moravian nobility. For the purpose of assessing this issue, I mainly used the text of the Baptist chronicle, land ordonnances and the archive sources of the urbarium and the tax return lists of the owners of the Moravian demesnes. I also became acquainted with the results of the work of earlier research. Study of sources showed that the co-existence of the Baptists and Moravian nobility was beneficial for both sides. The nobility appreciated the diligence, modesty, and craftsmanship of the Baptists and, in return, provided them with conditions for their settlement, protection against the Catholic monarch and a certain background against the restrictions within the laws of the land. This microsonde shows among others that the regulations concerning the cohabitation of various confessional groups formulated by the land diet were not absolutely put in to the everyday life of specific demesnes.
