Gaudek, Tomáš ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Hlaváčková, Jana Hana (referee) ; Studničková, Milada (referee)
The house of canons regular in Roudnice nad Labem was founded 1333 by John IV of Dražice after his return from Avignon. It was a very important and richly supported monastery, which is demonstrated besides other things by the younger fragment of necrologium, dated 1458-1464 (State Regional Archive in Třeboň, fond Velkostatek Třeboň, registratura IA 3K β 28e). The thesis deals with the Bohemian illuminated manuscripts from the 2nd third of the 14th century from the library from Roudnice, which is quite unique between all the Bohemian houses of regular canons for the high percentage of illuminated manuscripts. The Missale of John of Dražice ( KNM XIII B 9) is an excellent example of some high quality manuscript in the time around 1340 in Bohemia. The ornamental initials show parallels to the recent Western European style. One of them, VD initial on the folio 57r, is filled by the coat-of-arms of the Dražice family, gold wine sprig with three leafs in the red field. But the most interesting is the canon leaf (65r), a classical representative of Central European linear style. The leaf was glued to its place.

First I describe in the thesis the ecclesiastical and political situation in both kingdoms. The next chapters are dedicated to the personality of Honoré Bovet and his writings related to his opinion on the Great Western Schism and the church in general. As a result of the research I present a general attitude of the French Kingdom to the Bohemian Kingdom, particularly king Wenceslas IV, in the period of the Great Western Schism and the dual papacy. Moreover, based on his writings I express Bovet's view of the Schism and the personalities involved in the Schism.

The land rebels at the beginning of early modern times
VALIGOVÁ, Tereza
This bachelor work provides a comprehensive view of the land rebel on the basis of legal documents from the turn of the 14th and 15th century till 1627. Through the Land Code-book, royal decrees and concrete examples drawn from the noble correspondence from the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century, the work delimits the typology and the course of detriment. It defines the concrete land rebels, who were known throughout whole the Bohemian Kingdom. These were mainly Kryštof and Jindřich of Gutštejn, whose impact was extended to the foreign countries and thus they endangered the Bohemian Kingdom. Another one is the famous story of revenge to The Old Town of Prague from Jiřík Kopidlanský. The fight of estates between the nobility and cities was depicted on the background of this story.
