Joanna of Rožmitál, the life story of a Bohemian queen by the end of the Middle Ages
Boušková, Eva ; Doležalová, Eva (advisor) ; Čechura, Jaroslav (referee)
The life of Joanna of Rožmitál (Rosenthal), who is mainly known as the wife of George of Poděbrady, was much more diverse and richer, than it could seem at first view. Being a noblewoman from a Catholic family, she married a "Calixtine."During her relatively short life, she managed to promote the succession of Jagiellonians to the throne, to participate in provincial diets, to resolve conflicts between Catholic and Calixtine noblemen and, after the death of her husband, to hold the highest office in the state. On the basis of extant sources and narrative literature I will try reconstructing Joanna's life, her court and heir governance along George's side and also after his death. Among other targets, the work will try to portray the life of a medieval noblewomen in a rather uneasy period.

Hájek's depiction of the Hussite era
Čornej, Petr
The detailed analysis of parts in which Václav Hájek of Libočany in his Czech Chronicle (1541) described the Hussite era shows that the Catholic author did not have the strict antihussite attitude. He fully respected the political and religious organization of the Czech state formed in the years of Hussite revolution.
