The Entry of Maximilian II into Vienna in 1552
IVANEGA, Jan
The work deals with the entry of Maximilian II into Vienna in May 1552. The work is based on theoretical suggestions of sociology, and by the range of examined questions it endorses attitudes of historic anthropology. The entry is analyzed on the basis of Barbara Stollberg-Rillinger methodological starting points. She understands the early modern period rituals as a symbolic communication area in which the hierarchy of society is mirrored. Research in Habsburg entries in the 16th century carried out by Václav Bůžek served for the comparison. The search was based on three Latin pieces written by two different authors dealing with the entry topic. The methodical and source attitudes are introduced in the first chapter. The entry is described as a subject of historic search and there is provided an outline of the historiography view on Maximilian II. The next chapter describes, on the basis of work with literature and the analysis of sources, the journey from Spain to Vienna. The next chapter represents the core of the work in which the creation of a picture of distinguished persons mentioned in the sources, especially Maximilian II, his wife Marry of Spain, and an important person in Maximilian{\crq}s escord Adam of Dietrichstein, is examined. The pieces authors{\crq} attitudes to the Turkish imperia are indicated at the same time. In the picture attachment a selection of Maximilian II portraits is provided. In these the identical elements with the ruler{\crq}s description submitted in the analyzed sources are searched. The conclusion of the work summarizes the results of the search. From the author{\crq}s point of view, the searched entry did not differ from the series of Habsburg fests. In the sources Maximilian II is celebrated as a member of a distinguished ancestry with an exceptional nobleness, a patron of art and a conqueror of Turks who is protected by a fairy hand.
