The Influence of William of Ockham teaching to the politics of Louis IV of Bavaria The aim of this work is to find out how far was the King of the Romans and Emperor Louis IV of Bavaria willing or able to use the idea fulfilled in work of the Franciscan monk William of Ockham while patterning his state policy. William of Ockham was living for many years at Louis's court and he reacted to the actual political situation in the Roman Empire by his work. Two elections took place after the death of the Roman Emperor Henry VII of Luxembourg. Louis of Bavaria and Friedrich of Habsburg became two Kings of the Romans and enemies to each other, too. This was followed by many years lasting fight for the throne which paralysed all Empire politics and was only finished when Friedrich was taken captive in the battle of Mühldorf. The new Pope John XXII was elected after two years lasting sede vacante in 1316. When Louis of Bavaria began exercise his right to the Italian part of the Empire after the battle of Mühldorf fully, he got into a disagreement with John XXII. It was ended up not only by a denial of king's right to the Northern Italy but also to Germany and Burgundy and to the start of the trial against the person of Louis IV. The king refused all Pope's demands through three appellations - of Nuremberg,...

Strnadová, Kristýna ; Suchánek, Drahomír (advisor) ; Drška, Václav (referee)
This thesis is about a figure of Czech prince Adalbert from Přemyslid dynasty. Its goal is the analysis of his life and actions in the context of the national and political situation in the Holy Roman Empire and Czech lands. There are three thematic areas. The first one is about Adalbert's connections to the Czech environment. The second one is about his post of archbishop of Salzburg and deals with his relationship to the emperor. The last one is about his actions in the Salzburg archdiocese. Given issues were solved by using relevant accessible sources and literature. Biographical, comparative and empirical analytical methods were used. The final outcome of the thesis is creation of comprehensive survey about Adalbert in context of the events of his time. That is also the main contribution of this thesis.

An ideal ruler - Charles IV - viewed by Dante Alighieri, Cola di Rienzo and Francesco Petrarca
Janušová, Martina ; Doležalová, Eva (advisor) ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee)
The emperor Charles IV descended from the house of Luxembourg. Dante Alighieri regarded his grandfather, Henry VII, as an ideal ruler who should reign not only over the Empire but also over the Church. Charles IV himself is known to have been a very educated man, who maintained many contacts throughout Europe. Among Charles's admirers there were also two Italian humanists, Francesco Petrarca and Cola di Rienzo, whose lives headed in a different direction, but who both saw embodiment of Dante's idea of perfect ruler in Charles IV. In this study I would like to focus on the influence that Dante's concept of ideal ruler could have on Charles' way of government and on the relations between Charles IV and the mentioned two humanists, of whom the former was Charles's friend while the other only met Charles at the Prague court as a fugitive in disguise.

The Czech lands and the avignon papacy in the period 1378-1419, diplomatic aspects
Vlková, Tereza ; Nejedlý, Martin (advisor) ; Soukup, Pavel (referee)
0 ABSTRACT In my thesis I focus on the political situation in the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Kingdom of France during the Great Western Schism, particularly its first two thirds. I put emphasis on the personality of Honoré Bovet, who was a diplomat and a messenger of the French king and who visited the court of the Bohemian king, Wecleslas IV. in 1399 My work is based on primary and secondary sources and scientific and specialised literature concerning the subject mentioned above. In addition I made use of my one- semester study program in France where I attended the lectures of and consultations with French medieval historians. 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.
