The the following bachelor's thesis deals with an important figure of the first half of the 14th century in Czech history, John the Bullock (ca. 1290-1351), the illegitimate son of King Wenceslas II. The goal of this thesis is to analyze and interpret the life and fate of Jan the Bullock and to place them in the historical context. The greatest emphasis is placed on his work as the provost of the Vyšehrad Chapter, the Supreme Chancellor, and a diplomat. Furthermore, the relationship between John the Bullock and Queen Elizabeth Premyslid is highlighted. The events of the dramatic year of 1322 and questions about John's origin are discussed in special chapters. The thesis also deals with the life vicissitudes of other illegitimate children from the end of the Premyslid era. This bachelor's thesis ends with the year 1334, when Jan the Bullock became bishop of the Olomouc and when John's position in the Czech lands changed overall, among other things in connection with the return of Prince Charles to Bohemia. Key words: Jan the Bullock; Royal illegitimate child; Provost of the Vyšehrad Chapter; Bohemian Royal Chancellor; 14th century; Kingdom of Bohemia; Vyšehrad Chapter; John of Bohemia; Elizabeth of Bohemia; Avignon Papacy
