The journey of Princess Eleonore of Schwarzenberg to Great Britain in 1838 and her son Walter Prosper
Bouška, Jan ; Županič, Jan (advisor) ; Horčička, Václav (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is the reconstruction of the 1838 journey of prince Johann Adolf II. of Schwarzenberg to Great Britain, as described by his wife, princess Eleonore née of Lichtenstein, who accompanied him. In the connection with the British journey of the couple, the thesis also deals with their son, prince Walter Prosper, conceived along the way to Britain. With regard to the premature death of prince Walter, the focus is primarily on his funeral ceremony and the connected rituals. To explore the chosen topic, a lot of archive material, that had not been processed before, was used. Based on said archives, a partial reconstruction of the journey was possible, from the point of view of Eleonore, who is a rather overlooked figure in historiography. Additionally, the funeral ritual of prince Walter is described and compared with common funerals of Schwarzenberg family. Key words: Schwarzenberg family, Eleonore of Schwarzenberg, journey, Great Britain, Johann Adolf II. of Schwarzenberg, Walter Prosper, death, funeral, burial, ritual, crypt
