Charles I of Naples and the project of Church Union
Průšová, Tereza ; Suchánek, Drahomír (advisor) ; Picková, Dana (referee)
The main topic of this thesis is the Church Union Project between Greek Orthodox and West Latin Church, or, rather an attempt to unite them in order to end the schism lasting more than two centuries, realized on the Second Council of Lyon in 1274. The aim of the thesis is analysis of the geopolitical and religious situation on which was the Union Project based, and capturing the causes of its origin, but also capturing the context of the Union idea on the Council of Lyon and its acceptance in West and East Church. Particular attention was payed to Charles I of Anjou as a ruler whose ambitions of power, including the Crusade against schismatic Byzantine emperor Michael Palaiologos, and openly declared plans to seize control over Constantinople, substantially influenced negotiations about establishing the Church Union. These were led by emperor Michael Papadopulos from the very beginning of his reign and it was the serious threat to Byzantine Empire by Charles I of Anjou that made him accept the Unionist terms of popes which consequently caused strong commotions in Byzantine society.

It was Jan Csomor, who came in 1783. They also managed to build their own church, which was consecrated in 1787. However, the Lutheran church was smaller in numbers, so they could not establish their independent church, thus they became a part of the church family with the seat in a remote village called Křížlice. They also did not manage to get the permission to build their own church, so they had been existentially struggling for quite a long time. In the end, they succeeded and built their own church in 1842. After that, they achieved independence from Křížlice in 1867 and got their first minister the very next year. The history of the whole community allows us to study the relations between the two churches and their following union in 1918. The last third of the 19th century seems to play the key role in the convergence of the two churches. The Reformed minister, Emanuel Havelka, and the Lutheran minister, Petr Marušiak, have probably played a crucial role in...
