Changes in the knightly clientele of the counts of Slavata in the first half of the 17th century
BABKA, Daniel
The master's thesis is focused on the change of the knightly clientele in the middle of 17th century. The main example is based on knights in the area of Jindřichův Hradec, which was situated in the south-east of the Kingdom of Bohemia and in the south-west of the Moravian Margraviate. The first chapters deal with the change of client relations and their everyday lifestyle. It discusses the personality of the patrons and the change of the dominion of Jindřichův Hradec. Until 1604, the patrons were lords of Hradec and then the Slavata of Chlum and Košumberk. The main part of the thesis, based on scientific literature, published and unpublished sources tries to imitate the lives and property conditions of the knightly clients, namely, Babkové of Meziříčko, Čabeličtí of Soutice, Hodějovští of Hodějov, Lipovští of Lipovice, Malovcové of Malovic, Růtové of Dírná, Vencelíkové of Vrchoviště, Vratislavové of Mitrovice, Zahrádečtí of Zahrádky. The work also attempts to capture the Slavatov clientele as a structure that changed under the influence of the events of the Thirty Years' War, post-White-Mountain confiscations and the Counter-Reformation.
