This bachelor thesis deals with the possibilities of the adjustment of the royal power in the late medieval codifications in Bohemia. Its aim is to compare the final forms of codifications, mainly with regard to whose initiative bore the cardinal significance during the preparation of the legal code, whether the ruler's or the estates'. Each of these parties had different opinions on the forms of the functioning of the kingdom and its administration, as well as on its legal system. They tried to enforce their ideas in various ways, i. e. by codifying the law. The transformation of specific legal institutes is also brought into question, especially the issue of escheat or the adjustment of the disposition of the royal estates. The main focus of this thesis lies on the comparison of the legal codes Maiestas Carolina and Vladislavské zřízení zemské, both from the historical and legal point of view. The thesis aims to connect the historical and legal perspectives on the medieval codes of law. Key words: land law, legal codification, legal history, estates, estate monarchy, Middle Ages
