Feyfrlíková, Monika ; Zilynská, Blanka (advisor) ; Bobková, Lenka (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to assess (by means of the synthesis of interdisciplinary sciences) whether we could trace any changes in clothing style during a period of Hussit wars with an overlap to the years 1400-1450 on the basis of surviving fragments of historic textiles, visual and material sources with the references to literary documents. The thesis focuses more thoroughly on the earlier development of the structure of male and female pieces of clothing and their possible form in the period of Hussit wars. Specifically, it follows the evolution of the form of both male and female body linen, under garments and outer garments, and it also focuses on head coverings, hose, shoes and accessories of the particular period. The document is enriched by a large variety of pictures attached straight to the text due to better orientation within the written content. At the end there are tables and figures which widely cover the traces of individual parts of garments found in illuminated manuscripts dated back to the delimited period. Key words: clothing, archeological textiles, illumination, Bohemia, Hussite wars, late middle ages.

Feyfrlíková, Monika ; Zilynská, Blanka (advisor) ; Biederman, Jan (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to map everyday life in a military camp in the area of Bohemia during the period of Hussite wars, particularly in camps of an Utraquist as well as a Catholic army. It will concentrate mainly on various aspects of its everyday routine, such as supply, accommodation, camp fortification, a structure of command and camp management, but also on camp equipment. It will be founded on written and visual sources, as well as on normative and narrative (historiographical) records. The thesis will also introduce individual military orders. In more detail, it will be concerned with armour, clothing, and personal equipment of people dwelling in a military camp. Apart from this, it will focus on the issue of women and children (especially on their role and position) in a military camp. Furthermore, the thesis will differentiate between the form and the operation of a military camp led by a Catholic army from the form and the operation of a military camp led by an Utraquist army; and it will describe various types of these camps. Key Words: hussite, Bohemia, supply, fortification, clothing, camp, the Middle Ages.
