Vyšehrad in the age of Vratislav II.
Katrák, Ondřej ; Kubín, Petr (advisor) ; Záruba, František (referee)
Vyšehrad in the Age of Vratislav II My thesis is concerned with one of the famous periods of Vyšehrad. Prince Vratislav II, from 1085 the first Czech king, laid the foundation stone of St. Peter's basilica here at 1070, and established a collegiate chapter. The foundation wouldn't be unusual if it hadn't been taken out from the competences of the Prague bishop and been subordinated directly to Papal Curia. In specialized literature it was concluded for a long time that the establishment of the unusual ecclesiatical institution in the area of medieval Bohemia was a reflection of private disagreements of Prince Vratislav and Prague bishop Jaromír-Gebhard. In the last few years, explorers point out that Vratislav with his foundation of Vyšehrad pursued higher political interests. This condition supports the fact of Vratislav's construction activity in the area of Vyšehrad. The foundation of collegiate chapter of St. Peter's basilica, in a two-choir basilica form, wasn't the only one of Prince's qualities. In the area of Vyšehrad there is also a smaller three-aisled basilica of St. Clement and St. Lawrence that is built in the spirit of actual influences of the Hirsau reform architecture. The foundation of St. Martin's Rotunda is also associated with Vratislav's reign. For the current research, the...

History and Constructional Development of the St. Pancras Church in Prague
Katrák, Ondřej ; Kubín, Petr (advisor) ; Pátková, Hana (referee)
History and building development of the St. Pancras church in Prague The revealation of the bottom of the St. Pancras Romanesque rotunda during the development of the Prague underground Line C meant completely a new chapter for this building. This "small-town church" became the main theme for many scholars and explorers, because its creation is absolutely related to the rise of Vyšehrad, an important center of the Czech state at the turn of the 11th and 12th century, and the St. Pancras patronage undoubtly refers to the meaning of Vyšehrad being built as Czech Rome. Even thought Czech princes moved back to the Prague Castle and the St. Pancras changed just to a suburbian church, it became a part of some important events in Czech history, whether we mean the battle in 1420 or the siege of Swedish armies during 1648. St. Pancras, rotunda, church, Vysehrad, Czech Rome.
