ZIMOLA, Josef
This master's thesis deals with the noble estate members of the Bohemian Land Diets in the years between 1606 and 1610 and develops the bachelor's thesis. The first part focuses on a brief summary of knowledge about the institutions of the diets and their role in the political system of the time preceding the Battle of White Mountain. The second chapter describes the political background of the years in which the examined diets took place. Parliamentary resolutions emerged directories of the present estate members, which are the key to the most important part of the work - specially the analysis of the composition of the present nobility at the session of the Diets. Data about the present nobles were obtained mainly using the available literature and sources. To the fundamental characteristics of those people belong the estate integration, regional pertinence, wealth, religious orientation, some cultural activities, and mutual relative marriages. The final part of the thesis contains an attempt to define the core of the parliament and compares the results of the research with the findings of the bachelor's thesis. The main goal of the work is mainly to deepen the existing knowledge about persons who defended the interests of the estates on those meetings at the beginning of the 17th century.
