The wedding of Adam II. of Hradec and Catharine of Montfort
 ŘÍHOVÁ, Jana
This thesis deals with the wedding of Adam II. of Hradec and Catharine of Montfort. In a connection with the wedding strategies in the early modern period, this thesis explains the choice of a bride which was very crucial in the aristocratic environment not only for the married couple but also for their wide social surrounding. Then this thesis focuses on the whole ritual of wedding celebration from the courtship to the bride's arrival to the castle in Jindřichův Hradec in 1574. The nobleman's need to represent his noble estate is reflected in this celebration and Adam II. spent a huge amount of money on this wedding even though his domain was highly in debt. The thesis also analyses the wedding poems written in honour of the married couple by humanistic poets. Latin poetry refers to the nobility and ancient origin of the noblemen of Jindřichův Hradec and emphasizes the continuation of the generation which could be achieved only by the posterity. The marriage is observed in a political and religious context of the period because it is closely related to the noblemen of Jindřichův Hradec who had numerous links to the House of Habsburg and also to the following religious development in Jindřichův Hradec, which were catholic thanks to the influence of Catherine of Montfort.
