SMÍŠEK, Václav
The bachelor's thesis deals with the marriage of Jan Popel Junior of Lobkovic to Bohunka of Rožmberk whose wedding ceremony took place on 19th January 1556 in Český Krumlov Castle. Based on literature and non-published sources, the thesis aims to describe the preparations for the nuptials and the wedding day itself. A major focus has been placed on the guests who took part in the wedding. The guest list reveals information about family members and the network of the regional and cross-border nobility who socialized with the last Rožmberks and the Lobkovics. In terms of methodology, the thesis is based on the comparative and historical anthropological approach. The author of the thesis aims to see the nuptials in a broader context, as a marriage in early modern times fulfilled a range of functions, including biological, political or that of an alliance.
