The Estate Members of the Bohemian Land Diets before the Outbreak of the Bohemian Revolt
ZIMOLA, Josef
This bachelor thesis deals with the estate members of the Bohemian Land Diets before the Bohemian Revolt between the years 1618 to 1620. The first part focuses on the description of the institutions of the diets in the 16th and at the beginning of the 17th century. It deals with the role of the diets in the political system of the Bohemian estate monarchy, their competencies, the course of negotiations and the meaning of this institution as an important communication platform between the estates and the monarch. Next part of the thesis focuses on the political development in the last few years before the beginning of the Bohemian Revolt. It mainly deals with the events in the years 1616 and 1617 when the two land diets took place. Resolutions arisen on these meetings contain directories of the estate members, and their structure was based on the current literature and published 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 compares detected information about participants of both land diets and tries to answer who defended the interests of the Bohemian estates on those meetings.
Třeboň, Passau army and Bohemian revolt
TITL, David
The bachelor thesis primarily aims at describing the warrior role of the town Třeboň in two major conflicts, which affected southern Bohemia in the first half of the 17th Century - the Passau army incursion in 1611 and the Bohemian Revolt from 1618 to 1620, including next two years of persisting resistance to victorious imperial party. At this territory, there the significant military and diplomatic operations happened. They noticeably influenced the development of both conflicts. Even that in both cases Třeboň represented a strategically important fortress, its role differed. These differences were chosen by the author to be the main topic of his thesis. Therefore, a comparative approach was chosen by using the direct method and the method of "sonda" (focused on something in detail). This way the author is looking at both wartime situations and evaluating its impact on microhistory of the region.
