Breach of marriage vows in the 16th and 17th centuries
KABÍČEK, Pavel
This bachelor thesis focuses on marital conflicts in the early modern period, taking into account cases of breach of marriage vows, especially from noble or bourgeois backgrounds. It also refers to the choice of partners, courtship, the consummation of marriage and property related to marriage issues. In addition, it discusses the judiciary of the time, individual courts that dealt with similar matters, and the course of court proceedings. The main sources for this work were preserved records of disputes from the National Archives in Prague, from the Old manipulation collection from the 16th to 17th centuries. In these letters, the lawsuits and the progress of the given cases are recorded. The goal is to reconstruct these cases and get a picture of how such marital disputes are resolved.
