Development of Relations for Education in the 17th century in the Context of Burghers' Testaments (Example of New Town Prague)
Richter Musilová, Oldřiška ; Váňová, Růžena (advisor) ; Strouhal, Martin (referee)
The Development of Relations to Education in the 17th Century in the Context of Burgher Testaments (the Example of New Prague Town) Abstract Early modern testaments represent a unique source of information about many areas of life at a given historical period. They are frequently used in various areas of historical research, including Czech historiography and its new cultural history. Although the cultural history covers many topics, surprisingly, the field of education has been somewhat forgotten. The testaments, which unite the official information and personal testimonies, provide a unique chance to see the attitude of the society towards education in a historical context of a certain era. The testaments might become important especially when researching those periods of the development of scholarly systems and education that have been overlooked by historians, e.g. the development of town schools; respectively, the development of urban education in the period after the Battle of White Mountain (1620). The limited interest of historians has been caused mainly by the lack of information sources that could explain the changes in the organization of the newly formed confessional educational system after the Battle of White Mountain. These changes launched the process of recatholization of the Czech lands...

The topic of the dissertation is a reconstruction of organisation structure and personnel overview of the Superior Land Court in Bohemia between 1541-1620. The thesis is divided into two parts of the research. In the first part, the court is examined from perspective of administration history and history of justice. The aim is to reconstruct the structure of courts as an independent institution within the organisation of the provincial administration in Bohemia prior to the Battle of White Mountain. Position of court within the structure of noble courts before 1620, as well as the subject of location, time frame and the process of judicial hearing, the topic of casting and seating arrangements or subject of the occupation and release of judicial posts is being dealt with in its sub-chapters. This part is based on normative sources of the central authorities and sources of assessor's personal nature. Judges - as a group of individual assessors within the court are examined in the other part. The aim is to find and identify all personnel appointed for the function within the Court associate justice (the Chief Clerk; Juror without the Superior Land Court).

Casting of the regional supervisor offices in the before Bílá Hora era and the list of regional supervisors on the bases of extant listings from the years 1563/1564-1616/1617
Mareš, Petr ; Hojda, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Ebelová, Ivana (referee)
The main aim of this work is to identify, analyse and describe the individual phases - mechanisms - of filling the office of the region supervisor in Bohemia before the Bíla Hora era. The secondary aim is to show the objective and subjective factors playing an important role in filling that office. An appendix includes a chronological list of regional supervisors sorted by regions, based on the extant lists from the years 1563/1564 - 1616/1617, and also includes a name index to this list. The main source of information is the set of documents of Bohemian royal office and Bohemian consulate from 1550 until the second half of the 18th century. These documents are currently stored in the National Archive in Prague, the Old Manipulation fund, inventory number 1605, sign. K 26 / 1 - 10, Districts and Regional Government in the Bohemia, card No. 1130 - 1135. I am focused in this work on writings dated between 1550 and 1618 which preserved only partly. The Kingdom of Bohemia was divided from the mid 15th century until the Thirty Years' War into 14 regions. Each region was headed by two regional supervisors. One of them came from aristocracy and the other from knighthood. Usually they have been in their offices for one year and replaced around the feast of St. George, 23 April. Monarch named the new regional...

War experience in everyday life of the south Bohemian lower noblemen in the period of the second half of the 16th century and the early 17th century
KOREŠ, František
The author of the diploma thesis endeavoured, with the help of historic-anthropological methods, to depict a variety of forms of the war experience of the south Bohemian aristocracy in the period before the Battle of White Mountain. The subject of his interest focused on the fates of men and women of noble origin, on the background of three key military events of the second half of the 16th century and the early 17th century. Two expeditions of the Bohemian troops against the Turks in 1566 and 1594, and the invasion of Bohemia by the Passau army in 1611 had a very strong impact on the way south Bohemian knights thought, behaved and acted. Personal correspondence of selected aristocratic families served as the heuristic starting point in the search for the answer to the question which ways an aristocrat chose to defend values tested by centuries and to enforce his own or his family?s interests. The objective of the entire research was to amplify the knowledge about the history of lower aristocracy, by stressing the unique role of a historical participant in war. Treating the topic of war experience gave rise to a contribution on the borderline between the political, military, social and cultural areas of history of the early Modern Age.
