Šárovcová, Klára ; Suchánek, Drahomír (advisor) ; Drška, Václav (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis primarily focuses on the conciliar theory as conceived by Parisian masters from 1418 to 1424. First, the thesis aims to clarify the basic development of this theory from the 12th to the 14th century and to present political events in this period that influenced formation of this theory. Furthermore, the thesis closely examines the concept of conciliarism at the Council of Pisa and the Council of Constance related particularly to the Parisian masters. It emphasizes their contribution to formulation of the basic decrees at the Council of Constance. The main objective of the thesis is to introduce the teachings of the most prominent representatives of the Parisian conciliarism in this period, namely Pierre d'Ailly, Jean Gerson and John of Dubrovnik. Based on a few chosen works, the thesis examines the masters' contribution to this theory. Primarily, the thesis intends to explain basic theological theses of these masters that rest on their idea of the relations between the pope and general council. It also mentions how the masters influenced the situation in France. Next, the thesis describes in more detail the Council of Pavia-Siena that aimed to clarify the position of conciliarists at this council, especially in relation to the French conciliar nation.

Vlková, Tereza ; Nejedlý, Martin (advisor) ; Soukup, Pavel (referee)
0 ABSTRACT In my thesis I focus on the political situation in the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Kingdom of France during the Great Western Schism, particularly its first two thirds. I put emphasis on the personality of Honoré Bovet, who was a diplomat and a messenger of the French king and who visited the court of the Bohemian king, Wecleslas IV. in 1399 My work is based on primary and secondary sources and scientific and specialised literature concerning the subject mentioned above. In addition I made use of my one- semester study program in France where I attended the lectures of and consultations with French medieval historians. First I describe in the thesis the ecclesiastical and political situation in both kingdoms. The next chapters are dedicated to the personality of Honoré Bovet and his writings related to his opinion on the Great Western Schism and the church in general. As a result of the research I present a general attitude of the French Kingdom to the Bohemian Kingdom, particularly king Wenceslas IV, in the period of the Great Western Schism and the dual papacy. Moreover, based on his writings I express Bovet's view of the Schism and the personalities involved in the Schism.
