The wedding of Jan Kristian of Eggenberg and Marie Arnoštka of Schwarzenberg in 1666
SUCHANOVÁ, Petra
This bachelor thesis deals with the wedding of Jan Kristian of Eggenberg and Marie Arnoštka, born of Schwarzenberg, which took place on 21 February 1666 in Vienna. The thesis focuses on the preparation and the course of the wedding merriment of the descendants of two influential magnates of the Imperial Vienna's Court - Jan Antonin of Eggenberg and Jan Adolf of Schwarzenberg. Based on the analysis of a rich set of unutilised written sources, the author tried to reconstruct and interpret the wedding festivity in the aristocratic society in the second half of the 17th century. The attention is paid not only to the food supplying such a spectacular event in the early modern society, but also to the varied composition of the wedding menu, servants and likewise the support staff. Furthermore, the material procuring of the wedding will also be of interest, which reflected the noble and social status of its organizers.
