The presented study is devoted to the phenomenon of the counterfeiting activity of Oldřich II of Rožmberk (Rosenberg, 1403-1462), particularly newly discovered forgeries and their interpretations. The motivation to create the forgeries was not ony legitimation of the holding of unjustly seized royal properties, but also the creation of the "image" of a fearless warrior against the Hussite opposition. The author combines diplomatic and historical methods to understand the background of creation of the three groups of forgeries related to the royal castle Zvíkov, the ecclesiastical goods of Svéráz and Zátoň and the trial with the nobleman Jan Smil of Křemže., Přemysl Bar., and Obsahue prameny a odkazy pod čarou
The study introduces the figure of Jan Železný - the bishop of Litomyšl (1388-1418) and Olomouc (1416/18-1430), administrator of the Prague diocese (1421-1430) and Cardinal Priest of the Title of St Cyriac (1426-1430), who is one of the most famous Bohemian opponents of Master Jan Hus and the Bohemian Reformation. Emphasis is placed on following the relationship of Jan Železný to King of Hungary, later of the Romans and Bohemia, Sigismund. This relationship began deep in the reign of Wenceslas IV, when Jan Železný was among the noble opposition to Wenceslas and therefore cooperated with the King of Hungary, but it acquired a new intensity in the context of the death of Jan Hus and particularly in connection with the wars of Sigismund against the Hussites. In the first half of the 1420s, Jan Železný was an important link in Sigismund´s military coalition, but in the second half of the 1420s he had to go into exile at Sigismund´s court and following the intentions of Pope Martin V he attempted to stop the new course of Sigismund´s Hussite policy., Petr Elbel., and Obsahuje seznam pramenů a odkazy pod čarou
The study illuminates the reign of King of the Romans and Hungary Sigismund of Luxembourg in the North of Veneto (Belluno, Feltre, Serravalle). This region was in Sigismund’s power only for a short time in 1411/12-1420 in connection with his military conflict with the Republic of Venice. Based on for the most part unpublished sources from the archives of the city of Bel- luno, attention is devoted to the people with whom the king entrusted administration of the area (imperial vicars and captains/castellans). It shows that the majority of these people and the garrisons assigned to them, the number of which reaches several dozen or even hundreds, apparently came from the Czech lands mainly in the period 1415-1420. Following step-by-step various aspects of the activity of the royal representatives and their garrisons, frequent conflicts with the local self-government and population stand out. and Ondřej Schmidt.
This article examines the mutual relationship between King Sigismund of Luxembourg and his sister-in-law, Czech Queen Sophia of Bavaria. Sophia of Bavaria, the wife of Czech King Wenceslas IV, was forced to leave the Kingdom of Bohemia; accompanied by Wenceslas’ brother Sigismund, she left for Hungary. She spent the last several years of her life (1422-1428) in exile in Bratislava. The sojourn of the Queen in Bratislava is surrounded by many legends that originated primarily as a result of unilateral interpretations of Sophia’s correspondence with her brothers, Dukes Ernest and Wilhelm of Bavaria. This study attempts to confront this correspondence with available written sources from the Hungarian province. and Daniela Dvořáková.
