Z vlasti do exilu: skúsenosti evanjelických farárov z prenasledovania a exilu v 17. storočí
From the motherland to exile: the experience of prosecuted Lutheran priests in exile during the 17th century

Summary/Abstract: The author deals with the situation when the considerable part of the Lutherian priests and teachers was exiled as the result of forced recatholisation. She tries to explain its causes, course and perception. In the 17th century various protestant groups (Anabaptists, the wave of exilians after the battle of Bílá Hora) chose Hungary as a country of exile. The paper also deals with concequences of disagreement between this group of exilians and the protestants who were prisoned and sent to galleys to Napoli. Hereby the author focuses on the situation of exilians as reflected by the integrating society in Germany. The mabivalent country forced Hungarians to explain the development in their own country and to defend their own theological attitudes. The analysis is mainly based on the sources little used before (as sermons, funeral speeches and memoirs).
