Summary/Abstract: In 2014 we will be commemorating the anniversary of a peace project proposed by Czech ruler George of Poděbrady. It was a grand 15th century plan that was later to a certain extent reincarnated as the League of Nations, United Nations and the European Union. In our three-part Contribution (not counting the Conclusion) we will introduce the Czech king George of Poděbrady as a person, then we will focus on the predecessors of George's project and, last but not least, we will analyze the basic ideas, aims and importance of George's peace plan.
