Summary/Abstract: The study illuminates the reign of King of the Romans and Hungary Sigismund of Luxembourgin the North of Veneto (Belluno, Feltre, Serravalle). This region was in Sigismund’s power onlyfor a short time in 1411/12–1420 in connection with his military conflict with the Republic ofVenice. Based on for the most part unpublished sources from the archives of the city of Belluno,attention is devoted to the people with whom the king entrusted administration of thearea (imperial vicars and captains/castellans). It shows that the majority of these people andthe 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-stepvarious aspects of the activity of the royal representatives and their garrisons, frequent conflictswith the local self-government and population stand out.
