Majetkové strategie šlechty v pozdním středověku na modelovém příkladu Haška z Valdštejna
Property Strategies of the Nobility in the Late Middle Ages Modelled on Hašek of Valdštejn

Summary/Abstract: The text analyses the property strategies of an important nobleman of the first half of the fifteenth century, Hašek of Valdštejn. The study demonstrates that Hašek was focused on acquiring royal property lien (Ostroh, Víckov,Orlovice, Nový Hrad, Bludov). Although Hašek of Valdštejn is often mentioned in the documents as the owner of the property, Hašek managed all his property along with his brother Beneš. This includes the allod estateof Veliš, which, as written records maintain, had been acquired by Hašek of Valdštejn, but was actually governed by Hašek of Valdštejn and his brother Beneš. Hašek made a strategic decision before 1410 and moved all hisoperations from Bohemia to Moravia. He switched the base for his principal activities between Moravia and Bohemia several times during his life. After 1437 he seemed to leave Moravia not only due to property ownership, but also because of politics.
