- Summary/Abstract:One of the most important events in the life of a medieval woman was the journey of a bride. As a part of the nuptials this journey consisted of numerous ceremonies and rites. Along with thisjourney a woman was transferred from childhood to adulthood, from the authority of her father to the authority of her husband. Thus, it was not only the journey in a geographical point of view, but in a symbolical one as well. Despite the fact that virtually every medieval highborn woman set out on this journey, only one normative source concerning an ideal version of the journey is preserved. It is De institutione vivendi by Neapolitan nobleman Diomede Carafa and it was written as a wedding gift for Beatrix of Aragon and Matthias Corvinus in 1476. De institutione contains the genre aspects of a mirror for the queen and an guide for the journey. This unusual part – guide for the journey could have be added by an initiave of addressee, queen Beatrix, or more likely it was an invention of the author himself. Apart from advice on how to travel, how to take care of servants and household etc., Carafa recommends the young queen to seize this way as a chance. The chance to prepare herself for her future life and to visit special places and persons during the journey in order to get a personal prestige which will be vital to her fate. Beatrix is supposed to visit devotional places, important persons (pope, cardinals, her elder sister Eleonora, duchess of Ferrara). As a preparation for her future life she should gain every valuable information by which she would achieve the grace of her husband and mother-in-law – the information about how to govern one‘s household, how to learn the language of her new kingdom. An ideal journey of the bride, at least according to Diomede Carafa, is a well spent preparation for the future life and the role of queen. It is a time of maturation which may facilitate the process of transition.

- Summary/Abstract:The dynamics of political and religious development of 16th century England anticipated the arrival of series of changes, conflicts and crises that were to change the country beyond recognition. Despite those dynamic times, a timeless character of William Cecile, the closest adviser of Queen Elizabeth I., won recognition through his intellect, political contacts and dispassionate point of view. Even in the times of the threat of the English Queen’s reign, it was the mentioned William Cecile who was able to consider a possible unification of the island kingdoms under one ruler or a dynasty. Therefore, this research examines various aspects of William Cecile’s unification vision that was put into the context of the political situation of 16th century Europe. The core of this work is formed by the analysis of selected historical sources from edition A Collection of State Papers relating to Affairs in the Reigns of King Henry VIII., King Edward VI., Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth: From the Years 1542–1570 by Samuel Haynes.

- Summary/Abstract:Using modern theoretical perspectives of historical anthropology and the concept of symbolic communication, this study focuses on the ceremony awarding Jan Adolf of Schwarzenberg the Order of the Golden Fleece that took place on the 1st December 1650 in Brussels. The study’s aim is to reconstruct the proceedings consisting of separate ritual steps related to being accepted to one of the most prestigious orders of the Early Modern Period. The substantial part of the study is concerned with the interpretation of chronologically ordered parts of the performance that are considered according to their symbolical contents. The study also attempts to reconstruct Jan Adolf of Schwarzenberg’s nets of noble communicants who helped him to be awarded the longed-for Order of the Golden Fleece by the means of sending an intercession to the Spanish king or the emperor. Last but not least, the author of the study intends to outline the symbolic meaning of surviving congratulatory documents on the occasion of the awarding and letters of thanks that the count sent to his communicants. On the basis of the analysis of the previously mentioned documents, it is obvious that they did not only retain the memory of the exceptional honour for future generations but they served also to increase Jan Adolf of Schwarzenberg’s honourable status in the eyes of his contemporaries.

- Summary/Abstract:Die vorliegende Studie untersucht das Phänomen des Fremden, das wegen der Vielfalt von Interpretationsansätzen eine Unzahl von Fragen anregt, die nicht nur auf dem Gebiet der anthropologischen oder soziologischen, sondern auch der historischen Forschung gestellt wurden. Die historische Forschung arbeitet im Rahmen der Inanspruchnahme des Begriffs insbesondere mit dem Terminus des Fremden im Äußeren, der seinen Sinn in Menschen am Rande oder in sozial anders profilierten Gruppen findet, die jedoch bereits von der Definition her ein Gegengewicht zu der Mehrheitspopulation darstellten, d.h. zu Menschen mit dem Recht (der Macht) zu bestimmen, wer der Andere ist. Bei einer näheren Betrachtung lässt jedoch auch dieses gut integrierbare Wir ein Bild entstehen, das aus vielen und vielen Unsicherheiten besteht, die nicht nur aus dem äußeren Umfeld in Form von Personen erwachsen, sondern es können damit auch sämtliche sonstigen Störungen der sozialen Interaktion bezeichnet werden, egal, ob sie diese unmittelbar oder nur indirekt betreffen. Das ist die erste Seite des Bildes, die es für die Beschreibung des Fremden im Äußeren erforderlich macht, auch sein Gegengewicht – das Fremde im Inneren – zu beschreiben. Das Fremde im Inneren basiert spezifisch in Bezug auf den Forschungsgegenstand auf der städtischen Umwelt, durch die eine Trennlinie in Form des Stadtbürgerrechtes gezogen wurde, das die Stadtbewohner dem Stand zuordnete und die Anderen in einer den Ständen untergeordneten Position beließ.

- Summary/Abstract:Der Artikel stellt die Reisenstruktionen und den Reiseitinerar für Franz Anton von Dietrichstein, Wilhelm von Leslie und ihren Hofmeister Joseph Seim nach Rom vor, wo sie in den Jahren 1662–1666 das Theologiestudium auf dem Collegium Romanum absolvierten und zuletzt in den Jesuitenorden eintraten. Über dieser Studienreise berichtet uns die zahlreiche Korrespondenz des Hofmeisters an den Fürst Ferdinand von Dietrichstein, der als Stiefbruder und Vormund Franz Antons auch der Hauptorganisator dieser Reise war. Trotz ihrer geistlichen Orientierung ähnelte sich diese Reise in vielen Richtungen den damaligen Kavalierstouren – unter anderen geht es auch um die Form und den Inhalt der Reiseinstruktionen und des Reiseitinerars. Ferdinand von Dietrichstein war auch der Autor beider Instruktionen. Ihre Struktur und auch ihrer Inhalt erweisen nach der Komparation mit den bisherigen historiographischen Erkentnissen eine beträchtliche Ähnlichkeit mit den Reiseinstruktionen für die Kavalierstouren. Die einzelnen Punkte der Instruktion werden im vorgelegten Artikel auch im Bezug auf den tatsächlichen Vorgang der Reise präsentiert, wie er in der Korrespondenz kennen zu lernen ist. Ähnlich wird auch der Reiseitinerar behandelt, der auch viele beliebten Destinationen der Kavalierstouren beinhaltet. Dieser Itinerar wurde jedoch aus praktischen Gründen nicht konsequent realisiert, wie der Artikel wieder mithilfe der Belege aus der Korrespondenz zeigt.

- Summary/Abstract:Aristocrat career and public service in the early modern period is one of attractive areas of recent historical research. This also includes the field of aristocratic diplomatic service abroad, which previously stood on the edge of research interest. This paper depicts on the example of Franz Karl Count Wratislaw von Mitrowitz, how variable diplomatic service could be. In 1724, the Count was appointed the Imperial plenipotentiary minister at the Saxon-Polish Court, as well as the Oberhofmeister of Habsburg Archduchess Maria Josepha, who was married with Saxon-Polish Prince Friedrich Augustus. The second function was chosen intentionally by the Imperial administration to provide him permanent access to royal family in Poland in order to find out information which would be hard to gain for the Imperial ambassador. This study deals with the activities of Count Wratislaw in 1726 and its goal is to answer whether this combination of two functions in one person’shand was an appropriate tactic and whether Count Wratislaw could use both these offices successfully. The author found that Franz Karl Wratislaw left Dresden (home of Maria Josepha) in mid-1725 and travelled to Warsaw to ensure her suitable accommodation there, because she should accompany her husband there to stay at the court of his father and Polish king Augustus II. However, in the mid-December 1725, the prince Friedrich Augustus himself (without his wife) received the official invitation from the King. His wife Maria Josepha was forced to stay alone back in Saxony, reliant mainly on information from her Hofmeister, who, according to the new Emperor’s order, travelled with the Prince to Warsaw and could not stay with his Princess. Subsequent correspondence of Franz Karl, especially with Maria Josepha and Imperial Vice-Chancellor Friedrich Karl von Schönborn, shows that in 1726 he apparently preferred his diplomatic duties instead of the Hofmeister’s one. It was a clever resolution indeed because when Wratislaw returned from his diplomatic legacy to Russia (1728–1733), he was re-appointed to his former function of the Hofmeister of Maria Josepha (who had became the Polish Queen), and he also held the post of Imperial ambassador to Saxony-Poland again.

- Summary/Abstract:The paper discusses the transformation of Ostrov (nad Ohří) in Northwest Bohemia in the period of the Thirty Years War. Ostrov managed to purchase its freedom in 1603, falling into servitude again after the 1620’s confiscation. Julius Henry of Saxe-Lauenburg, who became the new authority, stepped into the citizens’ life noticeably by restricting their administrative and economic privileges as well as by the building of an opulent residence with a large garden, making Ostrov only a base for the residence and court instead of a sovereign town. Therefore, unlike others, this paper studies these two issues (restricting the citizens’ rights and building the residence) together, using written and other sources like maps or engravings, because without exerting control over the town and domain the costly keeping of the residence would not be possible.

- Summary/Abstract:This interdisciplinary study focuses on death causes of citizens of the town of Rokytnice in the Eagle Mountains. It covers the period from the 20 th February 1784, when the Emperor Joseph II ordered local parsons to keep records regarding citizen ´ deaths. In order to put this research into a more detailed context, the study openswith an analysis of the situation of Rokytnice rectory and the level of healthcare in the second half of the 18th century. The key building stone of the study is an analysis of death records in Rokytnice between 1784–1812. Interestingly, the research shows that the record keeping was interrupted in several places due to missing pre-printed death register formulaires. The situation stabilized sometime between May and June 1784. Apparently, the parsons themselves began to manually prepare the formulaires which turned out to be the simplest solution. These manually completed formulaires existed in Rokytnice until 1812, indicating that the government probably had to resign on these pre-printed formulaires at the beginning of their existence. The next chapter, focusing on death causes of Rokytnice citizens with German origin between 1784–1793, reveals interesting observations. The study proves the quality of death diagnosis was rather low and unstable. Interestingly, parsons recorded symptoms rather than diagnosis in multiple cases. Clearly, this represents an obstacle for this research as it is almost impossible to consistently track the death causes due to missing or incomplete statistics..

- Summary/Abstract:This work follows the influence of the proccess of raabisation on the creation of rural elites in Moravia in the second half of the 18th century with the life of vogt Frantisek Marek as an example. The first half of this work is concerned with the implementation of raabisation to a farm in Velký Týnec and the role of František Marek in it. The second part follows the changes in his life and the impact of raabisation on his family. He was the vogt of Velky Tynec in that time and capitalized on it aptly. He bought 2 out of 4 newly created estates in the name of his sons. He bought stable and stall as well. Because of that he received more than tenth of distributed lands. The rest of the land was distributed among poorer farmers so Marek was the only peasant who received fields. When the proccess of rabisation was finished he became the richest peasant in Velký Týnec. These gains helped him to increase earnings from his farm which enabled him not only to socially and economically secure his six sons but also to increse the prestige of the whole family. The work demonstrates the big impact of raabisation on a creation of rural elites on the example of Velký Týnec, i.e. a village with a specific role of administration. The work also partially shows changes of power structures after a liquidation of suzerain’s office at chateau in Velký Týnec.

- Summary/Abstract:During the 19th century, Prague, the capital of Bohemia, became a major travel destination. A body of more than 160 extant travel guides bears witness to this development. Drawing on memory studies and modernization theory, this essay examines these travel guides to trace the changes of collective memory in the Central European urban setting at a time of dynamic change. This essay argues that the canon of Prague’s most important sights already existed in the early 19th century and its presence thus predated the emergence of the first modern travel guides. While the canon of Prague’s must-see sites remained surprisingly stable during the ‘long 19th century’, the collective memories attached to Prague’s spaces underwent a pronounced transformation. The ‘symbolic topography’ (M. Halbwachs) of Prague established on local Bohemian patriotism and associated most notably with the Vormärz Prague’s middle classes, disintegrated in the second half of the century. It eventually gave place to the conflicting collective memories of the Czech and German nationalist intelligentsia. Furthermore, the collective memories of various religious and professional groups also began to be articulated publicly and became accessible to travellers. A plurality of collective memories existing in the public sphere thus emerged as symbolic of modern open societies. All these memories, however, remained intrinsically linked to the same spaces of the historical city. The essay thus reveals the ambiguity of the relationship between diverse memories and spaces: while their content draws boundaries between individual groups, their form binds these communities together..

- Summary/Abstract:František Adolf Šubert, Director of the National Theatre from 1883 to 1900, was one of the first managers of Czech culture. With his organisational talent and ability to enter into public affairs, he put the idea of a national theatre into practice; an institution which is not only a place for staging first-rate productions, but above all a centre for the whole society. He managed to come up with strategies to bring new social groups to the theatre, as well as people outside of Prague - anywhere where residents identified themselves as being Czech. In this respect, an important role was played not only by the theatre trains, but also by the involvement of the theatre in large events such as jubilees and ethnological exhibitions. No less significant was the staging of unusual productions for less affluent groups. However, from its very opening the theatre had to face criticism from a host of theatre critics over the poor quality of its repertoire and its general orientation. Often the contradictory nature of the criticisms precluded the possibility of addressing them, and today it raises the question as to what extent the expectations of the professional public created adequate conditions for the National Theatre to operate in.

- Summary/Abstract:Jan Čapek was regarded, especially by the interwar sources, as the founder of the Czechoslovak legions in Italy. Although this statement in much simplifies the whole process, which in the last year of the Great War led to an establishing of a Czechoslovak division fighting against Austro-Hungarian Empire on the Italian front, it is nevertheless the truth, that he played key role in it. As a co-founder and leader of the so called Czechoslovak voluntary corps (Československý dobrovolnický sbor), a body of Czech and Slovak prisoners of war willing to fight for the idea of an independent Czechoslovakia alongside the forces of the Entente, he inspired roughly 10 000 prisoners to join the corps, which eventually formed the core of the legion. As simple riflemen he died on the day of his 42 birthday in an advance to a machine-gun nest, which only added the aura of a martyr to his legacy. This study deals with his afterlife, that is with the forms of commemorating and celebrating Jan Čapek. Wide span of sources from many different fields such as literature, sculpture, painting, faleristics or topographical naming was utilized. In order to sort them, the idea of a collective memory formulated already by Maurice Halbwachs was put to use in this work. Defining three main groups which preserved the memory on Jan Čapek – surviving legionaries, Sokol movement and Czechoslovak army (drawing on the traditions of the legions), created a structure of the study. Such a method also helped us define different as well as mutual aspects and forms of commemoration of Jan Čapek employed by this groups.
