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.
