Abstracts

This study consists of a thematic analysis of the anonymous German medieval poem “Minne und Gesellschaft,” which is part of the Minnerede genre (discourses on courtly love). The protagonists of the poem are the Czech King John of Luxembourg and his nobles. The main part of the study introduces the twelve nobles based on references in records from the time. The origin of the poem can be traced to the period between 1317 and 1328. It is especially important for Czech history in that it expands the circle of nobles who temporarily formed the king’s court during his residence in the area of today’s south-western Germany and Luxembourg. A total of six of them were not previously known from any records associated with John of Luxembourg, and their relationship with the Czech king is evidenced only by “Minne und Gesellschaft.”
