Abstracts

EN

Using an example of the Czech noble Waldstein family, the article addresses an important issue of whether a confession could serve as an element unifying members of a certain noble family or its ancestral branches in the multi-confessional environment in Bohemia in the period preceding the Battle of White Mountain. Based on an analysis of fates and confessional profiling of the individual members of the Waldstein family the article offers a coherent picture of the religious history of the family in the second half of the 16th century and at the beginning of the 17th century. It thus strives to find factors that can, also at the general level, reveal whether a given nobleman professed Catholicism, conservative Utraquism, Utraquism, Lutheranism or the teaching of the Unity of Brethren.
