This article looks at the issue of the posthumous presentation of Charles IV in two funeral sermons given on the occasion of the emperor’s funeral at the end of 1378 by the preacher Henry of Wildenstein (Henricus de Wildenstein, OFM). Using an analysis of topics within the funeral rhetoric, the article author endeavours to point out the religious, and in particular morally exhortative (encouraging) function of the sermons. This is an analytical-interpretative study of an exegetic source.
