The Czech attitude towards the states of Ladislaus Jagiello until 1419. An outline of the problem The article constitutes an attempt to present in a synthetic way the policy conducted by Venceslaus IV of the Luxembourg dynasty towards the Polish Kingdom and the Polish-Czech contacts in the period which preceded the outbreak of the Hussite revolution. The author associates the beginning of the warming of the Czech-Polish relations with the deterioration of the situation within the Luxembourg dynasty around the year 1393 and the conflict between the king and Jednota Panska. A search for potential allies by Venceslaus IV who had felt threatened in his position as ruler, led to his decision to sign an alliance treaty with King Ladislaus Jagiello in the year 1395. In spite of the fact that the position of the Czech monarch continued to weaken, Poland did not become a strategic partner of the Czechs.What turned out to be more significant than political alliances in the pre-Hussite period were the contacts between the intellectual circles of Czechia and Poland, but also these contacts had been abruptly severed by Venceslaus’ proclamation and subsequent implementation of the so called Decree of Kutna Hora. When due to the internal problems and the total collapse of the monarch’s authority following the year 1410, the interest of the Czech Crown in relations with the Kingdom of Poland had practically died down, unsuccesful attempts to win over the sympathy of the Krakow court for the religious novelties had been undertaken by Jan Hus and his supporters.
