The study is continuation of three papers already published in the Vojenská história magazine, which had analysed the causes, development and consequences of the Czech-Hungarian war in 1254 – 1256, the war in 1260 and the third war in 1270 – 1271. The current study deals with the situation following the death of the Hungarian King Stephan V., when the Hungarians provoked a new Hungarian-Czech war, again resulting in the Czech attacks against the Hungarian territory, revealing the military dominance of the Czech forces lead by Přemysl Otakar II. The paper continues dealing with the topic of war over the Babenberg heritage, where this Central European framework concentrates on a detailed analysis of the sources in terms of participation of the Hungarian nobility as well as the course of military events against the background of the relations between the Austrian, Czech and Hungarian countries.

The study is a follow-up to the recently published articles in Vojenská história, which analysed the causes, development and consequences of the Czech-Hungarian wars for the Babenberg heritage. The epilogue of this great Central European conflict from the 2nd half of the 13th century, resulting in the military victories of the Czechs (and defeat of the Hungarians on the other side) and finally in the diplomatic dominance of the Habsburgs, which prevailed over the activities of the Czech king Přemysl Otakar II., represented the final international isolation of the Czech king and the final military conflict, which resulted in the Battle of Marchfeld in 1278, with the Hungarian and Reich units defeating the Czech king. The study continues the topic of war on the Babenberg heritage, in which this Central European focus of the topic against the background of the relationships of the Austrian countries, Czech countries and the Hungarian Crown concentrates on the detailed analysis of sources in terms of participation of the Hungarian noblemen as well as the development of military events. In the Slovak historiography, no sufficient attention was paid to this topic and even if it has been processed in detail abroad, it is beneficial mostly in terms of its orientation on the Hungarian sources, the diplomatic material in particular. The paper is based on a consistent work with the primary sources of both narrative and diplomatic nature, the author has critically researched and put into context. The secondary literature is also largely represented and applied correctly.

The published study analyses the fights of the Kysek family against the Hungarian king Ladislaus IV. and Albrecht I. of Habsburg, the Duke of Austria and Styria in the 1280’s.This family, having the basis in the Western Hungarian border area and centre at the Kysek castle (Hungarian Kőszeg, German Güns) used the chaos in the country for successful resistance against their own monarch. The king did not manage to defeat them neither in 1284 at the Bernstein castle nor during the initially successful campaign of 1286 – 1287. The family’s resistance was only suppressed, following initial minor defeats (in 1284 – 1287), by the Duke Albrecht of Habsburg, in a massive and scathing campaign in 1289. Kyseks lost practically all their positions in the west of the country. Year later without the violent murder of King Ladislaus IV., this situation would probably have remained.

The study is a continuation of two papers already published in the Vojenská história magazine, which had analysed the causes, development and consequences of the Czech-Hungarian war in 1254 – 1256 and the war in 1260. The current study deals with the third war between the Czech and Hungarian Kingdom, which broke out as a result of death of the Hungarian king Belo IV., culminating in an indecisive battle at the Rabca river in Transdanubia. The study has a unique contribution to the Slovak historiography, since the topic has not been processed in such an extent ever before, in spite of being one of the key areas of the 13th century history, in addition to the „big politics“ also reaching to the issues of settlement or town development (the history of Bratislava in particular). The author deals in detail with individual military-historical aspect of these events, especially in terms of comparison of the Hungarian and Czech army during the reign of the Czech king, Přemysl Otakar II. The author collected a significant number of primary sources both of narrative and of diplomatic nature, complemented by the „celebratory” materials processed in favour of the Czech monarch. The paper is based on numerous literature sources, both domestic and foreign.

The study analyses the genesis of the accession of the last Arpad Hungarian King – Andrew III. (1290-1301) to the throne and his subsequent military conflict with the Austro-Styrian duke, Albert I. Habsburg. This war resulted from the previous fights between the powerful Hungarian house of Kysek and the Austrian duke, culminating in his occupation of several west Hungarian castles and towns in 1289. Andrew III., as a new sovereign, had to react to this situation and regain the occupied territories. He managed to achieve this following the initial border collisions of spring 1291. After the previous poor and chaotic reign of Ladislaus IV., he was able to gather sufficient military potential to invade Austria in the summer of 1291. By ravaging the border territories, conquering the castles as well as demonstrating his power to Vienna, he finally forced his “powerless” opponent to sign the so called Peace of Hainburg on 26 August 1291. Thereby, he regained the occupied areas in the west of the country and at the same time headed off the Habsburg claims of the Hungarian crown.

This study analyses the status and activity of two significant Austrian burghers, Paltram from Freithof and Gozzo from Krems in service of Ottokar II, the King of Bohemia and Duke of Austria. They were the supreme clerks under Austrian administration, whereas their financial options as well as their organizing abilities allowed them to get among the elite of high society. They also, like the nobility, could support various clerical institutions particularly monasteries and in the case of Paltram significantly interfere into political events, too. We can see through the example of their different destinies the rise of town elites and general increase of the importance of towns in the middle European area.

The study addresses the policy of the last Arpad king of the Kingdom of Hungary, Andrew III, towards the nobility and a series of military conflicts against the magnate families of Kysek, Borš, Šubić and others, over the period of 1292-1296. In spite of his capture by Ivan of Kysek in 1292, the monarch was able to continue suppressing the uprisings of discontented elites in the country in later years. In this respect, he was supported by his mother, Tomassina Morosini, as well as by members of the clergy and nobility. Last but not least, the dynastic alliance with the Austrian Duke Albrecht I. Habsburg was helpful. In the period under study, Andrew’s reign showed obvious instability, but his court was able to cope with it, at least at that time.

The study deals with the votive offerings after victories and various forms of votive gifts as the tithes promised to deities. This could include building of a temple, statues of the military leaders or gods considered as the architects of their success as well as weapons and items, often made of precious metals, most frequently devoted to Apollo in Delphi. Of particular significance were the tropaia, the victorious monuments built on the site of a battle as well as reports on the burials of the fallen. The conclusion touches symbolically on the subject of fate of some of the memorials to the aforementioned Greek victories.

The first part of the study deals with the analysis of the sacrificial rituals and their impact on the militarism of Ancient Greece. The oracles, as the part of the army, together with captains, determined the strategy before the important decisions to align them with the “will of the gods” based on the oracles’ signs. These included not only situations during the military campaigns themselves but also ahead of them. In this case, the oracles played a significant role, in particular the one in Delphi. However, the sacrifices were also important during crossing borders or rivers, along with the significant role of atmospheric phenomena such as the Solar or Moon eclipse.

Second part of the study deals with sacrifice and signs as a camouflage, i.e. either downright frauds of the military leaders or adaptation thereof to their own intentions, with the aim to positively influence the ethics of their battalions. It was particularly important that the natural and astronomical phenomena were considered as divine signs. These included mainly the Moon and Sun eclipses as well as earthquakes which often paralysed the military activity and usually resulted in stopping or postponing the military campaigns. An irreplaceable position in the Greek army was also held by the oracles that often intervened in the battle directly. They could also influence the military affairs by interpreting dreams, mainly in the case of dreams of military leaders and other significant personalities. Sacrifice and interpretation of signs before the battle itself played an important role. Especially the Spartans did not go into battle until favourable sacrificial signs were revealed to their king. Often, these were the sacrifices of the sfagia type, the king could repeat until the requested signs appeared.

The published article analyses the plundering site in the ancient world warfare. During the expeditions, the grain fields were the main object of interest of the troops in the first place. The plunderers not only used them as their own supply, but we can also see efforts to devastate the hinterland of the enemy side behind their subsequent habitual destruction, which also constituted the usual framework of coercion in an attempt to make them submit or to challenge their army to a direct confrontation. Last but not least, interventions in the water regime of rivers or canals could have had a similar effect, in order to prevent enemy movement by flooding their surroundings.
