This study deals with the polemics of the Bohemian ecclesiastical estates with the state apparatus and lay estates in the first half of the 1690s. The positions it adopted at the 1693-1694 Diet are considered to be the pivotal point in the development of the standing of the Bohemian clergy at the Bohemian Land Diet. They ultimately led to the temporary expulsion of clergy from the proceedings. Using sources deposited in local and foreign archives, the author attempts to unveil what the Bohemian clergy really desired and demanded in the 1690s.
