War history in a broader sense of the word is integrally connected with the historical memory. No matter whether it was a battle which lasted just a few hours or a besiege of a castle or a Down that lasted several months, there could be a remembrance of dead forefathers, contaminated only by unintentional errors and subconscious tendency to heroize, or it could be a purposefully constructed (deformed) picture – the latter example applies to period or modern distortions motivated by various national and ideological intentions. Neumüllers-Klauser has recently demonstrated the broadness, variety and development of various media – mostly on German examples used to commemorate war events. Memorial media usual at a particular period were known and used also in the Czech environment which the author analyses in detail in the initial part of the paper; this section is followed with a case study focused on the memory of the dead in the battle of Vyšehrad (1420) in St. Pancras’ Church.

This article surveys research topics and questions in the discipline of historical geography in the Czech lands between the 13th and 15th century; the author addresses topics and questions currently under study as well as those suggested for the future. The author also discusses the wide reach of the subjekt matter, from the disciplines of history, archeology, toponymy and literary studies, art history, economic and social history, but also the natural sciences.

Designed landscapes were more or less a clear demonstration of status, power and entitlement in all time periods: in their relationship to the audience as well as the landscape itself. In this elementary framework, a medieval castle is a good analogy, visually commanding a landscape and embodying the political and military potential, or a baroque castle complex with extensive gardens, expressing the social status of its owner and his place in the contemporary hierarchy. The design of the landscape – adaptation of natural elements and (primarily) its cultivation and combination with architecture – can be generally regarded as a status symbol. It is evident that the interplay of the ideal and reality affected also a contemporary vedute (views / prospects) of towns, manor houses with designed micro-worlds of manorial gardens, as well as cultural landscapes. Depictions of individual types of environments, landscape frameworks and landscape compositions were based on general idealized models of environments, into which painters and engravers inserted real panoramata of towns and villages as well as other structures (such as castles and chateaux, manor houses and whatever else might interest the public), and did so with greater or lesser degree of adaptation or, if we prefer, invention. This study presents fundamental characteristics of the given genre on selected examples from Bohemia around the year 1700 (pictorial maps, manuscript and printed prospects of cultural landscape with architecure).

The integral bond between a ‘noble domain’ and a ‘noble residence’ like the relation between the development of land tenure and changes in a residential network represent a phenomenon which has been researched mostly for the period of the early modern era and younger; both the territorial as well as functional links between a noble domain (of any size) and a residence (of any type) is a moment applicable timelessly, i.e. also for older periods. Monitoring of the territorial development of a family domain and residential network (as presented on the example of the Zajíc of Házmburk family) raises a range of questions (strategies of land tenure, residential towns and historical land-use) which reflect both, the possibilities, but also the limits of such research in a broader range.

The objective of the paper was to create as komplex as possible picture of how medieval people perceived and saw the surrounding landscape and its individual components and to suggest the ways of contemporary (partial) reconstruction of the appearance of the medieval landscape. In order to achieve the objektive of the paper, written, iconographic and archaeological sources were used and partly also results of natural science research were taken into consideration.

The First Military Survey offers an extraordinary insight into a landscape at the time just after the mid-18th century. This study has two basic objectives: 1) generally to point out the spectrum of possibilities, but also limitations of the testimony of the First Military Survey (map as well as written descriptions), and 2) use the example of Třeboň Region to demonstrate this spectrum, with its uniquely preserved agricultural cultural landscape, to which the results of the survey had not yet been more widely applied.
