The analytic study is dedicated to the Maximilian’s oath-taking journey to Breslau (Wrocław) in 1563. Attention is paid mainly to the preparation of the city for his arrival and individual phases of the actual solemn entrance (i.e. greeting by delegations, entering the city, welcoming the king by the bishop of Breslau and a solemn service in St. John Baptist’s Cathedral). Preserved sources revealed that the journey had some specific attributes. It was distinctly influenced by other rising Silesian estates, which were obliged (except for several exceptions) to pay oath to the king in Breslau, at the expense of the Breslau city council, which had hitherto held the leading role in accommodating the sovereign. The city councillors had to resign to their privileged positions during Maximilian’s welcoming: the first persons to address him were the bishop of Breslau, who held the office of the chief Silesian commissioner, Silesian dukes and other estate delegations. Maximilian’s oath-taking journey was unique, because it was undertaken when Ferdinand I was still in power. The promise of loyalty was still a matter of negotia-tions in Breslau, which led to a postponement of the oath by some estate owners and abbots of a number of monasteries in Silesia. This may have been one of the reasons why Maximilian (as opposed to Wladislaw Jagiello, Ferdinand I and other rulers until 1620) was not accommodated in patrician houses in the square, but in the so-called emperor’s castle. The study contains an edition of Maximilian’s letter to his father Ferdinand I, dated 27th December 1563. This document had been unknown to the previous research. It brings valuable information on the oath-taking journey (mainly the entry of the city and dealings with estate owners) and represents a unique testimony how Maximilian perceived the welcoming ceremony.

Slezská města na raně novověkých vedutách

100%
EN
The greatest portion of the paper introduced the most important extant vedute of Silesian towns from the early modern era; such vedute became common in this region, as well as in other European regions, after the end of the 15th century (Schedel’s Chronicle 1493). But only during the two subsequent centuries their number increased (vedute by Georg Hayer, Braun-Hogenberg’s Atlas, Merian’s Topography etc.) and their number was the highest in the 18th century – a large set of views of Silesian towns by Fridrich Bernard Werner. The conclusion of the work briefly suggests various ways of the use of vedute in histo-rian’s work.

Based on the preserved sources, the study presented attempted to clarify some of the circumstances connected with the role of the Old Town burgher Kříž in the foundation of two student colleges of the University of Prague, namely the Nazareth and Queen Hedwig Colleges. Also his tie to Bethlehem Chapel was investigated, the creation of which he made possibly through the donation of the plot and designated spaces. Other than the ecclesiastical benefices that he arranged in the chapel, also the ties of both colleges to the chapel were analysed and particularly then Kříž’s effort to connect their administration to the second preacher at Bethlehem Chapel. His endeavour to assure the influence of his own family on the operations of the College of Queen Hedwig was also outlined.

The present study focuses on the administration of royal incomes from the Duchy of Wrocław (Breslau) – one of the Silesian lands that came under the direkt control of the kings of Bohemia – in the period of 1335/1336–1378, with a special emphasis on its written document production. The research is based primarily on an analysis of diplomatic documents currently deposited in the archives in Wrocław.

The essay is dedicated to the educational foundation of Nicolaus Walter of Waltersperk († 1578), which was established at the Prague Utraquist university as a response to his testament from 1577. The first part of the study, which is based on an analysis of extant official sources, concerns on personal aspects of the founder and circumstances leading to establishment of the foundation. The second part concentrates on the scholarship holders (eighteen persons registered by their names for the period of 1600–1614). Their geographical, linguistic-ethnic and confessional composition as well as their subsequent careers were analysed.
