The study submitted here has to be understood as a contribution to the ongoing discussion devoted to the role of court parties in the Early Modern Age. Its centre of focus is a power grouping which the historians usually refer to as the Spanish Party/Faction at the Imperial Court. The author deals with the frequency of these terms (including their various language mutations) in contemporary sources and in current historical literature. Applying an analysis of informal links which tied Central European noblemen to the institution of the Spanish Embassy at the Imperial Court in the 16th century and in the first half of the 17th century, he then attempts to answer questions such as what the so-called Spanish Party/Faction was; whether there was a disparity in the understanding of the terms Party and Faction and to what degree these terms correspond to the designation of the relationship network.

The end of the First World War marked the establishment of the Republic of Czechoslovakia as one of the successor states to the now defunct Habsburg Empire and represented a milestone of key importance for the Czech nation in terms of historical developments. The national revolution of 1918 was accompanied by calls of ‘Away from the Habsburgs’ and ‘Away from Rome’, attacking the Catholic Church as a representative of original centralist governance from Vienna. One product of the post-war religious and Church crisis was the foundation of the Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church on 8 January 1920. This was followed by a period of struggle for the church buildings in the Czech lands between 1920 and 1924. During this period, the Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church occupied a number of churches and other buildings which were owned by the Roman Catholic Church. Naturally, the state authorities took up the position that applicable laws had to be adhered to, such that in the end the Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church had to return the churches taken to the Roman Catholic Church, and they then began to build their own premises for holding services with financial support from the state and its followers.

This study, based, in particular, on reports, until now unused in research, from foreign envoys to the Imperial Court; the Hapsburgs’family correspondence, the post-mortem report, deals with the course of the illnesses of Rudolph II., his death and funeral ceremonies in Madrid and Prague. In connection with the spread of the reports of the death of the Central European ruler during the year of 1612, the authors have attempted to gain an insight into the contents and means of communication at the Imperial Court in Prague. They have not failed to pay attention to the activities of influential courtiers and their intelligence networks. At the same time they traced the communication routes between Prague, Antwerp, Brussels, Florence, Madrid, Nuremberg and Rome along which the information about the death of Rudolph II and preparations for his funeral spread. The focus of this study lies in the interpretation of the symbolic importance of the social body of the deceased Emperor. From the lying-in-state of the corpse to the requiem mass, he was entering the collective memory as a virtuous ruler, a Christian knight and a defender of the Catholic faith, like his famous ancestors of the Hapsburg dynasty.
