The article deals with the appearance of Saxon House in Lesser Town in Prague (house No. 55/ III). Special attention is paid to the question of the typological categorization and genesis of its architecture, which demonstrates numerous French and Italian analogies. This is also connected with the question of the builder, who with the greatest likelihood was the Bohemian ruler John of Luxembourg or the young Charles IV.

The article deals with the various viewpoints concerning the reception of the core of government as perceived by the Luxembourgs and by the Piasts of Silesia throughout the 14th century. On one hand, the feudal principle stands out clearly, on the other hand, it is the hereditary right that is dominant. However, neither Luxembourgs nor Silesian dukes applied the one legal principle rigorously. The selected examples show the situations where the above-mentioned principles were applied and how.

The article deals in detail with two military campaigns of Roman Emperor Charles IV. in 1371–1373 that led to the acquisition of the Margraviate of Brandenburg for the Luxembourg dynasty. First, the author overviews the roots of the conflict between Charles IV and the Brandenburg margrave Otto V. of Bavaria as it led to the war over Brandenburg. Since the political and diplomatic background of the conflict has been analysed in depth, here, the author focuses on the military aspects of the conflict. He uses narrative sources as well as documents originating in the Lands of the Crown of Bohemia side by side with documents from the Holy Roman Empire to review and refine the findings of previous research. Chronologically, he describes both military campaigns, trying to find out as much as possible about the movements and activities of each of the armies and the main adversaries (Charles IV and Otto of Bavaria). It stands out that margrave Otto had little chance at success, as he was completely driven back by the Emperor, both diplomatically and by military force. In the end, the article deals with the perception of the Brandenburg conflict by its contemporaries. The final financial compensation offered to Otto by Charles, and his acceptance of the financial solution, are seen as a result of a successful military campaign led by the Emperor.

The article maps the period of the rise of the House of Mecklenburg from 1167 to 1348, when Mecklenburg was undergoing a long-term process of integrating into the imperial structures following the fall of the Obotritic tribal state. This process was officialy finalised by Charles IV, who ceremonially raised the two brothers Albrecht II. and John I. to imperial Dukes in July 1348. Albrecht was an ambitious ruler and the period of his rule marked the beginning of powerful foreign policy of the House of Mecklenburg. With the rise of the House of Mecklenburg, the need for codification and legitimization of the ancient royal tradition arose in order to support the ambitions of the Mecklenburgs. This article also mentions several aspects of the evolution of genealogic and heraldic tales about the family in the works of Ernst Kirchberg and Nicolaus Marschalk.

The article deals with the dynastic policies of Charles IV. and his ideas about the arrangement of government in the Crown of Bohemia. It refers to so-called emperor’s testaments where the emperor describes in detail the succesion of the male members of the Luxembourg line and denotes their rank in rule. The pillar of the whole structure was the King of Bohemia, the absolute sovereign over all of the lands of the Crown of Bohemia. The remaining Luxembourgs were to hold their lands as a royal tenure. In this spirit, Charles IV. created a whole new duchy of Görlitz for his son John.
