This study follows the life of the merchant Reinhard of Reims, who moved to Prague in the 1390s and amassed significant property and a fair amount of political power due to his business activities. When the Hussite Revolution began, however, he had to leave Prague, and all his assets remaining in Bohemia were confiscated due to his political and religious beliefs. Like many other Prague merchants, he found a new home in Wroclaw, Silesia, a major hub for international trade. Reinhard continued to conduct his trade from exile in Wroclaw, taking part in the retrieval of valuables from abandoned Czech monasteries and other activities of exiles from Bohemia. After a peace was reached and Emperor Sigismund took the Czech throne, Reinhard achieved the restitution of some of his confiscated property.

The present essay contributes to the prosopographical research on King and Emperor Sigismund’s court, chancery and alliance system. The author, who also intends to write a study on Sigismund’s Bohemian courtiers in the near future, focuses on the Moravian members of the court and the chandry as well as on Sigismund’s allies residing in the margraviate for this time. He deals with the Moravian aristocracy and lesser nobility, burghers and clerics. Besides, he presents a list of those persons who stayed in contact with the royal court in some formal way, who allied themselves with Sigismund or who belonged to his party at least for a while.

The paper focuses on the relationship of Czech and Moravian nobility to alcohol according to financial sources until the beginning of the Hussite Revolution. More attention is paid to the production of alcohol (mainly beer, less wine) on aristocratic domains. For the High Middle Ages, it seems that a noble estate was not even self-sufficient in the production of alcoholic beverages. The situation in the early modern period, where efficient farming generates surpluses for the market, and the nobles force their subjects to consume beer from the estate breweries, is still a long way off. This is partly confirmed by the sources showing the consumption of alcohol (beer, wine and occasionally mead).
