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.

This review paper is an attempt of a general outline of the Czech history (for the whole Crown of Bohemia) from the perspective of Wroclaw, not of Prague, which is justified by the particular role of the Silesian city, which at that time rose to the role of the second to Prague capital of the state. The article is also an attempt to counter the axiology present in Czech historiography, which accentuates the Hussite period. Such “revolutionary” vision of the history of the state led to a peculiar anomaly – the royal power of Sigismund diminished almost entirely, like if the state of Bohemia ceased to be a monarchy. The present paper is also an attempt to bring back into the awareness of historians the Habsburg period in the Czech history (1438–1457), which was longer than the 13 years of the rule of king George of Podebrady (1458–1471), yet it disappears in the general view of the past. The result is the myth of Habsburg assumption of the throne of Bohemia in 1526, while it should be described as the return of the Austrian dynasty to this throne.
