The study is concerned with the little-known family of the Cholov Korkas of Korkyně, apparently of Hungarian origin, whose members lived in Bohemia in the first half of the 17th century. While examining the issue of granting inhabitant rights, the study simultaneously demonstrates the problem of unclear social status, which had to be dealt with many times in this context. For instance, Linhart Korka Cholovský, who in 1614 asked to be accepted into Bohemia along with his knighthood, had to finally settle for being accepted as a burgess of the Old Town of Prague.

The study is concerned with the issue of social mobility within the estates of the realm in Bohemia and Moravia; more specifically, instances of ascension of the lower gentry to the noble estate in the 1500s and the early 1600s. The issue is examined a priori from the point of view of the monarch‘srole in this process, primarily the defining of the normative and factual task of issuing royal decrees of ascension in the context of legally warranted autonomy of estate corporations; the autonomy to accept new estate members at the Bohemian Land Diet.

The study deals with the issue of the legal capacity of towns and their burghers to acquire tables estates in the Bohemian kingdom in the Middle Ages and the early modern period. This legal capacity was, in principle, tied to royal permission on a case-by-case basis. Already in the Middle Ages, however, some towns received a privilege that exempted them from the obligation to apply for royal approval across the board. The main focus of the study is on the period of the 16th century, when the towns of Prague were temporarily deprived of this privilege, but on the contrary, they received the same right during the reign of Rudolf II as well as two other cities – Pilsen and Žatec. The aim is not only to interpret the content of the mentioned privileges, but also to place them in a wider legal framework and, last but not least, to warn about the unsuccessful initiative of Lesser Town to obtain the same privilege from the monarch.
