Genealogical illegitimacy represents a highly topical issue whose historical roots have not yet been comprehensively mapped in Czech historiography. This presented study pays attention to the relevant Early Modern Age legal norms and mechanisms of ameliorating the position of illegitimate children. From the point of approach to bastards the Bohemian Lands represented an integral part of Central Europe for which a less benevolent attitude was typical. The perspectives of a further research of illegitimacy focused on the milieu of the social elites in the Bohemian Lands are indicated through the intermediary of two specimen cases which are based on archival sources from the 16th and 17th centuries. In the cases of a Southern Bohemian knight Jindřich Pouzar of Michnice resident at Žumberk († 1600) and a military figure Don Balthasar de Marradas y Vique († 1638) of Spanish origins, the author follows the sophisticated strategies of nobles who strove to secure the material standing and a dignified social position for their illegitimate offspring.

The study thematizes selected questions that can be considered as perspective starting points for desired comparative research of the changes undergone by the urban bureaucracy – serving primarily, yet not exclusively, in the town service – in the Bohemian lands during the 18th century that would be more broadly based and set in the context of the Central European development. The studied questions are introduced as parts of three basic areas of issues. In the first one, space is given to townspeople who served as the “cadre” basis of town clerical staff and who were adjusting to the processes of bureaucratization and professionalization. The second area focuses on the course, impacts and period perception of the changes occurring within the town (self-)government, whereas special attention is paid to the phenomenon of regulation of municipalities during the reign of the Emperor Joseph II . The third area deals with the (dis)continuity of town political elites.

This study discusses a pamphlet written in Latin in the year 1574 which had until now remained unpublished and has been preserved in the State Regional Archives in Třeboň in the collection Historica Třeboň. The unknown author of the rhyming text entitled De obitu Caroli IX, Galliarum regis, et de Henrico, Polonorum rege was reacting to the situation in the Polish-Lithuanian state after the flight of Henry III of Valois during the night of the 18th to the 19th of June, 1574. This episode was evaluated in context of the history of the French Valois dynasty, against whose members the author adopted a sharply critical stance (among other things, he emphasizes their share in the bloody St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre in August 1572). However, he presents the Polish aristocrats in a positive light: in the pamphleteer’s conception they were denying the undeserving King Henry the opportunity to advance a bad form of government. This study offers a detailed interpretation of the pamphlet within the wider context of Polish-Lithuanian union relations to the Habsburg Monarchy and the Kingdom of France in the period of the contest for the Polish crown (1572–1573). An integral part of this contribution is also an edition that makes the source herein analyzed available to interested researchers. In particular, historians who are concerned with topics relating to early modern political thinking, communication and public relations can draw upon it.
