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 Chancellor’s Two Bodies? The “Real” and the “Virtual” Career of Kaspar Schlick under King and Emperor Sigismund – Epilogue to an Old Research Topic II: The present article is part two of a three-piece study on the remarkable career and the social advancement of Kaspar Schlick (c. 1400-1449) who subsequently served as an imperial chancellor to the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire, Sigismund, Albrecht II and Frederick III. Whereas part one, published in MHB 15/2, 2012, was dedicated to the actual career of the chancellor, the following article focuses on a painstaking diplomatic and paleographic analysis of the complex stock of falsifications kept in the Schlick family archive in Zámrsk.

The present article is part one of a three-piece study on the remarkable career and the social advancement of Kaspar Schlick (c. 1400–1449) who subsequently served as an imperial chancellor to the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire, Sigismund, Albrecht II and Frederick III. The authors aim at a comprehensive juxtaposition of Schlick’s “real” curriculum vitae as suggested by the evidence of genuine contemporary sources with the outlines of a merely “virtual” process of climbing in official functions and social status designed and expressed by Schlick himself in a chain of diplomatic forgeries.

The Chancellor’s Two Bodies? The „Real“ and the „Virtual“ Career of Kaspar Schlick under King and Emperor Sigismund – Epilogue to an Old Research Topic III: The present article concludes a three-piece study on the remarkable career and the social advancement of Kaspar Schlick (c. 1400–1449) who subsequently served as an imperial chancellor to the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire, Sigismund, Albrecht II and Frederick III. Part one, published in MHB 15/2, 2012, was dedicated to the actual career of the chancellor starting from the diffuse origins of the family and the early stages of Schlick’s service in the imperial chancery, proceeding to his promotion to the leading function of the chancellor and his vital influence on diplomacy and politics during the reign of Emperor Sigismund and ending with a sketch of Kaspar’s position under Albrecht II and Frederick III. Part two focussed on a painstaking diplomatic and paleographic analysis of the complex stock of falsifications kept in the Schlick family archive in Zámrsk. The present article tries to shed light on the way how the forgeries were used by Schlick and his heirs. The study is completed by an edition of 21 documents from the Schlick family archive.
