Sexuální morálka a královská autorita:

100%
EN
The study is devoted to the issue of legal codifications of the Bohemian king Charles IV and the Polish king Casimir III the Great from the perspective of their sexual moral regulation in the form of punishment for the crimes of kidnapping and rape. In it, the author examines in a comparative way the connection of both legal norms to earlier legal customs, their relation to public law initiative, to archaic legal customs and to the social conditionality of the punishment of both sexual crimes.

The extract from Bohemian history in the Zittau chronicle of Johann von Guben: The Town Chronicle of Zittau is actually the earliest urban historiographical work, which was created on the territory of the Kingdom of Bohemia, to which Zittau immediately belonged until the first decades of the 15th century. It was written down by the scribe Johann von Guben, who kept his chronologically ordered, German language records until 1375. The chronicle has been preserved in the original, or in a manuscript, which was commissioned at the latest in 1395. Besides very interesting (and often unique) information on the reign of Charles IV, it also contains glosses from Czech history, which are written in Latin and placed above and below the actual text. It is precisely to those that the printed article / study draws attention.

This article looks at the issue of the posthumous presentation of Charles IV in two funeral sermons given on the occasion of the emperor’s funeral at the end of 1378 by the preacher Henry of Wildenstein (Henricus de Wildenstein, OFM). Using an analysis of topics within the funeral rhetoric, the article author endeavours to point out the religious, and in particular morally exhortative (encouraging) function of the sermons. This is an analytical-interpretative study of an exegetic source.

Charles IV was born at a time when the worst ever famine of the last millenium peaked. His life and reign were dominated by an unprecedented burden imposed upon European society by a worsened climate, crop failures, frequent floods, desolation of the countryside and the Black Death. At the same time, the Czech Lands experienced a remarkable cultural blossoming, primarily under the baton of the sovereign and his court, alongside a phase of territorial acquisitions and a stabilisation of his political power. The author searches for an answer to this seemingly contradictory nature of those times and outlines what the contemporaries had to say about it. Indeed, Charles IV might seemingly have led his life isolated from the crisis-ridden day-to-day normality of his times. Yet, he was repeatedly a direct witness to extreme natural events, which shook the society of his time to the core and posed unusual and extraordinary challenges to it. This study merges the findings from the fields of political history, cultural history and the history of piety with the results of naturalscientific and climatic research. It, thus, aims to give us an insight into the somewhat contradictory personality of Charles IV.

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.

Karel IV. a čeština

EN
The text focuses on different aspects of the relation of Charles IV of Luxembourg, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia, to the Czech language and other languages. As is well known, Charles IV mastered German, Czech, French, Italian and Latin, in both oral and written forms. He was also the author of many literary works (autobiography, legend, parts of chronicles, legal literature). In the Golden Bull (the constitution of the Holy Roman Empire), Charles IV set the Czech language as one of the three official languages of the Empire (together with German and Italian), promoted literature written in Czech and initiated the creation of Klaretovy slovníky. He sponsored the foundation of the Emmaus Monastery in Prague and its scriptorium, where numerous texts in Old Slavonic were created.

The imperial coronation of Charles IV in 1355 has been widely regarded by scholars as of little import and without lasting historical significance. In fact, the opposite is the case. The coronation journey needs to be understood in the wider context of the power struggle between the Holy Roman Empire and papacy in Italy. This article examines the complex situation from the perspectives of Charles and his opponents and supporters in Italy. It demonstrates how the coronation led to a decisive redistribution of power relations in Italy and Europe, resulting in the Golden Bull (1356) and the Aegidian Constitutions (1357). A previously unknown letter by Niccolò Acciaiuoli, who directed the political affairs of the Kingdom of Naples, is discussed here for the first time. It illuminates the political tactics of the opposing Guelphs and the effect of Charles’ presence in Rome on their aims. The article also re-examines the long-disputed question as to why Charles did not accept Petrarch’s invitation to act in Italy as the defender of the res publica, and why the humanist failed to accept the invitation to accompany Charles to Rome.

Koronacja cesarska Karola IV w 1355 r. była dotąd powszechnie uważana przez badaczy za wydarzenie mało istotne i bez większego wpływu na przyszłość. W rzeczywistości było jednak odwrotnie. Podróż koronacyjna Karola IV musi być rozpatrywana w szerszym kontekście walki o władzę we Włoszech między Świętym Cesarstwem Rzymskim a papiestwem. W artykule przeprowadzono analizę skomplikowanej sytuacji z perspektywy Karola oraz jego przeciwników i zwolenników we Włoszech. Ukazano, jak koronacja cesarska Karola IV doprowadziła do zasadniczej zmiany układu sił politycznych we Włoszech i w Europie, co skutkowało w konsekwencji wydaniem Złotej Bulli (1356) i Konstytucji egidiańskich (1357). Autorka po raz pierwszy odwołuje się w swoich rozważaniach do nieznanego wcześniej listu Niccola Acciaiuoliego, który kierował polityką Królestwa Neapolu. List ten rzuca nowe światło na taktykę opozycyjnego stronnictwa gwelfów i wpływu obecności Karola w Rzymie na jego polityczne cele. W artykule postarano się również udzielić odpowiedzi na od dawna przykuwające uwagę uczonych pytanie, dlaczego Karol nie zaakceptował prośby Petrarki, aby podjął we Włoszech działania na rzecz obrony tego, co określano mianem res publica, i dlaczego humanista nie przyjął zaproszenia, aby towarzyszyć Karolowi w jego podróży do Rzymu.
