The study provides a comprehensive analysis of the passage on the emergence of Hussitism in the Chronicle written by Burgundy’s official historian, Georges Chastelain (1415–1470). The chapter in question, entitled “Comme il advint, en la cité de Pragues, ne merveilleuse confusion entre religieux et demoiselles”, was written in about 1455. According to Chastelain, the root cause of the chaos and wars was that girls in Prague were falling in love with monks at a local monastery where they would go to attend Mass. In order to deceive the Abbot, they would wear monk’s cowls and shaven tonsures. In Chastelain’s view, this was a complete collapse of values and the established hierarchies. It is therefore no wonder, then, that he placed the chapter on the girls of Prague within immediate proximity of a passage on Joan of Arc, who also had her hair cut short and dressed as a man. In so doing, he could call attention to the fact that women had recently been the cause of unrest and bloodshed. The story of the girls of Prague is not to be found in any other document; however, its sources of inspiration and similarly oriented misogynistic texts can be traced. A comparison with anti-Hussite pieces written in old Czech is also worth considering.

In 2011 a discovery was made at the Department of Prints and Drawings of the National Museum in Warsaw - a drawing hitherto described as a Kneeling knight by an anonymous seventeenth-century artist, turned out to be Joan of Arc, a sketch well-known to art historians studying the oeuvre of Peter Paul Rubens, although thought to be lost during the Second World War. The drawing, until now known only through the black and white photograph, could be thoroughly analysed for the first time. In the context of information thus obtained, the historical context of creating the sketch transpired as an equally important matter, including the hypothetical role that may have been played in its creation by Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc.

Joan ofArc influenced the course of the Hundred Years War. She headed the army of the DauphinCharles to liberate Orléans. Successive generations of authors attempted to answer the question: what was the real role of Joan of Arc in these events? From the chroniclers Perceval de Cagna and Jean Chartier, through the writings of Aeneas Piccolomini and Burgundian historians, a reflection began, marked by a strong national reference; on the threshold of modernity, it was therefore anonymous. The authors of the era of the Enlightenment and Romanticism looked at Joan’s achievements from the perspective of the new social situation and the archival materials they were able to query, then she became the subject of reflectionas an individual’s model of conduct.

Joanna d’Arc wpłynęła na przebieg wojny stuletniej. Stanęła na czele armii delfina Karola, zmierzającej do wyzwolenia Orleanu. Kolejne pokolenia autorów podejmowały próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie: Jaka była rzeczywista rola Joanny w tych wydarzeniach? Począwszy od kronikarzy Percevala de Cagny i Jeana Chartiera, poprzez zapiski Eneasza Piccolominiego oraz historyków burgundzkich, rozwijała się refleksja, naznaczonamocnym narodowym odniesieniem. U progu nowożytności była w związku z tym anonimowa. Autorzy epoki oświecenia oraz romantyzmu spoglądali na dokonania Joanny z perspektywy nowej sytuacji społecznej, oraz umożliwionej im kwerendy materiałów archiwalnych. W taki sposób Joanna stawała się przedmiotem refleksji jako wzorzec postępowania jednostki.

The study deals with an analysis of the 15th century Czech travel writings. First part is focused on narrative strategies of autobiographical travel writing and the relationship between narrator and reader model is studied. Second part of the study looks into the narrative and cultural contexts of the frame stories and anecdotes included into travel writings. Their function in a travelogue conception just as their role in the local identities is examined. These stories are an important instrument as they enable both the traveller to understand the region he visited and the travel writer to relate his experience.

As shown by the trial which declared in 1456 the nullity of the sentence of death pronounced against Joan of Arc 25 years before, the first trial was tangled with numerous canonical irregularities. The article first deals with the prerequisites of the trial, the conditions of the arrest of Joan of Arc, of detention in an English jail in an inhuman way, and the non respect of the norms related to a trial which was supposed to be a religious one, that is to say against somebody accused of heresy, schism, idolatry, witchcraft and of being relapse. Then the author describes the unfolding of the trial, highlighting one by one the vices and defaults of the former sentence, as well as the masquerade of abjuration in Saint-Ouen, in the city of Rouen. For the Great Inquisitor of France, the sentence of 1431 was null for six reasons: 1) incompetence of judges, for default of juridiction on part of Cauchon, Bishop of Beauvais. - 2) obvious malicious intent and partiality of Cauchon. - 3) the fact that the sentence was pronounced after challenge and appeal. - 4) falsification of the acts. - 5) suspicions which was taken as basis of the trial. - 6) obvious iniquity and et intolerable error of the sentence.
