This study deals with the fate of the only three Czech royal towns, which during the protracted conflict over the Czech throne (1468–1479) declared themselves under the auspices of the Hungarian ruler Matthias Corvinus (České Budějovice, Pilsen), or had his authority under the title of King of Bohemia (from May 1469) successfully applied over them (Cheb). It reveals the motives for their leaning to the side of Matthias Corvinus and analyses their positions as military powers and, to a lesser extent, intelligence centres, deals with the changes in the holdings of real estate property in the towns in the course of Corvinus’s reign, and shows the compositions of the town councils, their efforts to maintain independent political approaches (especially in the case of Cheb) and the development of their relations with the military command of the city. Attention is also paid to the ecclesiastical administration and cultural level of these municipalities during Matthias’s reign.

This contribution observes changes in the participation of the individual classes of bourgeois society in town administration and the formation of its independent policy towards the sovereign and other groups of Estates’ society in the period between the Hussite Revolution and the defeat of the Estates’ Rebellion in 1620, against the backdrop of several socio-political crises in Prague (namely in The Old Town and The New Town of Prague). It does not study merely the periods of these crises but it primarily pays attention to the consequent periods of relative stabilization of social conditions. It searches for answers to the question to what degree certain „democratic“ features of the system of functioning of the administration in both towns of Prague were maintained and in which direction they developed. Indeed, they significantly influenced the functioning of the system of municipal administration from the period of the Hussite Revolution onwards. The formation and functioning of the early modern administration of the Boroughs of Prague is viewed in the context of Central European development (respectively, the development of the Holy Roman Empire and Imperial towns) as a process of communication between the three fundamental components of municipal administration, i.e. a municipal community, town elders and a council, at the level of administration, as well as at political, religious and economic levels.

The unifying of Polish penny coinage was a long-lasting and multi-stage process that went simultaneously with the political integration of the kingdom that was being built from many duchies and lands in the fourteenth century. There are three sorts of larger coins of King Casimir the Great (1333-70): the Cracow groschen, the kwartnik, and the third coin whose original name remains uncertain. The latter was probably a fourth part of the Cracow groschen and was perhaps called 'small kwartnik'. The large kwartniks of unstable standard were coined in profusion. The king established their compulsory rate as a half groschen. Just after the king's death, in 1370, the governor of Great Poland devalued kwartniks to a quarter groschen, which caused commotion since these coins were actually not so much debased. The Cracow groschen (and small kwartniks) must have been struck earlier. It was probably at the latest in 1365, roughly simultaneously with a similar coinage in Teutonic Prussia. They might have been an unsuccessful attempt to introduce an autonomous groschen coinage, independent from Bohemian issuing authorities.

The essay outlines the nature of sources concerning the history of wizardry and witchcraft processes in the Bohemian lands from the Middle Ages until the second half of the 18th century. The main source of history of wizardry and witchcraft processes in the High and Late Middle Age Bohemian lands comes from narrations. The most important sources of the Early Modern Period until the second half of the 17th century come from the preserved pitch (black) books (smolné knihy). The main sources regarding wizardry and witchcraft processes in the Bohemian lands (and partly in Moravia) from the last quarter of the 17th century until the end of witchcraft in Bohemia (the 1750s) come from sentence manuals of the appeal court which probably registered most of the performed trials.

This review evaluates, in a wider historiographical framework, the methodological approach to the history of the most important branch of the House of the Lords of Kunstat and Podebrady, which significantly influenced the shape of the Lands of Bohemia, in particular the Kingdom of Bohemia and Silesia in the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Age. The history of the Lords of Podebrady, whose rise to power was connected to the activities of the 'Hussite King' George of Podebrady, has been comprehensively dealt with by numerous experts from Hradec Kralove University in a publication printed in the spring of 2008.

The paper aims at refining the information about the composition of a ‘hoard’ found by amateur treasure hunters in Dolné Orešany, Trnava dist. in Slovakia. The ‘hoard’ contains 86 bronze decorations and, initially, it was attributed to the turn of the 8th and 9th centuries. Most items are late Avar decorations the origin and chronology of which is beyond any doubt. Several items, however, aroused suspicions. One of the fittings was classified as Carolingian and, unfortunately, was published as such. Further studies revealed that the ‘hoard’ included items that should be dated back to the period between 1300 and 1450 AD instead. This applies to the fitting initially described as Carolingian. The paper also questions the chronology of some well-known finds that have long been considered to be early medieval.

The text of the study focuses on the feasts of Kings of Hungary in the late Middle Ages. Banquets were an important part of life at medieval royal courts, they took place on various occasions – weddings, councils, meetings of rulers or visits of kings to towns. Despite the relatively high frequency of references to feasting, there are only a few reports in the Hungarian milieu concerning the details of the food and drink at individual feasts. In the text, the author focuses on the chroniclers´ descriptions of some important events that provide information about dining and eating at the Hungarian royal court. The aim of the study is to trace what specific banquets looked like, what food and drink were served, how they reflected the social hierarchy of that time or what preparations were necessary to organize a significant feast. Based on my findings, it can be said that banquets served to present the power and wealth of the host; the way guests were seated reflected and symbolized the social status of particular individuals, their relationships to kings, princes, nobles, or prelates.

Using the example of Nuremberg, the study follows the attempt to use imperial cities for the purpose of the pope and the Roman Curia to unseat the Utraquist George of Poděbrady from the Bohemian throne and launch a new crusade against the Czechs. It analyses their position as military powers and, to a lesser extent, intelligence centres, and shows the composition of city councils and their efforts to maintain independent political progress.

The National Gallery in Prague collection of 15th and 16th century German painting includes, besides works from most major art centres, also works from the Lower Rhineland region (whose major centre was Cologne), Bartholomaeus Bruyn's 'Ascension of Christ' being one of the core works of this group. The article examines formal aspects of the work and its connection to the contemporary scene and tries to answer questions about the function this painting served and its relationship to Bruyn's other early paintings.

The aim of the paper is to present the results of archaeological, architectural-historical and geophysical investigations in relation to the dehumidification of masonry foundation of a national cultural monument Lutheran church in Nitrianska Streda (ÚZ PF 11276/0). The church is situated on the western edge of the lowland village of Nitrianska Streda, on the left Nitra river bank. The archaeological research conducted by Department of Archaeology in Nitra in 2010 brought to light late medieval and modern period pottery fragments and older architecture. For this reason architectural-historical survey of uncovered architecture followed the research. As the southern continuation of the three identified structures were with high probability completely destroyed by the church foundations and crypt, the expected results on the nature of the estate brought the geo-radar research in the northern neighbourhood of the church. Examined national cultural monument can be after results of the research extended to an archaeological site – extinguished late medieval castle. On this site was build the church in 1748 and in 1811 enriched by a tower. The castle is mentioned in written sources from the second half of the 14th century.

The aim of the study is to present the potential of the surviving register of revenue and expenditure of the King of Hungary from 1494–1495 in relation to research on the personal composition of the royal court of Hungary and Bohemia. At the same time, emphasis was placed on the circle of persons from outside the Kingdom of Hungary. Analysis of the account material shows that after 1490, a group of people from the Czech Lands formed a group at the court in Buda that could not be overlooked. If we add to them identified courtiers of Polish – Lithuanian origin or with roots in the German regions of the Holy Roman Empire, they make up more than 60% of the people of noble origin, who gave colour to the court of King Vladislav Jagiello in Buda. A detailed prosopographical analysis of Vladislav’s court in the period 1490–1516 is still lacking. However, the partial analysis of the situation in the mid 1490s shows that it was not just the Hungarian court with a not very important Bohemian appendix, but an institution fully representing both the Hungarian and Bohemian parts of Vladislav’s realms.
