In the year 1604, Princesses Catherine Sophia, Anna Mary and Emilia, daughters of the defunct Duke Henry XI of Legnica, they put their seal upon the declaration of their accession to the Bohemian Kingdom. They realized the verbal admission at the same time and acquired Bohemian citizenship in this way. It represents a unique event in early modern Czech period history. This article tries to make the circumstances of this case clear in detail. The activities of the Princesses of Legnica were evidently motivated by the effort to claim the inheritance of the Princess Dorothea Catherine. This lady, who possessed the Touzim Manor in west Bohemia, was their aunt. She was born Markgravine of Brandenburg and would later marry Henry, Prince of Plauen. She died in the beginning of the year 1604 and her nieces decided to claim their right to her estate as the next of kin. The above mentioned legal acts represented a prerequisite to this claim. Besides the Princesses of Legnica, Czech nobleman Christopher Hasistejnsky of Lobkovic raised a claim upon Touzim Manor. He argued that Henry of Plauen owed him a lot of money. The Land Courts of the Bohemian Kingdom had to decide whether the manor, which had legal status of Dorothea Catherine's jointure, should fall to her heirs or to the creditor of her defunct husband. After three years, the decision was given, which in fact meant a success for the Princesses. The Touzim Manor became the property of Christopher Hasistejnsky, but he had to pay the Princesses the sum of 24.175 Rhenish Goldgulden and 40 Kreutzers as the compensation of their valid claims. It should be mentioned, that the Princesses of Legnica attained Bohemian citizenship, but they never lived in Bohemia. Thus, the Princesses are linked to Czech history.

During the search for factors constituting proof of existence of Silesian regional identity in the Late Middle Ages, the author analysed the process of formation and functioning of common tradition. Among the analysed, contributing factors is the name Śląsk/Silesia and the process through which it entered collective awareness. The Piast dynasty was a significant element of this tradition, considering the attempts for preserving their memory, primarily within historiographical works. Saint Hedwig of Silesia (died 1243) was of particular significance within this dynasty, her cult from dynastic in nature changed into regional, she became the patron saint of Silesia. In Silesian tradition Piotr Włostowic (died circa 1151) is very important as well, due to his literary and historiographical prowess he rose towards the status of regional hero. The local church was also significant for the forging of regional identity. This author analysed the actions he took for the purpose of preserving and strengthening within memory the knowledge about the bishops of Wrocław, indicating, among other things, the bishop catalogues, widespread in Silesia. Much attention was paid to the regional discourse, present within chronicles and plentiful chronicle annuals. In late Middle Ages it became the main platform for expression of regional issues. Analysing characteristics of particular events, the author pointed to the tangled routes through which the Silesian regional identity formed. It was primarily a result of far reaching ethnic changes, taking place in Silesia at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries and influence of cultural traits of bordering regions.
