Abstracts

EN

The paper works with sources that describe the rule of Master Jan Pašek z Vratu over the unified towns of Prague and come primarily from his sworn adversaries. The text analyses the “denunciation strategy” used by Pašek’s opponents and shows that a significant part of the assertions about Pašek is in fact an inversion of the generally recognised ideal of a virtuous Christian ruler.
