The article explores two poorly researched aspects of the funerals of Church dignitaries. One of them is the widely understood logistics of the ceremony, including the problems that had to be solved in connection with the choice of the place and time, as well as the organisation of the ceremonial escort of the body to the church. The other one is the political and ideological import of bishops’ funerals, which was particularly significant when bishops combined their ecclesiastical functions with the role of lay lords, as was the case with the bishops of Wrocław (Breslau). Due to the special role of symbolic communication in pre-modern societies it is necessary to consider to what extent funeral ceremonies were used for that purpose. The public character of bishops’ funerals made them a tool of legitimising and stabilising the authority. The funerals of Wrocław bishops is relatively well documented. Particularly valuable among the preserved documents is the agenda of the funeral of Henryk of Wierzbna, including a detailed description of the funeral liturgy. The detailed accounts from the second half of the 15th c. make it possible to reconstruct both the ceremonies and the course of their preparation. From the 16th c. onwards the varied sources available give more insight into the ideological aspect of those public spectacles. To illustrate the political aspect of the ceremonies, the article analyses the valediction address delivered at the funeral of bishop Balthasar von Promnitz (d. 1562).

The paper contains a new edition of the list of proscriptions from the region of Nysa (Neisse), prepared in accordance with the modern standards of editorship and with scholarly apparatus. The previous editions were based on the 18th century reading by S. B. Klose, while the original source was considered in literature to have been lost.

An analysis of crucial legal and systemic issues indicates that the most important aspect in forming the regional cohesion of Silesia was the “transformation” in the 13th century, including the reception of German law and the institution of self-governing municipality. The main factor determining the functionality of administrative and judicial structures was the furthering territorial fragmentation. In the 12th century the provincial comites, appointed by the principes, as well as the Bishops of Wrocław, performed the function of intermediaries between Silesia and the rest of the Monarchy. After 1163 the Silesian dukes concentrated on the particular needs of their forming territorial dominions, sometimes used also as power base for the realisation of state-wide political concepts. Hence the initiatives undertaken for the purpose of consolidating the duchies in the administrative and economic spheres, utilising innovative socio-systemic mechanisms, such as: establishment of new towns, castle construction as well as reforms of administration of both the Castellans and Weichbilds and promoting migration of foreign knights. Yet another breakthrough took place when the Silesian duchies fell under direct or feudal dominion of the Bohemian Crown. Seeing as the House of Luxembourg was not interested in the creation of centralised institutions and did not interfere in internal relations between the duchies the institutional differences deepened. Unification policies took shape only within individual duchies, with limitations of such policies and focus on short-term solutions being evident. Attempts to make the administrative structures uniform were rare, this is especially evident in context of incorporated areas. The rapid changes in the feudal fragmentation proved a hindrance to unification activities as well. Remaining within a singular church structure and one political organism was, however, a cohesive factor.
