On the possibility of research of the sovereign court in the Late Middle Ages in the Czech lands: The study presents a synopsis of the existing scholarship on the theme of courtly research in the Czech lands, which has taken place in various qualities and quantities since the end of the 1970s. It summarizes the individual results and existing methodological routes while pointing out the as-yet untouched or insufficiently elaborated themes. It predominantly points out the so-far minimal research in this sense in the Late Middle Ages, or in the 15th century, in the Czech lands. Among others, also a treatment of the court of the famous King George of Poděbrady here.

The study summarizes the results of the previous research of a residential court that was created by the Dowager Queens Barbora Celská and Johana of Rožmitál at the Castle in the Dowry Town of Mělník. It describes the clerical and representative components of a residential courtyard headed by a court marshal and a court hofmister, reveals and compares the activity of the Mělník‘s office of both dowager queens and shows the court as an administrative center. The main difficulty for the court was the lack of financial resources, which was easier for Dowager Queen Johana to cope, despite her much greater political engagement.

The treatise follows the development of the mutual relations of the opposition group of the Bohemian Catholic nobility of the so-called League of Zelená Hora and Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III of Habsburg, whose support was besides the Pope to legitimate the resistance of the aristocracy against King George of Poděbrady. It shows the property interests of the leading representatives of the League in Austria, reveals the ties to the personalities of Frederick’s court, assesses the impact of the Affair with Poisons from 1465 and the motives of the parties involved. The emperor’s support was not enough to gain military assistance from the Holy Roman Empire, so in the end the League of Zelená Hora offered the Bohemian throne to the Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus. After the death of George of Poděbrady, this organization lost any real interest in the continuation of the war, tried for a certain balance between the emperor and the king of Hungary Matthias Corvinus, but managed to avoid Corvinus using his personal conflict with Frederick III from 1476–1477 to his own advantage.

The purpose of this work is to present an analysis of cribra orbitalia (CO) from the population of a medieval cemetery in Vilnius, Lithuania, dated between the end of the 13th to the beginning of the 15th centuries. The sample consisted of 208 individuals with sufficiently preserved orbits: 82 subadults and 122 adults. CO was correlated with sex, age-at-death, and three skeletal indicators of biological health: linear enamel hypoplasia, periostitis, and adult femur length as a proxy value for stature. Siler's and Gompertz-Makeham's parametric models of mortality as well as χ2 statistics were used to evaluate these relationships. Almost one-third of all analyzed individuals had signs of CO, including approximately 60% of the subadults. There was a very strong relationship between the age-at-death and incidence of CO, i.e., individuals with the lesion were dying much younger. The frequency of CO among the sexes was not statistically significant. On the other hand, CO had a negative effect only on adult males, i.e., males who had the lesion died at a younger age. Furthermore, CO and linear enamel hypoplasia were positively related for subadults, whereas no significant relationships were found among adults of corresponding sex. Incidence of periostitis and adult stature were not related to CO.

Celem tej pracy była analizacribra orbitalia(CO) w populacji ze średniowiecznego Wilna (Litwa), zbadanej na podstawie próby szkieletów z cmentarzyska datowanego od końca XIII do początków XV wieku. Podstawowe charakterystyki paleodemograficzne tej próby (208 osobników, w tym 82 młodocianych) zawiera tabela 1. Zbadano korelację CO z płcią, wiekiem w chwili śmierci i trzema kostnymi wyznacznikami zdrowia - hipoplazją szkliwa zębowego (LEH), śladami zapalenia okostnej i wysokością ciała (dorosłych). Do oceny zależności wykorzystano parametryczne modele umieralności Silera i Gompertz-Makehama oraz statystykę χ2.Prawie 1/3 badanych osobników (32%)wykazywała CO, w tym 60% osobników młodocianych (zmarłych przed 15 rokiem życia). Ponadto analiza wykazała wysoką zależność między tą cechą a wiekiem w chwili śmierci - osoby ze śladami CO umierały znacznie młodziej (Fig. 1, 2). Może to sugerować, ze ważnym czynnikiem podnoszącym ryzyko zgonu wśród osobników młodocianych była anemia. Co więcej, jeśli nie są to ślady remodelowania, mogą one sugerować, że stresujące wydarzenia z dzieciństwa wpłynęły także pośrednio lub bezpośrednio na przeżywalność osób dorosłych. Choć u dorosłych kobiet CO występowały nieco częściej niż u mężczyzn, różnica nie była istotna. Z drugiej strony, CO miały negatywny wpływ tylko na dorosłych mężczyzn (umierali oni młodziej). Być może kobiety miały więc sprawniejszy układ odpornościowy. Innym wyjaśnieniem mogłaby być śmierć bardziej wrażliwych na ten czynnik dziewcząt w wieku młodocianym. CO pozytywnie korelowały z LEH u młodocianych, podczas gdy istotnych korelacji u dorosłych nie stwierdzono (tab. 2). Można sądzić, że młodociane i słabe osobniki z cechą CO, z większym prawdopodobieństwem miały LEH. Tak więc interakcje obu czynników sygnalizowanych obecnością cech CO i LEH mogły być odpowiedzialne za skracanie życia młodych osobników.Periostitisi wysokość ciała w badanej próbie nie wykazywały związku z CO (tab. 2).

Case studies of watermills that ceased to exist during the 20th century, examined via archaeological methods in the regions of West and Northwest Bohemia, have brought significant findings in the form of particular building stages from the oldest times to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The Watermill of Hutmühle (Litoměřice district, Northwest Bohemia, near the village of Zubrice) was the most thoroughly investigated site. In the scope of this archaeological excavation, various methodological differences, possibilities and limits of research of such sites appeared. Based on the scientific activities performed, it is evident that these watermills are highly valuable technical sights, which shall be paid more attention to in terms of both archaeological and historical monument care.

Since the creation and application of the borough rights the oath formed an important part of life of urban communities. The very act of oath had initially legitimized the status of the urban community as a collective (the oath taken by whole community to the sovereign) and the status of its highest representatives (councilors oath of office to the sovereign or to his representative) and had been consolidating its internal integrity (oath of newly recruited townspeople). Gradually, within the sources we could meet with the spreading practice of application of oath, especially in the area of administration and self-government, and the oath itself had slowly turned into some secularized and formalized variation of its former form and became a part of the bureaucratic practice. Records of oaths, which are preserved in various types of municipal books, thus provide testimony not only about the transformation and development of mechanisms of functioning of urban community from the Middle Ages to Early Modern Times, but also about the development of values and principles on which the idea of urban community was built. The potential of investigation of this sources lies precisely in the possibility of following the practical and theoretical aspects of life in medieval and early modern city.

At the end of 2008 and beginning of 2009, resque archaeological excavation was conducted during the reconstruction of the floor in Vladislav Hall of Prague Castle. The research was limited in the major part of the Hall to the surface terrain with the exception of eight trenches in various parts of the Hall, but always at the external walls. It is substantial for the method of the research and its conclusions that all of the selected backfill was sifted and partially also floated. The items found characterize several areas of everyday life. The components of clothing are numerous (buttons, clasps, needles, leather bags and fragments of shoes, a ring, a pendant or part of an earring, pins and thimbles). The personal equipment includes a pocket sundial of wood. There were feasts on celebratory occasions in the hall, which is proved by tableware (a knife, wooden spoons, fragments of glass vessels). Another significant function of the Hall was also the operation of a marketplace. The testimony on business transactions are fragments of leather purses and scales (including a set of nested weights). The coin finds are also related at least partially with this activity. Most of the finds can be chronologically placed in the second half of the 16th century and earlier part of the 17th century. They clearly prove that the Hall fulfilled several functions at that time. It was always connected with social communication (public ceremonies, the sessions of the estates’ diet).

The presented contribution contains a discussion and a version of the document on the Bezławki settlement (Germ. Bäslack) dated 29 June 1409. This source survived only as a 16th-century copy included in a larger notebook with excerpts of documents confirming the bestowal of lands, estate sale and purchase transactions and land borders within the Rastenburg Hauptamt. Next to information relevant to the history of Bezławki and the nearby settlements, the discussed document also presents the manner of creating dependencies between the less affluent and the rich landowners belonging to the group of the so-called free men (Germ. Freien). As a result, it illustrates the mediatisation process, which is rather poorly confirmed by source documents and virtually non-researched for Prussia of the 1st half of the 15th century.

This study deals with the phenomena of aristocratic warfare and violence in late medieval Bohemia. Its main aim is to analyse the change, or the assumed retreat of aristocratic warfare from the life of the Bohemian nobility in the declining years of the Middle Ages. It makes use of the semantic analysis of the key terms used for designating aristocratic armed conflict, while it simultaneously questions some established terms as well as their accepted assessments; it also examines the viability and variability of the chivalric ideal owing to religious conflicts; further it approaches the legal background of the social order and focuses upon aristocratic warfare and violence as a social code in the context of changing social conditions. It demonstrates what a significant role in the process of forming the Early Modern society was played by an aristocratic ethos, which became the basis of a changeable, yet very viable social order in Late Medieval Bohemia.

Już co najmniej od XIX w. w badaniach nad uzbrojeniem wykorzystywane są źródła ikonograficzne. Dzieła sztuki pozwalają nam również wniknąć w świat nieoświetlony zazwyczaj przez źródła materialne: mentalności, wiary, przesądów. Z ilustracją takiej sytuacji mamy prawdopodobnie do czynienia również w wypadku fresków w kościele p.w. św. Marcina w podżagańskim Wichowie. Malowidła z Wichowa mogły powstać na podstawie malarstwa tablicowego, lub pewniej miniaturowego. Kompozycja interesującego nas Ukrzyżowania nawiązuje do form znanych z czeskich oraz śląskich rękopisów iluminowanych z przełomu XIV i XV stulecia oraz początków wieku XV. Według poznańskiej badaczki pozwala to uznać je za dzieło miejscowej twórczości cechowej rozwijane na użytek dydaktyki w kościołach parafialnych. W niniejszym tekście interesować będzie nas przede wszystkim występująca w scenie Ukrzyżowania Chrystusa tarcza, którą dzierży wskazujący na Ukrzyżowanego dowódca jego oprawców. Na trójkątnego kształtu zabytku wyobrażono twarz brodatego mężczyzny o satyrycznie powiększonych oczach i nosie. Typologicznie tarcza mieści się w formach trójkątnych, występujących głównie w XIII i XIV w. Ich występowanie w wieku XV nie powinno jednak dziwić, gdyż były one jako tarcze funeralne używane również w tym czasie.

Landfriede Movement in the Upper and Lower Lusatia in the Middle European Context: The study deals with the specifics of landfriede movement in Upper and Lower Lusatia from the Central European point of view. It follows first the emergence of the first city leagues intended to protect public order, which transform into more complex associations and unions. It also shows the development of landfriede unions that led both to the strengthening of internal security of the participating countries, and establishing cooperation with foreign subjects. The development of landfriede movement culminates with the emergence of first genuine landfriedes during the reign of Matthias Corvinus. The work as well proposes possibilities to classify the monitored institutions. The development in Upper Lusatia is probably most specific with the Lusatian League (1346), which took over an important part of caring for ensuring security in the country. Landriedes as such were accepted in Upper and Lower Lusatia as a result of Corvinus’s initiative (first in 1474) which led to mutual administrative bondage to his controlled lands in Bohemia. Both countries, though, have a rich tradition in institutions carrying mostly not directly landfriede character to this historical phenomenon in the history of public care to ensure law and order, or in the contemporary lexicon “landfriede”.

The study deals with the representation of Prague’s New Town in the Late Middle Ages. The intellectuals connected with the municipal office derived the identity of the town from the person of its founder – Emperor Charles IV. The town scribes and preachers called Prague’s New Town the “residential town of Emperor Charles”. The study’s author progressively handles several questions. He first deals with the term stolice (stool – residential town) and its use in medieval Czech. In the second part of the study, examples are mentioned of the relations between the royal residence and the town. The third part of the study deals with the royal representation in the urban milieu and the political communication of Prague’s New Town, which had to defend its economic, legal and power independence from Prague’s Old Town.

Both Catholics and later Protestants yearned to practice their faith at home. For both, the Last Supper held significance as it was then that Jesus requested the Apostles to drink wine and partake of bread, transfigured respectively into the blood and the flesh of the Lord. Catholics believed that the Transfiguration took place for real, hence their use of tin “Hansekanne” flagons with a pilgrim’s badge or devotional plaques inside them, most often with a scene of the Crucifixion. Protestants treated the Transfiguration in purely symbolic terms and used clay jugs with the scene of the Crucifixion depicted on the outside surface. Moreover, there is a clay plate with a scene of the Crucifixion, which presumably served to sacralize the bread that it held.

The archaeological excavations in Staw, Czarnożyły commune, Wieluń county, at site 3 embraced an area of 190 ares and revealed a total of 536 features of varied function and chronology. The site provided a large amount of relic material mainly in the form of ceramic flakes, flint artefacts, pugging and metal items. The recorded flint material bears testimony to human presence in the area since the end of the Palaeolithic. Also traces of Mesolithic and Neolithic communities were revealed, which bore relation to the Funnel beaker culture, as well as settlement of the Trzciniec culture. The majority of the relics can be attributed to the settlement of the early Lusatian culture from the 3rd-4th period of the Bronze Age. Other findings included materials of the Przeworsk culture from the end of the younger pre-Roman period and the beginning of the Roman period, as well as from the Middle Ages – both the early (9th-10th century) and the late (second half of the 14th and the 15th century).

The aim of the article is to present trade contacts between Prussia and Hungary from the end of the 13th century to the mid-15th century. The problem has hitherto remained beyond the interest of researchers dealing with trade relations. On the basis of the Hanseatic, Polish and Hungarian sources the author analyses the structure of goods being traded, participants of the trade and trade routes. The author points out the connection between the development of trade contacts with political relations in East Central Europe. After the death of King Louis I of Hungary (1382) the trade conducted between Hungary and Prussia, which went through the Polish territories, became heavily dependent on the balance of power between the Teutonic Order, the Kingdom of Poland and the Kingdom of Hungary. The author underlines that the range of goods which were the subject of the trade started to grow at the end of the 13th century. Apart from metals (copper, iron, silver) Hungarian merchants sold to Prussian merchants wax, furs, wine, cheap cloth and southern products such as fruit, spice and condiments. In the 15th century Melnaterite (Kupferwasser), the mineral used in dyeing, was exported from Upper Hungary to the Baltic zone. Merchants from Prussian towns exported to Hungary goods imported from West Europe, mainly cloth. Until the mid-15th century the main role in Prussian trade with Hungary was played by merchants from Toruń, while in the second half of the 15th century their place was taken over by merchants from Gdańsk.

Ziel des Artikels ist die Präsentation der Handelskontakte zwischen Preußen und Ungarn vom Ende des 13. bis zur Mitte de 15. Jahrhunderts. Diese Problematik stand in der bisherigen Forschung im Schatten des Interesses für die Handelskontakte zwischen Polen und Ungarn. Auf der Grundlage von Quellen der Hanse, aus Polen und Ungarn analysiert der Autor die Warenstruktur des Handels, seine Beteiligten und die Handelswege. Er zeigt Verbindungen zwischen der Entwicklung der Handelskontakte und den politischen Verhältnissen in Mittelosteuropa auf. Vor allem in der Zeit nach dem Tod von Ludwig I. (1382) geriet der Handel zwischen Ungarn und Preußen über polnisches Gebiet in starke Abhängigkeit vom Kräfteverhältnis zwischen dem Deutschen Orden, dem Königreich Polen und dem Königreich Ungarn. Der Autor zeigt auf, wie seit dem Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts das Warensortiment im Handel wuchs. Außer Metallen (Kupfer, Eisen, Silber) verkauften die Kaufleute aus Ungarn den Kaufleuten aus Preußen Wachs, Felle, Wein, billige Tuche und Waren aus dem Süden (Früchte, Wurzeln, Gewürze). Im 15. Jahrhundert wurde Melanterit (Kupferwasser, Eisenvitriol) aus Ungarn an die Ostsee ausgeführt, ein Mineral, das unter anderem im Färbergewerbe benutzt wurde. Kaufleute aus den preußischen Städten exportierten nach Ungarn Waren, die sie aus Westeuropa importiert hatten, vor allem Tuch. Bis zur Mitte des 15. Jahrhunderts spielten Kaufleute aus Thorn die bedeutendste Rolle im preußischen Handel mit Ungarn, in der zweiten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts wurde ihr Platz von Kaufleuten aus Danzig eingenommen.

A Late medieval motte-and-bailey timber castle in Gieczno was recognized by an analysis of the LiDAR derived Digital Terrain Model in 2014. The stronghold’s remnants are situated in the Moszczenica River valley, on a small hillock – most probably the residual terrace. It is preserved as a small mound, elevated no more then 1,5 m above the surrounding floodplain in the bottom of the valley. The mound has dimensions of 31 x 33 m and an area of about 890 m2. It is surrounded by a moat, about 8 to 10 m wide, and an adjacent low rampart not exceeding the height of 0.5 in relation to the bottom of the moat. The course of the rampart is interrupted in the south-eastern part. Another small, oval hillock with dimensions of approximately 23.4 x 37.9 m is noticeable there. This find should be interpreted as remains of a motte and bailey castle with an economic area which supplemented the mound. In 2015, a field investigation was run by Jerzy Sikora from the Institute of Archaeology of University of Łódź. During two weeks of field work, two trenches were explored: Trench 1 (with dimensions of 1,5 x 35 m) cut the mound from its center to the South through the moat and the outer rampart in order to obtain a cross section of the feature. Trench 2 (with dimensions of 12 x 1,5 m) was situated on the hillock (supposedly – motte) with the aim to recognize its stratigraphy. During the excavation, a collection of Late Medieval potsherds was obtain (1472 pieces) together with a small number of metal finds, bones, slag pieces and a carved wooden artefact – a part of the Late Medieval furniture piece. An analysis of the collection helped to establish its chronology to the 14th and first half of 15th centuries. The collection was distinguished by a significant number of potsherds made with the use of traditional methods and a relatively low amount of potsherds fired in a reducing (oxidizing) atmosphere. This indicates ties with the local, rural workshops rather than with the advanced manufacturing known in towns. The excavations of the Gieczno stronghold revealed two phases of the feature: • Phase I – the timber ringwork, protected with a small inner rampart, a palisade, a moat and an outer rampart can be dated by the radiocarbon analysis supported by an analysis of the finds to the 1st quarter of the14th century.

The study uses the methodological approaches of the so-called new material culture and, through their prism, looks at several issues related to the religious practice of reception sub utraque specie in the 15th and 16th centuries. The first of the problems hitherto little reflected on is related to the practice of serving a large number of believers, the second to innovating the shape of the chalice and using special large goblets with a tube/pipe, which facilitated pouring the transformed wine into smaller goblets and serving the believers. The third area of the authors’ interest is the question of the use of private chalices for reception by more affluent social strata, which would show the limits of the original radical inclusiveness of reception sub utraque specie. The analysis of church accounts recording the consumption of wine in the Utraquist liturgy supports a thesis about a significant decline in enthusiasm associated with the early reform period and frequent reception by the laity, which was significantly influenced by Lutheranism. Furthermore, the authors provide and discuss evidence of the practice of donating and using private chalices by laity.

Hand defenses from the early 1420s consisted of plate gauntlets whose elements were riveted to the leather base. First mentions about gauntlets created from small metal plates appeared in the last decade of the 13th c. One of gives a description about gauntlets made by the armourers in Paris in 1296, which were made in the same manner as coat-of-plates. Metal plates were riveted to the textile or leather base or between layers of material. In form they were familiar to the pieces which can often be seen on illuminations or tombstones from first quarter of the 14th c. in Western Europe. They remained in common use until the third quarter of this century. Around the year 1350 demi-gauntlets similar in shape to hourglass appeared. They were usually created from one piece of metal. They protected the wrist and had usually anatomically formed metacarpus. Fingers were protected by small overlapping metal scales riveted to the leather stripes which were attached to the gauntlet’s metacarpus. After the year 1370, demi-gauntlets became the dominant form of hand protection.
