Slezský Sborník Acta Silesiaca SLEZSKÝ SBORNÍK ACTA SILESIACA ROČNÍK CVIII / 2010 ČÍSLO 1–2 STUDIE / ARTICLES Robert ANTONÍN: Jan Lucemburský a slezská knížata v letech 1327–1329 5–21 John the Blind and Princes of Silesia in the Years 1327–1329 The study based on the analysis of narrative sources and sources of diplomatic character shows that in Polish politics of John the Blind in the 1320s is discernible a long-term tendency to subdue the Silesian territories. Firstly, they formed a buffer zone between the traditional Bohemian crown lands and parts of Poland that were controlled by Władysław I the Elbow-high (Pol. Łokietek), secondly, they represented an important centre of Central-European economy. Key Words: Middle Ages; history of Silesia; John the Blind; John of Bohemia; John of Luxembourg; 14th century; Princes of Silesia Mario MÜLLER: Der Glogauer Erbfolgestreit (1476–1482) zwischen den 22–59 Markgrafen von Brandenburg, Herzog Johann II. von Sagan und Matthias Corvinus, König von Ungarn und Böhmen The Głogów war of succession (1476–1482) between the margrave of Brandenburg, Duke John (Johann) II of Żagań and King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary and Bohemia Válka o hlohovské dědictví (1476–1482) mezi braniborskými markrabaty, kníņetem Janem II. Zaháňským a uherským a českým králem Matyáńem Korvínem The Głogów (Germ. Glogau) war of succession describes the war between the margrave of Brandenburg and Duke John II of Żagań (Germ. Sagan) over the Duchy of Głogów. It broke out after the death of Duke Henry XI on February 22nd, 1476, and found its end in the Treaty of Kamenz in September 1482. This war of succession obtained nationwide significance because of the contemporary confu- sion over the Bohemian throne, fought between King Matthias and Vladislav II, son of the Polish King Casimir IV Jagiełło. Matthias, basically the feudal lord of Silesia and thus also of the Duchy of Głogów, not only supported Duke John in the fight against Brandenburg, but he also managed to include the dukes of Pom- erania. In 1479 he made lasting peace with Vladislav in Olomouc (Germ. Olmütz). Thereby the family of the Brandenburg margrave could not realize its aims, claim- ing the Duchy of Głogów through Barbara, the widow of the late Duke Henry XI and daughter of Prince Elector Albrecht Achilles. Barbara’s second and uncon- summated marriage with King Vladislav failed and the significant part of the in- herited duchy went to John of Żagań until he was overthrown in 1488. Barbara, or rather her brother John, Regent of the Brandenburg March, obtained the area around the towns of Krosno Odrzańskie (Germ. Crossen), Sulechów (Germ. Zül- lichau) and Lubsko (Germ. Sommerfeld). Both areas of rule of the thus perma- nently divided duchy remained as a fief under the influence of Matthias of Hun- gary and Bohemia. Vladislav, although being the spouse of Barbara by canon law, did not claim this duchy until 1490, the year the Hungarian king died. Key words: Bohemian King, Duchy of Głogów (Glogau), John II of Żagań (Sa- gan), Matthias Corvinus, Silesia, Vladislav, war of succession Mlada HOLÁ: Holdovací cesta krále Matyáše do Vratislavi v roce 1611 60–78 Oath-taking journey of king Matthias II to Wrocław from year 1611 The analytic study is dedicated to the oath-taking journey of Matthias to Wrocław (Germ. Breslau) in 1611. It depicts the preparations for the king’s arrival, particu- lar phases of the actual solemn entrance on 18th September (i.e. greeting by delegations, entering the city, welcoming by the bishop of Wrocław, solemn ser- vice in St. John Baptist’s Cathedral, accommodation of the king in patrician houses in the square), the oath of allegiance of Silesian estates, and further events which occurred during the sovereign’s long stay in the Silesian metropolis (until October 17, 1611). Preserved sources give us a thorough depiction of this period, especially of some aspects of the voyage. Particularly well covered are the exten- sive preparations in the city for the solemn entrance of the sovereign, whose aim was to impress him. Key words: Wrocław (Breslau), Matthias, Bohemian king, oath-taking journey, ceremonial (solemn) entry, tributes Jiří FRIEDL: Otázka zaměstnávání dělníků z Polska na Těšínsku v letech 79–91 1945–1947 The Question of Employment of Workers from Poland in the Těńín Region in the years 1945–1947 The essay is based on documents from Czech and Polish archives. It analyzes the question of employment of workers from Poland in the Czechoslovak part of the Těńín Region – mainly in mines and iron works. Czechoslovakia suffered from lack of labour power so these workers were welcomed. But on the other hand, mainly members of the Czechoslovak national-socialist party pointed out that these Poles could be dangerous elements and due to them the number of Poles in the Těńín Region could rise. Employment of workers from Poland in the Těńín Region became a problem which had to be solved but until the coup d’état in Feb- ruary 1948 the Czechoslovak authorities had not done that. As the communists seized the power in Czechoslovakia the situation became better because the com- munists were friendlier to the Polish minority. The question of employment of workers from Poland also reflects the internal political situation in Czechoslovakia before February 1948 (rivalry between communists and democratic parties). Key words: Czechoslovakia; Polish minority; Těńín Region, Twentieth Century Sandra KREISSLOVÁ: K problematice etnického a jazykového vědomí 92–110 německy hovořícího obyvatelstva v pohraničním okrese Chomutov To the Problems of Ethnic and Language Feeling of German-speaking Inhabitants in the Border District of Chomutov The article focuses on the problems of relation of ethnic identification and lan- guage. The question of the role of a language for the construction of ethnic identi- fication in biographical narratives of informants is particularly stressed. This topic has been pursued on the example of Germans that stayed in the country after the compulsory expatriation of German-speaking inhabitants from Czechoslovakia and through several generations, they have lived in an ethnically and linguistically heterogeneous environment. From the aspect of the territorial determination, the text is set in the border district of Chomutov, which has been formed by German- speaking inhabitants for centuries. The problems are reflected from the ethnic as- pect and a biographical method has been chosen as the crucial method for field- work. Collected biographical texts illustrate possible perceptions of ethnic identi- fication and the mother tongue, namely from the position of a particular partici- pant and from the generation aspect. The language situation in the Chomutov re- gion has also been dealt. Key Words: ethnic identification, language, German minority in the region of Chomutov, memory, biogra-phical method, language situation. MATERIÁLY / MATERIALS Marek SKUPIEN: Katalog listin uložených na faře v Hlučíně 111–116 The Catalogue of Documents Deposited in the Presbytery in Hlučín The contribution in the form of a catalogue makes accessible a collection of 23 documents from 1450–1742 deposited in the presbytery of the Roman-catholic parish office in the town of Hlučín. The documents have been scarcely used in professional literature so far. They are mainly documents of foundation character that have a connection to the Hlučín parish church of St John the Baptist. The text of some documents forms a part of copies in the so-called “Liber fundationum” of the Hlučín parish church. This book is also deposi-ted in the State District Ar- chives Opava.

  • John of Moravia and John Sobieslaw
    Excursus 1 John of Moravia and John Sobieslaw This excursus will focus on the complicated issue of identifying Margrave John Henry’s two frequently confused sons: John of Moravia and John Sobieslaw.1 As mentioned in the overview of the literature presented in the opening chapter (“From John Sobieslaw to John of Moravia”), the research to date has concluded that John Sobieslaw became bishop of Litomyšl (1380–1387) and later patriarch of Aquileia (1387–1394). By contrast, I shall attempt to demonstrate that it was actually his illegitimate half-brother John who made a successful ecclesiastical career for himself. Naturally, we are left with no choice but to seek an answer directly in the sources. However, these generally do not provide us with an un- ambiguous answer. The situation is particularly complicated because of the identical names: whenever John is spoken of as bishop of Litomyšl, or as patri- arch of Aquileia, the sources always describe him—if at all—only as Johannes, or as the son of John Henry, or as brother to Jobst and Prokop, but this can apply to both Johns. A large degree of circumspection is therefore required. First, let us briefly outline what we actually know about John Sobieslaw,2 focusing in detail only on the period which is important for us (the second half of the 1370s) and on sources which can potentially shed light on his conduct during this period. John Sobieslaw was born as the second son3 of Margrave John Henry, probably between 1355 and 1357,4 with 1357 appearing to be the most likely possibility.5 The second name “Sobieslaw,” which was quite unusual at the time, might have been a nickname designed to distinguish him from his older illegitimate half-brother John.

  • Vernacular Historiography in Medieval Czech Lands
    VERNACULAR HISTORIOGRAPHY IN MEDIEVAL CZECH LANDS Marie Bláhová Univerzita Karlova z Praze Marie.Blahova@ff.cuni.cz Abstract In this work, it is offered an overview of medieval historiography in the Czech lands from origins to the fifteenth century, both in Latin and in the vernacular languages, as well as the factors that contributed to their development and dissemination. Keywords Vernacular Historiography, Czech Chronicles, Medieval Czech Literature. Resumen En este trabajo, se ofrece una visión de conjunto de la historiografía medieval en los terrorios checos desde orígenes hasta el siglo XV, tanto en latín como en las lenguas vernáculas, así como de los factores que contribuyeron a su elaboración y difusión. Palabras clave Historiografía vernácula, Crónicas checas, Literatura checa medieval. Te territory that would become the Czech Lands did not have a tradition of Classical culture. Bohemia and Moravia became acquainted with written culture, one of its integral parts, only after Christianity started to spread to this area in the 9th century. After a brief period in the 9th century when liturgy and culture in Moravia were mainly Slavic, the Czech Lands, much like the rest of Central Eu- rope, came to be dominated by the Latin culture and for several centuries Latin remained the only language of written records. Alongside the lives of saints and hagiographic legends which helped promote Christianity,1 historical records and later also larger, coherent historical narra- 1 Cf. Kubín (2011).

  • The Empire of Austria Its Rise and Present Power
    The Empire of Austria Its Rise and Present Power By John S. C. Abbott The Empire of Austria Its Rise and Present Power CHAPTER I RHODOLPH OF HAPSBURG In the small canton of Aargau, in Switzerland, on a rocky bluff of the Wulpelsberg, there still remains an old baronial castle, called Hapsburg, or Hawk's Castle. It was reared in the eleventh century, and was occupied by a succession of warlike barons, who have left nothing to distinguish themselves from the feudal lords whose castles, at that period, frowned upon almost every eminence of Europe. In the year this castle was occupied by Albert, fourth Count of Hapsburg. He had acquired some little reputation for military prowess, the only reputation any one could acquire in that dark age, and became ambitious of winning new laurels in the war with the infidels in the holy land. Religious fanaticism and military ambition were then the two great powers which ruled the human soul. With the usual display of semi-barbaric pomp, Albert made arrangements to leave his castle to engage in the perilous holy war against the Saracens, from which few ever returned. A few years were employed in the necessary preparations. At the sound of the bugle the portcullis was raised, the drawbridge spanned the moat, and Albert, at the head of thirty steel-clad warriors, with nodding plumes, and banners unfurled, emerged from the castle, and proceeded to the neighboring convent of Mari. His wife, Hedwig, and their three sons, Rhodolph, Albert and Hartman, accompanied him to the chapel where the ecclesiastics awaited his arrival.

E. Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem and Institute of History and Archival Studies of Pedagogical University of Cracow 6–7 October 2020, Prague The four-hundredth anniversary of the plundering of Prague by the Catholic army, which, following the Battle of White Mountain, entered the city without a fight, despite Prague’s clear ability to defend itself, raises a more general ques- tion about the contexts and consequences of the unsuccessful defence of cities from the period between the Middle Ages up to the 20th century. There were a great number of towns that were conquered and subsequently destroyed to their foundations or at least thoroughly plundered. We can start with Troy, plundered by Agamemnon’s army, and continue through Carthage, levelled to the ground, all the way to Rome, conquered in 476 by Flavius Odoacer of the Ostrogoths and, more than a millennium later (1527), looted by mercena- ries of Emperor Charles V. The conquest of Constantinople by Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II in 1453 achieved European-wide popularity. An exemplary conquest and slaughter in central Europe was Imperial General Tilly’s Sack of Magdeburg in 1631, while in eastern Europe there was the Polish control of Moscow in 1610 or Napoleon’s occupation of the same city – this time scorched – in 1812.

  • Silver Pfennigs and Small Silver Coins of Europe in the Middle Ages
    Silver Pfennigs and Small Silver Coins of Europe in the Middle Ages David P. Ruckser and Lincon Rodrigues AUSTRIA *In the section entitled “AUSTRIA” are included coins from Vienna, Vienna Neustadt , Krems, some non-ecclesiatic Friesach and Enns mints.... Especially the “Wiener Pfennigs”. Other issues are listed under the various cities , bishoprics or provinces. The March of Austria was first formed in 976 out of the lands that had once been the March of Pannonia in Carolingian times. In 1156, the Privilegium Minus elevated the march to a Duchy independent of the Duchy of Bavaria. LEOPOLD I - 976-994 Leopold I, also Luitpold or Liutpold (died 994) was the first Margrave of Austria from the Babenberg dynasty. Leopold was a count in the Bavarian Danube district and first appears in documents from the 960s as a faithful follower of Emperor Otto I the Great. After the insurgence by Henry II the Wrangler of Bavaria in 976 against Emperor Otto II, he was appointed as "margrave in the East", the core territory of modern Austria, instead of a Burkhard. His residence was proba- bly at Pöchlarn, but maybe already Melk, where his successors resided. The territory, which originally had only coincided with the modern Wachau, was enlarged in the east at least as far as the Wienerwald. He died at Würzburg. The millennial anniversary of his appointment as margrave was celebrated as Thousand years of Austria in 1976. Celebrations under the same title were held twenty years later at the anniversary of the famous Ostarrîchi document first mentioning the Old German name of Austria.
