| Description | The autor reflects on the beginnings of Bohemian and Moravan nobility, and does not support the widespread opinion abot the duke's beneficiaries, absolutely dependent of the duke, who became holders of freeland through capturing it, and as a result of this process the free land ownership should have been established approximately between the mid of the 12th and the mid of the 13th centuries. On the examples he shows how the families of the powerfull noblemen completely faded away (Leo of Klobouky, Protiva of Doubravice) or how they stagned (Lord of Pernštejn dugong almost the whole 14th century) |
