Instrukce pro hornolužické zeměpanské úředníky v 16. století | Instructions for Upper Lusatian officials in the 16th century

Abstract

The author focuses on the creation of the monarchical administration in Upper Lusatia as one of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown, after the mid-16th century, when significant changes in this area were made. The supreme powers were essentially divided between two officials who were also the sovereign’s representatives in the land: the traditional reeve and the newly established governor.
