The contemporary narrative emphasizes the importance of violence, where the Přemyslid princes and their powerful retinues imposed princely will on elites and freemen in Bohemia and Moravia. However, our attention also turns to the problematic evidence of assumed powerful cavalry armies and the importance of communication between prince, elites and church, somewhat problematizing the role of violence as the primary tool of governance. Furthermore, an analysis of “otherness” in Saxon chronicles and a comparison of different traditions of St. Wenceslas and Great Moravia confirm the importance of the “Identitätsbildung”-process and “ideology” as stabilising factors in the new Přemyslid regnum.East Central and Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages, 450-1450 ;19.ViolencePolitical aspectsCzech RepublicBohemiaHistoryTo 1500Religion and politicsCzech RepublicBohemiaHistoryTo 1500Social structureCzech RepublicBohemiaHistoryTo 1500Group identityCzech RepublicBohemiaHistoryTo 1500IdeologyCzech RepublicBohemiaHistoryTo 1500Bohemia (Czech Republic)HistoryTo 1526Bohemia (Czech Republic)Politics and governmentBohemia (Czech Republic)Church historyBohemia (Czech Republic)Social conditionsViolencePolitical aspectsHistoryReligion and politicsHistorySocial structureHistoryGroup identityHistoryIdeologyHistory943.71/0223Kalhous David1470116MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779392803321Anatomy of a duchy3681790UNINA
