Benedictine Life and Care for the Environment
In this presentation I want to show in simple terms how monastic life provides spiritual practices for our community to live the Gospel in a way that is responsive and respectful to the environment. Consequently, I organize my presentation around four words or phrases from the Rule of Benedict (RB). The first one is the community of goods. The second is stability. Thethird is frugality, and the fourth is a contemplative stance. These four words o…
The Rhetoric of Domestic Morality in Last Wills and Testaments in Sixteenth-Century Prague
About a third of the last testaments of Prague citizens from 1517 to 1544 referred to testators' ethical beliefs. As their European neighbors, Praguers valued a pragmatic, life-sustaining, household oriented system of ethics consisting of orderliness, diligence, cooperation and domestic solidarity. They made no claim to rest their ethics on transcendental or universal values. The citizens' notions of good and evil sprang from their wishes and des…

Household composition in medieval Bohemia
The typical late medieval household in Bohemia was simple in structure and small in size. Most wives and husbands established their households apart from siblings, parents and kin. Only between one to three of their children survived into adolescence and adulthood. Only rarely did siblings or other kin try to restrict their relatives' freedom to dispose of property. These conclusions arise from a numerical analysis of dowry contracts, last wills …
The Disadvantaged and the Hussite Revolution
The following survey regards the upper nobility, urban patricians and the clergy of medieval Bohemia as the more privileged, and groups such as the gentry, peasants and urban poor and women as the disadvantaged. There were exceptions within each group. The ethical and moral ideals of Hussite leaders addressed social and economic inequalities and gave hope that a society with greater benefits for the disadvantaged was possible. People from all gro…

The development of the conjugal bond in late medieval Bohemia
In late medieval Bohemia the focus of the family became more and more the relationship between husband and wife at the expense of the husband's male kin group. Where the tie of loyalty to one's male lineage and its future welfare prevailed, disposals of property after death restricted a widow's rights only to her dowry. The law of the land and custom generally supported this practice. However, more and more from the fourteenth to the early sixtee…
The Nobility and the Making of the Hussite Revolution
The Czech Nobility's Use of the Right of Patronage on Behalf of the Hussite Reform Movement
Throughout European history the aristocracy has been involved in reform movements which undermined either ecclesiastical or monarchical power structures. Thus the nobles of southern France in the twelfth century granted protection to the Cathars, and in fourteenth-century England lords and knights offered aid to the Lollards. The support of German princes and knights for Lutheranism is well known, as is the instrumental role played by the French …
