Panowanie króla Jerzego ze śląskiej perspektywy (w 550. rocznicę śmierci monarchy)

Abstrakt

This review article presents the reign of George of Poděbrady, King of Bohemia, from a Silesian perspective, therefore contrary to dominant Bohemocentric option. The author also opposes the historiographic myths created by the Czech researchers, in which George of Poděbrady is nearly adored, without any deeper attempts of critical assessment of his reign. After all, its outcome was tragic and the blame must be put not only on Wrocław, which was the core of the opposition to his rule. The king himself failed to avoid several mistakes – he probably lacked the political horizons of his predecessors from the Luxembourg dynasty of the Bohemian throne.
