Míšeňský markrabě Vilém I. s Lucemburky i proti nim. / William I, Margrave of Meissen, with Luxembourgs or against them.

This thesis deals with the politics of the Margrave of Meissen, William I the one-eyed (1343-1407), towards the Kingdom of Bohemia and his relationship to the ruling dynasty of the House of Luxemburg. Particular attention is paid to his marriage to Elizabeth of Luxembourg (Elizabeth of Moravia), his stays at the imperial court of Charles IV and subsequently his own expansive politics towards Wenceslaus IV. Emphasis is also given to his relationships to the other members of the House of Luxembourg, especially Margrave Jobst of Moravia. It also reflects upon the personality of Margravine Elizabeth (1355-1400), who has so far been rather overlooked in historiography. The thesis is based primarily on sources of a diplomatic nature and of Czech and Meissen provenance, but also draws upon records from chronicles and monastic annals. This thesis is also a contribution to the assessment of the politics of Wenceslaus IV and the nature of relationships between members of the House of Luxembourg. Keywords: William I of Meissen, Elizabeth of Luxembourg (Elizabeth of Moravia), House of Luxembourg, House of Wettin, Margravate of Meissen, Brandenburg, marriage contract
