Issued without a dust jacket. -- The shifting balance between monarch and estates in late medieval Bohemia - this study reveals how aristocratic control of patronage and calculated political maneuvers shaped both the rise and the outcomes of the Hussite Revolution. -- Opening with the social and economic structures of pre‑Hussite Bohemia, the text examines the nobility's dominance through lay control of parish appointments and their feud with King Wenceslas IV during the 1390s. It follows noble politics through 1415, with Cenek of Vartemberk serving as a case study in shifting loyalties and pragmatic compromise. The narrative then explores how both Catholic and Hussite nobles exercised patronage rights, supported early reform, but ultimately cooperated to restrain radical groups such as the Taborites and Orebites. By tracing cycles of conflict, patronage, and landholding, the book demonstrates how political gains - expanded estate authority, new land, increased administrative control, and reduced peasant liberties - fell to the nobility not by ideological design but by default. Appendices support the analysis with data on commodity prices, office‑holding families, noble party alignments, and the 1417 Utraquist Compact. -- This study uses ecclesiastical confirmation records to map noble allegiances, linking parish patronage decisions with confessional and political choices. By documenting how nobles across religious divides defended their class interests and redirected revolutionary momentum into estate dominance, it provides a durable interpretive framework relevant in discussions of elite co‑option, state formation, and the social roots of the European Reformation. For historians of medieval Central Europe, church‑state relations, and revolution as a process captured by elites, it remains a reference of lasting importance. -- Contents: Introduction; 1.
