Description
The book Nobility in the Czech Lands includes only a limited number of personalities or only mentions part of their lives. Thus, this second volume was created, in which other aristocrats also have their space. It features nobles who significantly impacted the country's history or those with interesting fates. The book also contains many intriguing and lesser-known, even scandalous stories from Czech history. For example, the tale of the sad fate of Kateřina of Šelmberk, who was walled up by her husband for infidelity, the plan of fishpond owners to kill Petr Vok, the life of Žofie Chotková before her marriage to the heir to the Austrian throne, Franz Ferdinand d'Este, the eccentricities of Prince Auersperg, and many other pieces of information about the life of Czech aristocracy from cradle to grave.
