This publication, written by Czech professor of art history Jan Royt, renders a vivid image of the capital of the Bohemian Kingdom in the High Gothic period in the broader historical context of the circumstances that were particularly favourable for Prague during Charles IV's reign (1347-1378). For the first time in history, after Charles's coronation as the Holy Roman Emperor in 1355, the capital of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown was simultaneously the metropolis of the Holy Roman Empire. Thanks to the royal and imperial care, which in addition to Charles' monarchical post in Europe also reflected his Western-European education and cosmopolitan openness as well as his belief in and respect for the Premyslid tradition, Prague flourished, becoming a unique and beautiful city. The cathedral, the stone bridge, the university and construction of the New Town and its churches laid out in a magical cross pattern, remain today as the "stone seals" on the face of Prague's Gothic architecture, endorsed by the paintings, sculpture and the entire realm of spiritual culture. The book contains around 100 photographs of Prague monuments, sights and documentary images.

The Czech king and Roman Emperor Charles IV met with the French king Charles V in Paris in 1378. The author describes with intelectual brilliance and narrative talent the journey from Prague to Paris as a step by step journey reportage using contemporary French chronicles and vast medievistic literature as well as many beautiful illustrations. The result is an appealing account on medieval life, everyday and intelectual, mentality, grand European politics of the time or even medieval cuisine. The first part of the book presents the well-known facts of Charles IV life (brought up in Paris, his father’s John Luxemberg’s political and representational activities, his international goals, etc.). The middle part of the book brings a transcription of richly illustrated French chronicles. The third part analyses the importance of the meeting of the two most powerful European rulers of the time. Final and most original part consists of individual studies concerning practical organisation of medieval festivities, its logistic, transport, or culinary details, the court manners, relationships and symbolics. Šmahel draws from latest knowledge and methods from archeology and microhistory to cultural anthropology or iconography. This as a highly readable account of medieval time inspiring in its originality for expert historians as well as appealing to the general public.

On the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the death of Charles IV in 1978, Professor Emanuel Vlček, MD, DSc conducted research of the skeletal remains of the Pater patriae, which brought a number of surprising findings, important to a whole range of scientific disciplines at Charles University, and cast light on significant events in Charles’ life as well as on the cause of his death. The research has presented this prominent ruler as a human being, an ordinary mortal, suffering from many injuries and chronic diseases with which he was coping with indefatigable will, keeping in mind his commitments to God and Kingdom of Bohemia. It may be that all the pain and suffering also influenced his spirituality and his efforts to find salvation by attempting to realize his concept of the supreme being (Imitatio Christi). The results of the research by Professor Vlček have been repeatedly published, but until now we have had no representative publication in English. The forthcoming celebrations of the 700th anniversary of Charles’ birth offer an opportunity to fill this gap.

"The great accomplishment of this book is that it goes far beyond an investigation into the self-representation of a Bohemian king, or the growing naturalism in portraiture which occurs at this time: through its careful analysis of these extraordinary riches of documentary and visual material (and much recent scholarship in Czech and German), it defines the main ideological components of royal and imperial power as they were shaped by one of its greatest exponents in fourteenth-century Europe."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

A critical examination of the life and legacy of Charles IV. Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, has been called "one of the most learned and diplomatically skillful sovereigns" of the fourteenth century. Having moved the seat of the Holy Roman Empire to Prague and founding the first university in Central Europe, Charles IV is a towering figure in Czech history and a crucial character in the story of medieval Europe. Recent research, especially in art history, has tended to present Charles IV in a purely positive, unblemished light: viewing him and his imperial court as the engine behind a flourishing of culture in the region. This book views Charles IV through a more critical lens, examining the careful construction that went into the way he presented himself and the characteristic manifestations of Charles' execution of royal power. The first part of the book offers a chronological description of Charles' life within the broader context of the times and the House of Luxembourg. The second part provides a close look into Charles IV's style of rule while focusing on phenomena that reveal his personal conception of power and how it was wielded.
