The aim of this required elective course is to familiarize students with the everyday life of a nobleman in the 17 century. Attention will be paid especially to the situation in the Czech lands. The aim is to show the transformation of the aristocracy and its customs and to present the widest possible spectrum of manifestations of the lifestyle of the nobility in the early modern period. The course also includes the presentation of selected sources related to the history of everyday life and their subsequent analysis.
Completion of the course will broaden students' knowledge of the nobility in the Czech lands in the 17th century. The student will be able to describe the everyday life of a nobleman and will be able to interpret to a lesser extent the transformation of the nobility and its life in the 17th century.
