Authoress analyzes the Chronicon Bohemiae by Benedict Johnsdorf (+ 1503), growing up from the context of monastic historiography of this period in Silesia. Johnsdorf's evaluations of individual Bohemian kings are interesting especially because the author partly in a creative way replenishes the older historical tradition, and gives his own evaluation of his contemporary.

Johnsdorf sees Silesia as a part of the Bohemian Crown and never questions its allegiance to it; for him, primarily the religious (i. e. the Roman Catholic) and patriotic (Silesian) context is substantial.
