Abstract

The article describes the strategy of the Capuchin Order when establishing monastic houses in the Czech Lands in the Early Modern Age period. It also deals with circumstances related to the origins of individual Capuchin monasteries, particularly with persons and institutions involved in the process (Provincial Chapter and Superiors, founders, ruler, Ordinaries of the Diocese, diocesan clergymen or town councils).

It also points out to the most common reasons why a Capuchin foundation was not implemented.
