Abstract

This study is focused on the issue of relations between the Czech nobility and the town of Cheb - a hereditary imperial pledge attached to the Kingdom of Bohemia. It examines both the issues of conflicts (so-called feuds - private wars) and non-conflict relations.

In addition to confrontation and cooperation between the examined subjects, the study also raises the question of what form communication between the Czech nobility and Cheb took.
