Abstract
In this short historical-anthropological excursion, I focuse on the issue of the development of midwifery, which led to the one of the first women's professions in the cradle of modern obstetrics in Europe. We know about probably the first midwives for the Czech lands from reports from the fourth quarter of the 12th century.
Also King Wenceslas II - (he was the son of Přemysl Otakar II., the main character of my dissertation in preparation, named The power calculus as a constant and a variable of human story. The concept of royal power, the archetype and the fate of Přemysl Otakar II in the mirror of the school Annales) - rewarded his nanny in his will ("obstetrix").
