- Abstract
The article deals with the Decree of Kutná Hora of January 18, 1409, by King Venceslas IV, as one of the most famous if not most controversial events in Bohemian history that has played a great role in Bohemian Czech and German historiography. The change of power relations between professors in Bohemian Czech favor had wide-ranging and long-lasting consequences not only for Charles University in Prague and other universities in Central Europe but also in religious, legal, philosophical, and most of all political, matters. While the historiography dealing with the topic generally oscillates between stressing the Reformation issues and national interpretations focusing on Jan Hus, King Venceslas IV and the expellees (foreign professors and students), more recent scholarship, notably since František Šmahel, has become multi-layered. The Prague conflict was part of a wider medieval restructuring of university education, church politics, and the political power struggle in the empire, with the rise of regional rulers and decentralization, and Prague University was a historical model for the later development in the Middle Ages: from trans-regional, universities were becoming regional educational institutions leading to the victory of the German Reformation and the signing of the Peace of Augsburg which addressed the Catholic and Protestant faiths.
