| Description | The presented study is devoted to the phenomenon of the counterfeiting activity of Oldrich II of Rozmberk (Rosenberg, 1403–1462), particularly newly discovered forgeries and their inter- pretations. The motivation to create the forgeries was not only legitimation of the holding of unjustly seized royal properties, but also the creation of the “image” of a fearless warrior against the Hussite opposition. The author combines diplomatic and historical methods to understand the background of creation of the three groups of forgeries related to the royal castle Zvikov, the ecclesiastical goods of Sveraz and Zaton and the trial with the nobleman Jan Smil of Kremze. |
