| Description | The paper will cover the topic of beer and royalty in the Middle Ages. First, I'd like to focus on what role beer played in the nobility's diet. That is, what beers were drunk and what competition they had compared to other beverages such as wine and brandy. At the same time, beer was also important commodity Therefore, in the second part I will focus on how the nobility participated in business in the area of so-called. the overhead economy, when she started her own business on her estate. This also applied to brewing and serving, which didn't sit well with the towns that it violated the right to a beer brewing monopoly, and supplying taverns around the city itself. These disagreements ended up in court and resulted in conclusion of agreement Finally, I would like to mention the small interest associated with the Czech viceregent Ferdinand of Tyrol, son of King Ferdinand I. The one at his castle Ambras hosted for friends from of the nobility large parties associated with the disorderly consumption of alcoholic beverages. This included, for example, a giant beer to welcome or a "drunken" signature in a special book. Alongside this, similar drinking events works were also held at the south-bohemian Chateau Bechyně in the possession of the prominent house of Rožmberk. |
