Troubled Chronicles in Time of Chronic Troubles : Narrative Sources and Political Use of Violence in Bohemia in Early Fourteenth Century
Le Temps des médias n° 32, Printemps 2019, p. 34-47.
A major political crisis erupted in Bohemia at the beginning of the 14th century when the last přemyslid king, Wenceslaus III, was murdered. Four kings died between 1305 and 1308 in suspicious circumstances, according to different contemporary chroniclers, two of them being brutally murdered. These events are differently interpreted depending on the allegiances of the chroniclers and on the rivalries of the most important local dynasties, revealing their ability to make a political use of violence.
