The Rhetoric of the Crusades and Anti-Paganism in the Political Propaganda of Ottokar II Premislas of Bohemia
Original language description
In the Middle Ages, monarchs were expected to act as defenders of the true Christian faith and to engage in an active struggle against non-believers; indeed, these activities were considered to be core aspects of the medieval monarchic ideal.1 This study attempts to answer an apparently simple question: did King Ottokar II Premislas of Bohemia genuinely fulfil these requirements in his actual political deeds, or was his image as a defender of the Christian faith merely created as part of a propaganda machine run by intellectuals who were active in the king’s service and at the royal court? In the first part of the study, I trace the development of Ottokar II’s literary-historical image over the course of many centuries (reaching up to the present day). In the second part I characterise the role played by the rhetoric of the crusades and anti-paganism in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown under Ottokar, situating his reign within the broader context of the Přemyslids’ involvement in the crusades.
