Moravian and Silesian strongholds of the tenth and eleventh centuries in the context of Central Europe

Original language description

The monograph includes the most important results of the not only covers the development in Moravia and Silesia in the tenth and the first half of the eleventh centuries within the scope of the topic, but also compares the results with the contemporary situation in the neighbouring countries (comprehensive or case studies), mainly Bohemia, Slovakia, Greater Poland and Silesia. This wider scope is amended with perspectives from more remote areas (east Germany, England). The surprising results of the research into the Opava-Kylešovice stronghold turned up interesting finds of material culture, including coins, that provided evidence of northern and eastern contacts (Varangian environment) and a high-quality sequence of dendrochronological data that allowed the dating of the construction of the castle – whose fortification shows Greater Polish influence – into the early phase of Piast expansion around 960. The monograph shows the difference between Moravia and neighbouring countries, relying their early state formations on the network of strongholds. In Moravia we find only single strongpoints of the home, Bohemian and Polish power, the real system of administrative strongholds was built up by the Přemyslids only after the conquest of Moravia in the second thirth of the 11th century.
