Moravia in 1411-1550

Original language description

The Hussite movement errupted after the dead of Johann Hus in 1415 and enthronement of the last king of the Luxembourg dynasty, Sigismund. Unlike the situation in Bohemia, the Hussite party in Moravia was leaning on the nobility and the most significant royal towns including Brnoo remained loyal to the king Sigismund. The war ended with a kompromise in 1434, the extended conflict undermined the economic life of the land. The war was renewed in recent years of the reign of the „Hussite king“ Georg of Poděbrady, when the leadership of the Catholic party was taken over by a very competent Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus. He gained Moravia, but after his premature death in 1490, countries of the Bohemian crown as well as Hungary were united under the rule of Vladislav Jagiellon. The long-term stabilization of political situaton was brought only by the government of Ferdinand I. of Habsburg and his successors. Brno, Olomouc, Jihlava and Znojmo remained leading cities in Morava all the time. The population of Brno an Znojmo stagnated, Olomouc was better off because it was the seat of the bishop and Jihlava grew due to the export of cloth. As to the development of culture, the 2nd half of the 15th century brouhght the heyday of the Late Gothic style in architecture as well as in fine arts. In Brno, two main churches, St. Peter and Paul and St. James were rebuilt, lively construction activity took place also in the Minorite monastery. Bricks were often used in the construction of town houses. In Brno in the 15th century, were two prominent figures of spiritual life, lawyers John Thabrarr and Václav of Jihlava, the significant sculptor Anthony Pilgram worked here for some time. Brno with most of the Moravian royal towns did not join the uprising against the king Ferdinand I in 1547. Brno, with most of the Moravian royal towns, did not join the uprising against the king, and therefore its position was not as curtailed as in the case of Bohemian towns.
