Learning outcomes
In this course destined for the Erasmus students (not for the Czech students), we will make a brief introduction and survey of older history of the Czech lands in the medieval and early modern times when the Czech lands were ruled by the dukes and kings from the Przemyslid, Luxembourg, Jagellonian and Habsburg dynasty. We will deal not only with the political history but also with art, confessional, social and cultural history of the Central European space.
