The medieval colonization of Trutnov by lords of Švábenic

My thesis deals with colonization of the Trutnov region by the
lords of Švábenic in the 13th century and with the origin of
feudal system in this territory the house of Švábenic.

After a brief introduction in contemporary literature it
introduces my sources of information. There are written
information sources  charters and references in chronicles.
Then there is a description of villages and the town of
Trutnov, which are mentioned in documents, and a description of
their medieval monuments. Finally I have described several
small castles, which are not mentioned in written documents,
but which according to archaeological evidences come from this
time. 

In the next part I have tried to describe the size of region of
Trutnov at those times. I conclude that the nearby towns Dvůr
(Králové) and Hostinné were established by the king and that
they  were not part of region of Trutnov, which was owned by
the lords of Švábenic.

The most important part depicts the history of the Švábenic
realm in the Trutnov region. The beginning of their ownership
of region date back to the last fifty years of 13th century.
The first written reference to it is from 1260. At the end of
this decade or in the beginning of the next one arouse todays
disposition of the Trutnov town and its castle.  

The chronicle of Neplach mentions that Přemysl Otakar II. the
king gave the region to the Germans in 1277. Contemporary
literature does not understands it as the beginning of German
colonization, which began earlier, but as an origin of the
establishment of the feudal system. I have come to the opinion
that the date is probable, but that the establishment was not
made possible by the king, because the region was in the
ownership of the lords of Švábenic. They could have done it, or
the king established a feudal system in territory of his town
Dvůr possibly Hostinné too. 

The last problem of history of the region is the end of the
ownership of the lords of Švábenic. It dates back to 1301. I
have come to the opinion that the lords lost the Trutnov town
between 1297-1300, but it is possible that they still owned
some property in the region in the first decade of 14th
century.
