Abstract

In 1458 the Czech nobleman George of Poděbrady was elected to be king of Bohemia. But emperor Frederick III, the Polish king Kasimir IV and many German princes refused to recognize his royal legality. Until 1462, with a number of personal meetings, George of Poděbrady succeeded in obtaining recognition from his opponents. Th is paper asks for the infl uence of symbolic communication by rituals and public stages, as they were usual in medieval policy, on these meetings.
