Abstract

The book concerns the problem related to the circumstances of the receipt of the royal crown by the Přemyslid dynasty rulers and rooting a hereditary monarchy in the Czech State. Referring to the concept of Kantorowicz, the author puts the question about the nature of the first Czech kingdom. Whether it was a pragmatic or self-consciously-charismatic product and how the idea of the kingdom was perceived by the Czech elite. M. Wihoda tried to present the circumstances in which the idea of the kingdom emerged in the Czech State, the kingdom which is a value in itself and did not depend on the uniqueness of the person who currently served on the throne. The author also pointed out howthese new ideas about the State and power are viewed by the Czech political elite.
