Abstract

The interregnum following the death of Louis the Hungarian (1382–1384) saw an unprecedented rise in political life, which was also manifested in forms of parliamentary activity. The author compiles the proto-parliamentary activity of the time, mainly congresses and meetings of various kinds. Based on the sources, it is possible to identify more than twenty such episodes over a period of two years, which creates an extremely dynamic picture of this type of activity during the interregnum. The author analyses the typical features of the assemblies at that time, focusing, among others, on their grass-roots character, as well as the initiators of parliamentary life, its social aspect, as well as the place where the gatherings were held, the problems of representation and possible changes in the political system.
