Reformation, Counterreformation and Development of After the Reformation Catholicism in Uherský Brod - the Christian Faith in Changing Times

The study presents an attempt to depict the character of changes in life, thought and feelings of inhabitants of the town of Uherský Brod as Christians throughout 16th - 17th centuries. Its aim is to deepen the understanding of the internal and external factors forming the specific local religiosity in the context of the enormous transformation of the Church at the end of the Middle-Ages and the Early Modern Period. Rather a small social segment has been selected in order to allow carrying out a study on individuals and their behaviour. In Uherský Brod, several substantial changes in confession conditions have taken place in the course of history. In terms of later development, the most important one was the restoration fo Catholicism after the Battle of White Mountain, which permanently affected the religious conditions of the town and the entire region. Based od the source material preserved, the author attempts to get an insight into the people who were actively or passively participating in these processes in order to contribute to a better understanding of the cultural development in the Early Modern Period, with special focus on this region.
