Anne and Margaret, daughters of Charles IV and Elizabeth of Pomerania.

Thesis deals with daughters of Charles IV. and Elizabeth of Pomerania, Anne and Margaret. It focuses on marriage arrangements, which concern these women. Whereas the elder Anne married king of England Richard II., Margaret became a wife of less noble John III. of Zolllern, son of burgrave of Nuremberg. Distinction between these marriages may demonstrate that political interests often exceeded requirements for husband's prestigious origin and that women of the same origin could marry men of entirely different political- social status. Thesis researches circumstances under which were marriages arranged, aims, with which particular dynasties approach them, process of negotiations and realizations of weddings. From the aspect of different statuses of selected husbands, it also deals with benefits of the solemnized marriages for concerned sides. It also tries to indicate princess's life and their role in marriage policy, marriage and relationships between their husbands and original family.
