Abstract

[The Gypsies entered the Czech lands of Bohemia and Moravia and the Slovak portion of the Arpad Hungarian kingdom during the late Middle Ages. The independent Bohemian or Czech state consisted of Bohemia, Moravia, and later Silesia and Lusatia. It came close to extinction as a result of the socioreligious Hussite Wars of 1420–1436 but was revitalized by the election of Wladyslaw II (r. 1471–1516), eldest son of Polish king Kazimierz Jagiellonczyk, to the Bohemian throne in 1471. Nineteen years later, Wladyslaw became king of Hungary. The Bohemian state also had ties to the Holy Roman Empire, and since the early thirteenth century the “Bohemian king exercised the role of the first elector” in the Empire.1]
