The king as part of the network. The ruling-praxis of Wenceslaus IV (1361-1419) in Bohemia and in the Empire.

拟议的项目旨在研究文塞斯劳斯四世(1361-1419)国王时期的统治是如何运作的。他的同代人和现代研究对这位统治者的评价几乎完全是负面的，这为他赢得了“懒惰”的绰号。尽管如此，他统治了德意志-罗马王国22年(1378-1400)，统治了波希米亚王国40多年(1378-1419)。这些长期的统治意味着，他一定已经找到了推动其统治并长期坚持的手段和方法。对这些手段和方法的理解是拟议项目的主要主题，我打算主要通过对现有宪章材料的分析来实现这一主题。问题：申请人打算根据非史学资料重新评估文塞斯劳斯四世的裁决实践。时间框架将在1392-1401十年前提供。统治实践的问题包括这样的问题：文斯劳斯是如何(即通过什么方式和通过什么人)实现他的统治的？谁对此持反对意见？他的统治实际上是在他的两个王国的哪些地区被要求的(谁要求特权)？在他的统治期间，这一规则的空间范围是否发生了变化？资料来源：文斯劳斯四世的宪章既没有以全文(MGH)发表，也没有以Regesta(RI)的形式发表。然而，向申请人提供了威廉·哈尼施和伊万·赫拉瓦切克收藏的两份私人特许收藏品。理论和方法：作为对中世纪晚期统治性质的探讨的基础，其理想和形式是必要的。穆勒-默滕斯为中世纪早期和晚期发展的统治实践的概念必须在概念上适应中世纪晚期，考虑到统治权的开始制度化及其普遍较低的流动性(早期住宅)。最后，将网络分析的理论和方法应用于包机材料的审查。阶段1：使用语义图数据库(软件：Segrada)从来源提取、收集和连接相关数据。阶段2：使用网络分析算法(软件：Gephi)对数据库查询进行分析和图形显示。这一分析的结果将由若干按时间顺序排列的网络图表示，这将是调查期间政治制度的重建。第三阶段：通过来源重新确定网络分析结果的背景，并利用政治学文化史的方法在进一步的社会因素的背景下讨论这些结果。

The proposed project intends to examine how ruling during the time of King Wenceslaus IV (1361-1419) worked. The almost totally negative evaluation of this ruler as well by his contemporaries as by modern research earned him the epithet "the Lazy". Regardless of this, he ruled for 22 years (1378-1400) over the German-Roman kingdom and for more than 40 years (1378-1419) over the kingdom of Bohemia. These long reigns implicate that he must have found means and ways to push through his rulership and to uphold it over a long period of time. The comprehension of these means and ways is the main subject of the proposed project which I intend to realize primarily by the analysis of the extant charter material. Question: The applicant intends to re-evaluate the ruling-praxis of Wenceslaus IV on the basis of the non-historiographic sources. The chronological frame will be provided by the decade 1392-1401. The problem of the ruling-praxis includes questions like: How (i.e. through which ways and by what people) did Wenceslaus implement his rulership? Who went in opposition to this? In which regions of his two kingdoms was his rule actually requested (who asked for privileges)? Did the spacial extend of this rule vary during his reign?Sources: The charters of Wenceslaus IV are neither published as full text (MGH) nor as regesta (RI). However, the applicant has been provided with two private collections of charters, which have been collected by Wilhelm Hanisch and Ivan Hlavácek. These two collections will form the core of the source-basis of the project.Theories and methods: As a basis of the inquiry considerations of the nature of late medieval rulership its ideals and form are necessary. The concept of ruling praxis developed by Müller-Mertens for the Early and High Middle Ages has to be conceptual adapted to the Late Middle Ages taking into consideration the starting institutionalisation of rulership and its generally lower mobility (early residences). Finally, Theories and methods of network analysis will be applied in the examination of the charter material.Phase 1: Extraction, collection, and connection of the relevant data from the sources using a semantic graph-database (software: Segrada).Phase 2: Analysis and graphic display of Database queries using algorithms of network analysis (software: Gephi). The results of this analysis will be represented by a number of chronologically scaled network graphs which will be a reconstruction of the political system during the time of inquiry.Phase 3: Re-contextualisation of the results of the network analysis through the sources and discussion of those results in the context of further societal factors using the approach of the cultural history of politics (Kulturgeschichte des Politischen).Phase 4: Writing of a monograph.
