abstract

The article presented characterises the so-called final phase of medieval colonisation in Bohemia in the 14th century, namely both based on the written sources and specific archaeologically documented examples. A large part of the new village foundations from this period are connected with the transformations of the manorial lords’ management and are related to the previous systematic colonisation only by the method of implementation, not the social-economic context, because the cultivated land of villages founded in the 14th century often emerged on divided areas which had formerly belonged to the manorial lord’s economic courtyards. We can then find the continuation and analogy of such foundations in later Modern periods.
