Boresch IV of Riesenburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boresch IV. (Czech Boreš IV. Z Rýzmburka ) († before 1349 ) was a Bohemian nobleman from the Riesenburg family .

Boresch ensured that the sexes' financial resources were consolidated. After 1330 he sold more and more lands. He presumably needed cash to invest in the flourishing mining industry. In the 1940s he was even more economical with his finances. Riesenburgers, formerly great benefactors of the church, now draw up detailed contracts in such cases.

In 1341, the Bohemian King John of Luxembourg reminds that he received his lands as a royal fief. At the same time he moved the trade route to Meissen , which led past the Riesenburg Castle , via the village of Klostergrab , which belonged to the Osek Monastery . Boresch received the inheritable right to build a guard house (custodium seu wartam) and to collect customs duties for the maintenance work.

In 1344, at the behest of the Prague chamberlain, Rus von Litice, he also lost a tavern in Ploscha , which allegedly was frequented by robbers and dubious personalities. Boresch dies between 1344 and 1349.
