The Mokošínský owned the rule until 1213, after which it fell to Zawisch von Falkenstein , to whom it struck Svojanov .

After his execution, Bystré became a Bohemian crown possession and the first documentary mention was made in 1349 by Ernst von Pardubitz , who was with Pope Clement VI. asked to transfer the parish to the diocese of Leitomischl .
