from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Puta the Younger from Častolowitz (first name also: Puota, Puotha ; last name also: Czastolowitz ; Tschastolowitz ; Czech: Půta mladší z Častolovic ; † 1434 in Pressburg ) came from the noble family Častolowitz . He was first governor and later pledge lord of Glatz , Frankenstein and Münsterberg .

Origin and career

His parents were Puta d. Ä. von Častolowitz and Anna († 1440/54), a daughter of Duke Johann II of Teschen-Auschwitz . Like his father, he owned other estates in Eastern Bohemia in addition to Častolowitz .

Puta d. J. was initially a supporter of the Hussites , but soon became their avowed opponent. When fighting the Hussites, he was distinguished by particular zeal. That probably explains why the Czech king appointed him Sigismund in 1422 to the royal governor of Glatzer country and the Governor of the precincts Frankenstein. In 1424 Puta entered into an alliance with Duke Johann from Münsterberg against the Hussites, who presumably therefore undertook a first invasion of the Glatzer and Silesian area in December 1425 . In 1427 Puta d. J. in Eastern Bohemia with a Silesian army against the Hussites. In 1428 he took part in the battle of Altwilmsdorf , in which Johann von Münsterberg was killed. King Sigismund pledged its now orphaned principality on August 13, 1429 to his loyal follower Puta the Elder. In 1431 the right of lien followed for the Glatzer Land and Frankenstein, whose right to mint was held by Puta since 1426. Finally in 1434 Sigismund gave Puta the Elder J. the Duchy of Münsterberg. On behalf of the king, Puta d. J. carried out several diplomatic missions. Shortly before his death, he accompanied messengers from the Basel Council to the imperial court.

Puta's political intentions were aimed at establishing family rule on both sides of the border between the Kłodzko Land and Silesia and Eastern Bohemia. His marriage in 1396 to Anna von Kolditz († 1467), a daughter of the Schweidnitz Governor Albrecht von Kolditz , created favorable conditions for this.

Puta d. J. died in 1434 without a male heir. He left behind the underage daughters Anna, Katharina († before 1467) and Salome († 1489):

  • Anna married Ulrich ( Oldřich ) Zajíc von Hasenburg in 1446 .
  • Katharina married Heralt II from the line "von Lisnitz" ( Líšničtí ) of the lords of Kunstadt in 1441 or 1442 . After his death, she married Johann Zajíc von Hasenburg in 1447. After Katharina's death, he married Anna († 1478), a daughter of Duke Wenzel II of Troppau-Leobschütz († 1445/47).
  • Around 1442 Salome married Wilhelm von Troppau , a nephew of the fallen Duke of Münster, Johann.

Puta's widow Anna, who kept the Pfandbriefe for Glatz, Frankenstein and Münsterberg, initially administered the properties with the Glatz Governor Marquard von Mittelwalde . After negotiations with various interested parties, she sold her lands to the Bohemian aristocrat Hynek Kruschina von Lichtenburg , who pledged to take over the debts on the property and to look after Puta's underage daughters in a manner appropriate to their status. Three weeks later he married Anna von Kolditz.
