In 1775 Vlčice was one of the centers of the peasant uprising in the Giant Mountains. After the suppression of the uprising on March 26th at the Humlově Kopci, ten of the ringleaders were executed. In 1789, Prince Johann von Schwarzenberg exchanged the rule of 13 subservient places under Emperor Joseph II for Borovany .
