history

Monastery of St. Dobrotiva in Zaječov

The later gentlemen Zajíc von Hasenburg came from the Vladiken family Buzický von Buzice , which was named after the abbreviated first name Budislaw "Buz", inherited from the 10th century, and who sat at the Buzice Fortress . The von Hasenburgs are of the same origin as the Bohemian von Schellenberg ( Šelmberkové ), who named themselves after the Šelmberk castle near Jung Woschitz in the old Bohemian Tabor district . With Ulrich von Buzice, 1265 Oberstburggraf of Prague and cupbearer of the King of Bohemia, they named themselves in a document in 1262 as the founder of the monastery of St. Dobrotivá ( Klášter sv. Dobrotivá , also Klášter Zaječov ) at Zbiroh "Zageczecz" (German the hare ), after the hare in their coat of arms. From Ulrich's sons

  • Ulrich II. Hase ( Zagicz ), lord of the Žebrák castle near Horzowitz in western Bohemia; † 1281, and
  • Zbislaw, the Royal Bohemian Chamberlain, who was murdered in Prague in 1292, are the descendants of the later Hase or Zajícové , who settled on the Hazmburk near Raudnitz , which is named after them .

They took fourth place in the oldest Bohemian lordship order from 1501. From 1350 to 1663 they were Oberst-Erbland- Truchsesse in the Kingdom of Bohemia . During the rule of the Luxembourgers they belonged to the most important noble families of the Bohemian gentry , but later lost their importance. With Jaroslaw von Hasenburg auf Radoschin ( Jaroslav Zajíc z Hazmburka na Radošině ) they went out in 1663 in the male line.
