Marquesse of Morauia Duke of Lucemburg and of Silesia Marquesse of Lusatia c. Be it knowne to all men by these presents since that God by his diuine grace hath giuen vs heires both sonnes and daughters and that by his diuine prouidence as also by the aduise and counsell of our Subicots Prelates Princes Lords and all the estates of our Realmes wee haue first caused the most excellent Prince King Lewes our most beloued sonne to be crowned King of Hungary who afterward by the free will of the Barrons Nobles and Townes of the Kingdome of Boheme hath beene crowned and receiued in the same Realme But if it shall happen that the said King Lewes dye without heires which God forbid then the Dutchesse Anne our daughter shall remaine and be true heire of the Realme of Boheme land by power and vertue of the rights constitutions and priuiledges of the Realme of Boheme And we hauing had regard vnto that and considering the singular affection deuotion and promptitude that our Subiects of both our Realmes shew vnto vs we thinke and iudge it to be right and equitable to prouide for them in such sort that for the necessities of the affaires of these two Crownes and Realmes they may treate and negotiate in their owne mother tongues with our heires and their future Lords And for that cause we haue ordained and doe ordaine that our heires haue to make their abode in a place fit and conuenable to the end that the subiects of the Crowne of Hungarie as well as they of the Crowne of Bohemia and those of the Crowne of Bohemia as well as they of the Crowne of Hungarie may enioy and haue their presence and may haue accesse vnto them They shall be also bound and obliged to entertaine neere vnto them an equall number of men and women Natiues of the Kingdome of Bohemia and Hungarie to the purpose that they may learne the Languages of Hungarie and of Bohemia freely and without impeachment And that the Estates of euerie one of the same Crownes may sufficiently and at large conferre with them in their owne Languages touching their necessities Moreouer wee promise vnto them of the Realme of Bohemia not to marry nor to promise in marriage the Duchesse Anne our daughter without their counsaile And wee promise all this which is contained in these presents in the word of a King and doe also promise vnto the Barons Nobles and all the Estates of the Realme of Bohemia to obserue it fully and inuiolably without any cōtrauention in any fashion whatsoeuer In witnesse whereof wee haue caused our Royall Scale to be set vnto these presents abouesaid Yeuen in our Castle of Prage on the Friday after the Feast of the 3. Kings in the yere of our Lord 1510. and of our raigns to wit of Hungarie the 20. and of Bohemia the 39. This disposition of the King Vladeslaus is set downe by the Emperour Ferdinand at this time for the strongest Bese and foundation for the hereditarie right that he claymeth vnto the Crowne of Bohemia forasmuch as the Duchesse Anne his grandmother is called heire of the Realme of Bohemia and that as hee sayth by vertue of other precedent agreements Now I will not enlarge my selfe heere to dispute vpon this Foundation for that the Estates of Bohemia haue alreadie refuted it very amply and solidely by their Writings and especially by their Booke called the Deduction which they published in the yeere of our Lord 1620. But I would onely as by the way shew the manifest nullitie thereof by the contradiction that is therein For first it appeareth by the Reuersalls of the said King Vladislaus giuen vnto the Estates of Bohemia on the day of his Assumption to the Crowne that he acknowledged and confessed that hee obtained and receiued the said Crowne by the pure sranke and free will and election of the said Estates and not by any right hereditarie If then hee had not any right hereditarie much lesse had he power to conferre and giue a right of succession hereditarie vnto his daughter Secondly if in regard of his person he had had such a right of succession yet it had not beene lawfull for him to dispose thereof vnto his sonne for that the Realme and Electorate of Bohemia was holden of the Empire only to the heires males as the other Electorates be and cannot fall vnto the Distaffe Women being vncapable to performe the Functions and Offices of men required in the Office of the Electors by vertue of the Golden Bull. Thirdly the said disposition containeth a most grosse and palpable absurditie in that the King Vladislaus saith in it that his sonne hath beene receiuea by the free choise of the Barons Nobles and Townes of the Realme and that hee addeth then by and by that his daughter shal be heire of the said Realme after his death for if the sonne could not come thereto but by the way of free election how can it be concluded that the daughter haue a right of succession hereditary in a estate taile vnto the heires males which her brother had not And to make this absurdly more euident behold the Copie of another Letter Reuersall which Vladislaus gaue vnto the Estates of Bohemia when that they designed accepted Duke Lewis his sonne for to be their future King Vladislaus by the grace of
