Rožmberk Sisters: Letters
摘要
Anéžka (?–1488) and Perchta (1429–1476) were Czech noblewomen and sisters born into the powerful Rožmberk family during final years of the Hussite Wars. The two sisters corresponded regularly through extant letters about their lives, including Perchta’s unhappy arranged marriage and Anéžka’s matters as an unmarried woman. Together, their letters provide valuable insight into the political, religious, and social proceedings for women in medieval Bohemia.
