Summary/Abstract: The paper examines a several-year discord of Arnošt of Pardubice, the first archbishop of Prague, with the Benedictine nuns of St. George’s abbey at Prague Castle led by their Abbess Agnes. The conflict, which culminated in an interdict imposed on the abbey, could only be reconciled after the intervention of Emperor Charles IV in 1355. The author gathers all available information on these events and evaluates their consequences for the convent.
