Právo a súdna prax v každodennom živote uhorskej šľachty za vlády Anjouovcov (na príklade rodu Bubekovcov z Plešivca)
Law and Judicial Practice in the Everyday Life of the Nobility of the Kingdom of Hungary under the Anjou Dynasty (Following the Example of the Bubek Family from Plešivec)

Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the course of judicial practice under the Anjou dynasty in the Kingdom of Hungary. The author specializes in the role of the judiciary in the life of the medieval nobility of the Kingdom of Hungary. The intensity of medieval law and judicial practice‘s impact on the lives of the nobility is examined using the example of the noble family Bubek from Plešivec, which was involved in numerous legal disputes in the 14th century. Preserved sources on the disputes of the Bubek family and their resolution in court provided the author with the opportunity to create at least a partial picture of how property disputes among the nobility of the Kingdom of Hungary were resolved in the 14th century. The author drew attention to the involvement of members of the family in several disputes and courts at various levels. The picture of judicial practice in the 14th century is completed by a brief description of the judicial practice of one of the members of the family, the judge royal Stephen Bubek. By describing the disputes that the Bubeks litigated, provoked, or were drawn into, the author captures evidence of medieval law in practice, presenting various procedural steps that, according to contemporary customs, preceded the resolution of a dispute in court, as well as various forms of the course of the court hearings themselves. Through an analysis of selected procedural actions, the author also examines the Bubeks‘ relationship with the judiciary and their possible attempts to abuse their power.
