Summary/Abstract: On behalf of Lord Radouš. Interpreting a tale in the course of the centuries. The essay presents a survey of a tale’s development concerning a Lord called Radouš from Plzeň’s region. The character of Radouš appears first in the renaissance chronicle by Hájek z Libočan, who describes him as the founder of the Radyně castle and OldPlzeň. Older texts concerning Radouš have been collected by the collector Jaroslav Schiebl in his book “Hrad Radyně. Pověsti a staré tradice” (The castle of Radyně. Tale and old tradition.”) (1924). The author focuses on the changing image of Radouš in different historical periods including current interpretations (historical festivities, commercialization of the subject, and new literary adaptation).
