Description The initial phase of research into the character and extent of domains belonging to castles in Southwest Moravia involved a summary of previous knowledge of the proprietary background of 32 castle sites in the region under review in the period before the Hussite Wars. Even though the quantitative and qualitative deficiencies of preserved source materials diminish the possibilities of a comparison between the character and development of proprietary backgrounds in individual castles, they give us an idea of the extent of domains in 20 localities from the whole set under review, at least for one date before the outbreak of the Hussite Wars. The above research confirms the previous idea that the extent of domains in colonisation areas was larger when compared to the old settlement territory, and the assumption that the functioning of a 14th century castle may have been secured by relatively small demesne including 1–2 villages.
