| Description | The article deals with the literary depiction of Henry VII. of Luxembourg in Chronica Aulae regiae by Peter of Zittau. Through analysis of the used literary devices the author demonstrates, that the abbot of Aula regia (Zbraslav) payed attention to the Roman Emperor particulary as to the father of the future king of Bohemia and that he portrayed Henry as an ideal ruler and almost a saint. Consequently, on the one hand the depiction of Henry VII. of Luxembourg in Chronica Aulae regiae resembles the portray of the king Wenceslaus II., on the other hand it embodies a sharp contrast to the depiction of Henry of Carinthia. |
