For the following: Analyze and speculate creatively: From the first half of the medieval period, we have no information about our village (except for the data in the aforementioned founding charter of the Smilheim Monastery). Under the reign of Přemysl Otakar I, Moravia became a margraviate and a fiefdom of the Prince of Bohemia in 1197. From this year onwards, it developed to a certain extent independently, practically until the Battle of White Mountain in 1620. During this period, Moravia was usually bestowed by the Czech king upon younger members of the royal family or the king's relatives.
However, we can assume that the influence of the Přemyslid rule was also felt in our region and village, particularly in the settlement of the surrounding mountainous areas and the founding of new settlements, which was supported both during the reign of Wenceslaus I and especially during the reign of Přemysl Otakar II. During this time, a number of villages were also founded in the area of the nearby mountainous Slavičín region (10). After the extinction of the Přemyslid dynasty, the Luxembourg dynasty, represented by John of Luxembourg, husband of the last Přemyslid princess Elisabeth, took over the rule of the Czech lands in 1310.
In 1314, the Hungarian nobleman Matthew III Csák invaded Moravia, including the Vizovice region, devastating not only monastic buildings and other church estates, but also residential buildings, and conquering a number of castles. In the end, King John of Luxembourg himself had to come to the aid of the Moravian nobility and drive Matthew's army out of Moravia and back to Hungary.
After the death of Charles IV in 1378, his son Wenceslaus IV took over the reign. During this period, serfdom was strengthened. The greatest feudal lord in the country was the Church, which also introduced the selling of indulgences. The differences between the individual groups of the population became more acute. This situation was openly criticized and condemned by Master Jan Hus.
Hus's ideas were deeply rooted in the Czech people and spread further, especially after his burning at the stake in 1415. In our region, Hus's views were preached by the priest Tomáš of Vizovice, and the local people were very attached to this teaching. Under the leadership of Tomáš of Vizovice, they attacked and destroyed the monastery in Vizovice in 1418. Vizovice came into the possession of one of the loyal supporters of Hussitism, Boček of Kunštát (19). It is said that Jan Žižka was also in our region in 1423. He probably passed through Zádveřice and reached Vizovice. As he approached them, he could not see ahead, but when he turned back, he could see well. This was said to be a warning to him, and so he ordered his people to turn back. This is a historically unsubstantiated legend, which is mentioned in the book "Okresní hejtmanství holešovské" on page 132 in the description of the history of the village of Provodov by the Vizovice teacher Eduard Peck (80). In 1424, a battle took place near Slušovice between the Hussite troops of Boček of Kunštát and the troops of the Bishop of Olomouc, John Iron. Boček was forced to retreat and eventually lost both Vizovice and Brumov. After the Hussite revolutionary movement, or rather after the proclamation of the Basel Compacts, the majority of the population of our region belonged to the Utraquists. The nobility concentrated a considerable amount of land in their hands, while the power of the Church declined. Our region suffered from robber raids at that time; the castles of Sehrad (Engelsberg) and Starý Světlov were dangerous centers from which robber raids were carried out into the near and far surroundings (19).
Even worse consequences for our region were the Bohemian-Hungarian Wars, which were waged by King George of Poděbrady with the Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus in the second half of the 15th century. In 1469, for example, the Hungarians captured Brumov and Lukov and devastated many villages in the Brumov, Vizovice, and Holešov regions. Whether Zádveřice was also affected, we do not know. As a result of these wars, which ended only after Matthias's death in 1490, the population of our region declined considerably. The abandoned homesteads in the devastated villages were seized by the lords, who also tried to make use of the previously uncultivated mountain land. During this period, the first shepherds, the Vlachs, came to Moravia from neighboring Slovakia and Těšín. The nobility gained the upper hand over the towns, and in order to make the most of all the land, they began, as early as the end of the 15th century, to carry out forest clearing colonization on some estates and to promote the aforementioned pastoralism.
In the 16th century, after a period of constant wars, Moravia finally calmed down. Moravia was proclaimed "a paradise of religious freedom, but also of other provincial freedoms." The literature also describes cases where serfs from Bohemia fled to Moravia, including the Vizovice estate (6). During the 16th century, Hungarian lords acquired estates in Moravia and supported the settlement of shepherds on their estates. The Vizovice estate was bought, for example, in 1594 by the Hungarian nobleman Emerich Dóczy de Nádasd. This foreign nobility began to carry out a harsh Counter-Reformation on their estates, which caused discontent in the country. Moreover, Moravia was at that time ravaged by Turkish invasions, which were repeated almost every year. Imperial soldiers, who were not paid their wages, also plundered and looted the country.
At the beginning of the 17th century (1605), an uprising broke out in Hungary led by Stephen Bocskay, who was a Calvinist and began fighting against the emperor with Protestant hajduks. The consequences of this uprising were very sad for Moravia, and especially for the Vizovice region, as during the Bocskay invasions a considerable part of the population was either killed or taken into captivity (19).
After the Battle of White Mountain in 1620 (in which the Moravians fell almost to a man), all the rights and privileges of the Moravian Estates were abolished and Cardinal Dietrichstein became the Emperor's commissioner in Moravia. The further fate of Moravia after 1620 was the same as that of Bohemia (6).
The Thirty Years' War greatly exhausted our country. During its course, there were a number of trials and confiscations of property. Between 1625 and 1636, the re-Catholicization of the country was basically carried out, which triggered a large wave of emigration and with it new property, social, and ethnic shifts in Moravian society (41). In 1651, an imperial order was issued that non-Catholic preachers, wherever they were caught, should be arrested and imprisoned. Non-Catholic owners of provincial estates were informed that "they had no right to make new entries in the land registers unless they became Catholics within two months or appointed Catholic representatives." Most of the formerly wealthy Moravian nobility remained "propertyless," and if they did not emigrate, they had no hope of participating in social life. The new owners of Moravian estates were mostly German nobility, who pushed Czech life only into villages and small towns (the period of darkness). The lords were ordered "not to employ non-Catholic officials and servants, nor to tolerate subjects of that kind on their estates." An example of the conditions of re-Catholicization in our village is the report of the death of Anna Stuchlíčka (October 14, 1674) from the "Zádveřice Mill." Because she was "a Lutheran," she was buried on Bastlovský Hill (19).
