Moravian Nobility
The term "Moravian Nobility" refers to the noble class that emerged in the historical region of Moravia, part of modern-day Czech Republic. This nobility played a significant role in the social, political, and economic life of the region, particularly during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. They often held land, titles, and privileges granted by monarchs, influencing local governance and culture.
Moravian nobles were involved in various activities, including military service and administration. They contributed to the development of towns and agriculture, and many were patrons of the arts and education. The decline of the Moravian nobility began in the 19th century, as social and political changes reshaped the region.
