As a legally defined state of nobility in the <a href="/wiki/Czech_lands" title="Czech lands">Czech lands</a>, it arose in the course of the 13th century, when members of noble families began to own newly built stone <a href="/wiki/Castle" title="Castle">castles</a>.

Both groups were at war with each other both during the <a href="/wiki/Hussite_Wars" title="Hussite Wars">Hussite Wars</a> and long after them. After the end of the Hussite Wars and the rule of the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Luxembourg" title="House of Luxembourg">Luxembourgers</a> in the 1530s, the country was controlled by various noble associations. In 1452, they agreed on a land administrator, who became the noble <a href="/wiki/George_of_Pod%C4%9Bbrady" title="George of Poděbrady">George of Poděbrady</a>. Five years later he was elected King of Bohemia, but disputes between the Catholic and Protestant nobility continued until the outbreak of the <a href="/wiki/Thirty_Years%27_War" title="Thirty Years' War">Thirty Years' War</a> in 1618. <sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Prager.Fenstersturz.1618.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/Prager.Fenstersturz.1618.jpg/220px-Prager.Fenstersturz.1618.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="160" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/Prager.Fenstersturz.1618.jpg/330px-Prager.Fenstersturz.1618.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/Prager.Fenstersturz.1618.jpg/440px-Prager.Fenstersturz.1618.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1530" data-file-height="1112" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Defenestrations_of_Prague" title="Defenestrations of Prague">Defenestration of Prague</a>, 1618</figcaption></figure> <p>The status of the nobility further increased in 1500, when the Vladislav land constitution was issued. In 1526, <a href="/wiki/Ferdinand_I,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor">Ferdinand I of Habsburg</a> was elected King of Bohemia. He, along with his successors, tried to reduce the influence of the nobility. This process was interrupted during the reign of <a href="/wiki/Rudolf_II,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor">Rudolf II</a> in the years 1576-1611. In 1618, the Protestant part of the Czech estates started the <a href="/wiki/Bohemian_Revolt" title="Bohemian Revolt">Bohemian Revolt</a> by throwing imperial officials out of the windows of <a href="/wiki/Prague_Castle" title="Prague Castle">Prague Castle</a>. Czech Protestants were defeated in the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_White_Mountain" title="Battle of White Mountain">Battle of White Mountain</a> in 1620, and the following year 27 leaders of this rebellion were executed. Thus, the Catholic aristocracy definitively won over the Protestant aristocracy in Bohemia, but at the same time the <a href="/wiki/Absolute_monarchy" title="Absolute monarchy">absolutist monarchy</a> won over the <a href="/wiki/The_Estates" title="The Estates">estate monarchy</a>. </p><p>During the <a href="/wiki/Thirty_Years%27_War" title="Thirty Years' War">Thirty Years' War</a> after the Battle of White Mountain, a large part of the Protestant nobility had their property confiscated.

In response to the direct threat to the democratic state by <a href="/wiki/Nazi_Germany" title="Nazi Germany">Nazi Germany</a>, the most important noble families issued a Declaration of the members of the old Czech families on the inviolability of the territory of the Czech state.

A similar statement was issued a year later, already in the occupied <a href="/wiki/Protectorate_of_Bohemia_and_Moravia" title="Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia">Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia</a>. In September 1939, the National Declaration of the Czech Nobility was drawn up, in which 85 of the most important Czech noblemen from 33 noble families declared their Czech nationality. The Nazis subsequently confiscated the property of these nobles, and some then lived through the war in house internment or in concentration camps. Some nobles managed to emigrate. Part of the nobles actively participated in the domestic resistance, for example the Bořek-Dohalský brothers were murdered in a concentration camp, Karel VI Schwarzenberg or Václav Norbert Kinský participated in the anti-Nazi uprising in 1945.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1945, the properties of most Czech noble families were returned. However, there was a deportation of the majority of the population of German nationality, in which both the nobles who collaborated with the Nazis and the nobles who did not collaborate with the Nazis, but only claimed German nationality before the war, lost their property. For example, Trauttmansdorff, <a href="/wiki/Windisch-Graetz" title="Windisch-Graetz">Windischgrätz</a>, Clam-Gallas, <a href="/wiki/Thurn_und_Taxis" title="Thurn und Taxis">Thurn-Taxis</a>, <a href="/wiki/Desfours_family" title="Desfours family">Desfours</a>, or one branch of the <a href="/wiki/Kinsky" title="Kinsky">Kinsky</a>, <a href="/wiki/Czernin_family" title="Czernin family">Czernin</a> and <a href="/wiki/House_of_Rohan" title="House of Rohan">Rohan</a> families had to leave the Czech lands. Due to the growing influence of the communists in <a href="/wiki/Third_Czechoslovak_Republic" title="Third Czechoslovak Republic">Czechoslovakia</a> in the years 1945-1948, the return of some property was also withheld (the <a href="/wiki/Colloredo-Mansfeld" class="mw-redirect" title="Colloredo-Mansfeld">Colloredo-Mannsfeld</a> case), or the unjust confiscation of the primogeniture property of the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Schwarzenberg" title="House of Schwarzenberg">Schwarzenberg</a> family (based on the Lex Schwarzenberg Act of 1947<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>). <a href="/wiki/House_of_Liechtenstein" title="House of Liechtenstein">The Liechtenstein family</a> is still suing the <a href="/wiki/Czech_Republic" title="Czech Republic">Czech Republic</a> for seized property, as well as several other families labeled as Germans after the war.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1948, there was a <a href="/wiki/Communist_Czechoslovakia" class="mw-redirect" title="Communist Czechoslovakia">communist coup in Czechoslovakia</a>.

A large part of the Czech nobility therefore emigrated (for example, the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Schwarzenberg" title="House of Schwarzenberg">Schwarzenberg</a>, <a href="/wiki/Colloredo-Mansfeld" class="mw-redirect" title="Colloredo-Mansfeld">Colloredo-Mannsfelds</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kolowrat_family" title="Kolowrat family">Kolowrat</a>, Hildprand, some <a href="/wiki/Lobkowicz_family" title="Lobkowicz family">Lobkowitz</a> or Sternberg).
