Lords Of Klinštejn
The Lords of Klinštejn were an old Bohemian noble family. They originated from the Ronovci family. They are known from the period of the 13th to the 17th century. The Klinštejn family became involved in the dispute between the Bohemian king John of Bohemia and the Czech nobility after the imprisonment of the nobleman Henry of Lipá in 1315. The family died out by the sword. Origin of the family Judging by the coat of arms (a black island in a golden field), the lords of Klinštejn came from the ancient family of the Ronovci. The coat of arms was also used by other noble families from northern Bohemia, the lords of Dubé, Lipé, and Lichtemburg. Smil, called Světlický, left behind three descendants: a daughter, Scholastika, a nun in the Doksany monastery, an older son, Častolov, and a younger, Jindřich, who held the office of royal burgrave in Budyšín in 1232–1237. From the 1340s, a new generation of Ronovci appeared at the royal court. Častolov of Zittau left behind de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Parish Priest
A parish is a territorial entity in many Christian denominations, constituting a division within a diocese. A parish is under the pastoral care and clerical jurisdiction of a priest, often termed a parish priest, who might be assisted by one or more curates, and who operates from a parish church. Historically, a parish often covered the same geographical area as a manor. Its association with the parish church remains paramount. By extension the term ''parish'' refers not only to the territorial entity but to the people of its community or congregation as well as to church property within it. In England this church property was technically in ownership of the parish priest ''ex-officio'', vested in him on his institution to that parish. Etymology and use First attested in English in the late, 13th century, the word ''parish'' comes from the Old French ''paroisse'', in turn from la, paroecia, the latinisation of the grc, παροικία, paroikia, "sojourning in a foreign ...
