This arlicle proposes a new theory explaining why in 1465 the Czech Catholic noblemen rebelled against the King of Bohemia, Jiri of Podebrady. One of the main reasons was the interference of the city of Wrocław (Breslau), which tried to usurp the historical right of the Bohemian nobility to chose the Bohemian king. It also brings back to light the crucial role played in these events by Jośt II of Rosenberg, who was not only a representative of the most powerful noble family in Bohemia, but also the Bishop of Wrocław.
