“Writ” of Margrave Charles (‘Wenceslaus’) of Moravia [Present-day Czech Republic; Margraviate of Moravia]: “Margrave Charles (‘Wenceslaus’) of Moravia gifts the annual tax, which the local Jews who live there pay, to the city of [Hradisch/Magyarhradis] so that they can [re]build the city walls […].” [Researcher’s note: This is a translation of a German summary of the Latin text. The original can be found in Volume VII of the “Codex diplomaticus et epistolaris Moraviae.” The Latin document was written and signed in Brno. Margrave Charles became King of Bohemia in 1347; King of the Romans in 1346; and was finally crowned Holy Roman Empire and King of Italy in 1355.]
