Wallachians, borders, Moravia, Silesia, irregular armed units

Studie se věnuje specifickému období v dějinách regionu, které bylo poznamenáno častými válečnými konflikty. Nepravidelné ozbrojené útvary doplňovaly v tomto období pravidelnou armádu. Tyto jednotky, které se většinou rekrutovaly z místní valašské populace, sehrávaly důležitou roli v obraně Moravy a Slezska od 16. století do počátku 18. století.

The focus of the paper is a specific period which was marked by frequent military conflicts. Irregular armed units were supplementary compotnents of military structure at the time; instead of being a permanent force, they were called into action ad hoc, whenever need. These units, which were mainly recruited from the local Wallachian population, played an important role in defending the eastern borders of Moravia and Silesia from the late 16th century to the first decades of the 18th century.
