King See also:Wenceslaus II. of Bohemia (1278-1305), it was given by him to his wife See also:Elizabeth, and thus received the name of Dvur Kralove (the court of the See also:queen). During the Hussite See also:wars, Dvur Kralove was several times taken and retaken by the contending parties. In a See also:battle fought partly within the streets of the See also:town, the See also:Austrian See also:army was totally defeated by the Prussians on the 29th of See also:June 1866. In the ,9th See also:century Dvur Kralove became widely known as the spot where a MS. was found that was See also:long believed to be one of the See also:oldest written documents in the Czech See also:language. In 1817 Wenceslas See also:Hanka, afterwards for a long See also:period librarian of the Bohemian museum, declared that he had found in the See also:- CHURCH

time, from the first expressed suspicions, the MS. known as the Kralodvorsky Rukopis See also:manuscript of Koniginhof was long accepted as genuine, frequently printed and translated into most See also:European See also:languages. Doubts as to the genuineness of the document never, however, ceased, and they became stronger when Hanka was convicted of having fabricated other false Bohemian documents. A See also:series of See also:works and articles written by Professors Goll, Gebauer, Masoryk, and others have recently proved that the MS. is a See also:forgery, and hardly any Bohemian scholars of the See also:present See also:day believe in its genuineness.
The discussion of the authenticity of the MS. of Dvur Kralove lasted with See also:short interruptions about seventy years, and the Bohemian works written on the subject would fill a considerable library. See also:Count See also:Lutzow's See also:History of Bohemian Literature gives a brief See also:account of the controversy.
