Privilegium Rudolfa II. pro olomoucké biskupství z roku 1590. Právní argumentace biskupa Stanislava Pavlovského

The legal position of the Olomouc bishopric was based on a number of privileges that the bishops obtained in the Middle Ages. Despite a general decline of liege structures, the liege system of the Olomouc bishops strongly increased its position in the 16th century. Bishop Stanislav Pavlovský played a key role in enforcement of the bishopric and in strengthening of its position within the Moravian estate structures. With skilful legal argumentation, he managed to convince the king that his demands were rightful and not in conflict with the Moravian estates or the emperor. His efforts resulted in issuance of a privilege in 1590; it had a relatively great impact on the municipal law and strengthened the position of the bishopric.
