On this day, August 10, 2018, I claim all castles and lands that the Rosenberg, Seinsheim, and Schwarzenberg family acquired as rulers of Bohemia and Czechoslovakia . Erkinger Seinsheim is my 14th. great grandfather, and, Peter von Rosenberg, my 15th. This is approximate, and needs more study.
I was destined to save the land of my ancestors from Putin, the Ult-right, and Donald Trump who declared NATO an enemy of the United States. NATO was founded in order to save Czechoslovakia from the Soviet Union. There will be many posts on this Quest, that is a Dynastic as well as Political and National device to save NATO and all of Europe. Scroll down to see the property I might soon own.
God has blessed my endeavor and fills the sky with falling stars, as did fill the heavens when I was born on October 8, 1946

Peter Vok was born in Český Krumlov, the son of Jošt III of Rosenberg, then head of the house of Rožmberk, and his wife Anna of Rogendorf. Fourteen days after Peter’s birth, his father died. Peter came under the guardianship of first his uncle Petr V of Rožmberk and later Albrecht of Gutnštejn, Oldřich Holický of Šternberk and Jeroným Šlik.
He received his early education at home in the castle at Český Krumlov. Even as he reached adulthood, Peter lived in the shadow of his older brother William. While William was a life-long Catholic, Peter sympathised with Utraquism and eventually joined the Unity of the Brethren. William died in 1592, and Peter inherited the Rosenberg holdings.

From his childhood, Peter Wok grew up in the shadow of his older brother Wilhelm von Rosenberg who was being prepared for the position of Rosenberg. This was a reason why Peter Wok never achieved a more influential position or more success in politics and lived in seclusion at the Bechyně castle. He took over the care of the Rosenberg after Wilhelm´s death in 1592. Because he did not have any children with his wife Kateřina of Ludanice, he was forced to sell the Český Krumlov castle to Emperor Rudolf II von Habsburg in 1601, also because his family was in deep debt. Peter Wok used to be described in the older literature only as a spoiled profligate, but this is quite untrue. The “last Rosenberg” died in 1611 in his residence in Třeboň. See also the last Rosenberg, Peter Wok von Rosenberg.

Alchemy in Český Krumlov
The second half of the 16th century is usually called “the golden age of alchemy”. Beside Emperor Rudolf II. von Habsburg, it was Wilhelm von Rosenberg who became the most important Maecenas of the hermetic sciences, especially of alchemy. Around the House of Rosenberg, in fact, arose a second center of hermetic and alchemic activity. Not only renowned and lesser known enthusiastic seekers, but also skilled con artists worked their magic in the Prague Rosenberg Palace as well as in different seats of Wilhelm’s South Bohemian dominion – in Třeboň, Prachatice, and especially in Český Krumlov, which used to be called “the South Bohemian Mecca of alchemists”.

Leben[Bearbeiten|Life Quelltext bearbeiten]Edit ]
Erkinger von Seinsheim wurde im Jahr 1362 als erster und einziger Sohn von Michael I. von Seinsheim geboren. Erkinger von Seinsheim was born in 1362 as the first and only son of Michael I. von Seinsheim. Seine Mutter war Margarethe von Rosenberg , mit der sich der Vater nach dem Tod der ersten Frau vermählt hatte. His mother was Margarethe von Rosenberg , with whom the father had married after the death of the first wife. [2] Michael von Seinsheim war Burghauptmann der Festung Marienberg und als solcher dem Würzburger Fürstbischof unterstellt. Michael von Seinsheim was captain of the fortress Marienberg and as such subordinated to the Würzburg Prince Bishop. Erkinger wuchs auf der Burg Stephansberg nahe Haidt auf. Erkinger grew up on the Stephansberg Castle near Haidt .
Nach dem Tod des Vaters am 30. Juli 1399 übernahm Erkinger die Besitzungen. After the death of the father on July 30, 1399 Erkinger took over the possessions. Die Familie war wohlhabend und der junge Adelige konnte durch Zukauf die Familiengüter vermehren. The family was well-to-do and the young nobleman was able to multiply the family goods by buying them. Noch im Jahr 1399 kaufte er das Dorf Astheim , 1406 wurde er Oberjägermeister des Hochstifts Würzburg . Still in the year 1399 he bought the village Astheim , 1406 he became Oberjägermeister of the high pin Würzburg . Am 2. Juni 1409 übergab der Herr von Seinsheim das Dorf Astheim an den Kartäuserorden, der hier ein Kloster gegründet hatte. On June 2, 1409, the Lord of Seinsheim handed over the village of Astheim to the Carthusian Order, who had founded a monastery there. Die Kartause Pons Mariae (lat. Marienbrück) wurde Grablege für die Familie. The Charterhouse Pons Mariae (Latin Marienbrück) was burial place for the family.
Die Nähe zu König Sigismund von Luxemburg führte im Jahr 1416 zur Ernennung zum Kaiserlichen Rat. The proximity to King Sigismund of Luxembourg led in 1416 to the appointment to the Imperial Council. Ein Jahr zuvor, 1415, wurde auf kaiserlichen Befehl das Dorf Scheinfeld zur Stadt erhoben. A year earlier, in 1415, the village Scheinfeld was raised to imperial power to the city. Es muss sich zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits in der Hand des Erkinger befunden haben. It must already have been in the hands of the Erkinger at this time. Der Adelige hatte Schloss Schwarzenberg nahe Scheinfeld von den Herren von Vestenberg, von Abenberg und dem verschuldeten Hochstift Würzburg erworben. The nobleman had acquired Schwarzenberg Castle near Scheinfeld from the Lords of Vestenberg, Abenberg and the indebted Hochstift Würzburg.
Erkinger verlegte den Familiensitz auf die mächtige Steigerwaldfestung und nannte sich fortan auch „Herr zu Schwarzenberg“. Erkinger moved the family seat to the mighty Steigerwald Fortress and from then on called himself “Herr zu Schwarzenberg”. Gleichzeitig begann der Adelige den Herrschaften der Umgebung Darlehen zu gewähren. At the same time, the nobleman began granting loans to the local people. So liehen sich das Hochstift Würzburg und der Burggraf von Nürnberg Geld beim Herren von Schwarzenberg. Thus, the Hochstift Würzburg and the Burggraf of Nuremberg borrowed money from the Lord of Schwarzenberg. Im Jahr 1417 reiste Erkinger dann an der Seite des Königs zum Konzil von Konstanz und traf hier erstmals auf die Anhänger der hussitischen Lehre. In 1417 Erkinger then traveled to the side of the king to the Council of Constance and met here for the first time on the followers of the Hussite doctrine. [3][3]
In den Jahren 1420 und 1429 wurde Erkinger Feldhauptmann des Königs und zog gegen die Hussiten ins Feld. In the years 1420 and 1429 Erkinger became captain of the king and moved against the Hussites in the field. Die Krönung seiner Karriere erreichte Erkinger im Jahr 1429. Er wurde vom König zum Frei- und Bannerherren ernannt und damit Teil des Herrenstandes. The coronation of his career reached Erkinger in 1429. He was appointed by the king to the Free and Bannerherren and thus part of the manor. [4] Zugleich war Erkinger allerdings immer noch Ministeriale des Würzburger Fürstbischofs Johann II. von Brunn . At the same time Erkinger was still ministerial of the Würzburg Prince-Bishop John II of Brunn . Von diesem kaufte er sich im Jahr 1432 ein Gut auf dem Marienberg oberhalb Würzburgs. From this he bought in 1432 a good on the Marienberg above Würzburg.
1432 hatte Erkinger auch das Schloss und Amt Hohenlandsberg erworben und war somit Amtmann geworden. In 1432 Erkinger had also acquired the castle and office Hohenlandsberg and thus became a bailiff . Die Söhne des Stammvaters nannten sich noch Herren von Seinsheim, Freiherren von Schwarzenberg, während die Enkel bereits die Bezeichnung „Seinsheim“ ablegten und nur noch den Titel „Schwarzenberg“ trugen. The sons of the ancestor were still called lords of Seinsheim, barons of Schwarzenberg, while the grandchildren were already the name “Seinsheim” and only wore the title “Schwarzenberg” wore. Erkinger I. von Seinsheim, Freiherr von Schwarzenberg starb am 11. Dezember 1437 und wurde in seiner Stiftung Astheim begraben. Erkinger I von Seinsheim, Baron Schwarzenberg died on December 11, 1437 and was buried in his foundation Astheim. [5][5]

The Schwarzenberg land holdings in Bohemia included the Duchy of Krumlov, the town of Prachatice and Orlík Castle. The family also acquired the property of the House of Rosenberg (Czech: Rožmberkové). On their lands, the Schwarzenbergs created ponds, planted forests and introduced new technologies in agriculture.[1]
Upon the establishment of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in 1939, the possessions of Prince Adolph of Schwarzenberg were seized by the Nazi authorities. He managed to flee, but his cousin Heinrich, Duke of Krumlov, was arrested and deported. After World War II, the Czechoslovakian government stated, by law No. 143/1947 from August 13, 1947 (Lex Schwarzenberg), that the assets of the Schwarzenberg-Hluboká primogeniture passed to the Land of Bohemia.[1]
