AB Due to its geographic location the area of Místecko represented a conflict of interests of bishops from Olomouc and princes from the Těšín area and also caused clashes between the Moravian and Silesian Estates representatives. The long-term struggle for constitutional status of this area ended in favour of the Olomouc bishopric and the Margraviate of Moravia. The dispute about the feudal tenure in the Místek area was only part of a long-term struggle for constitutional status of some Moravian areas situated in the immediate neighbourhood of Silesia. The problem of these territories did not concern only their immediate patrimonial authorities. The representations of the Estates of both countries dealt with it repeatedly. This context shows local disputes in a broader perspective. Thus we are able to view this question from the point of mutual relations between the Estates representations of both neighbouring countries of the Crown Lands of Bohemia.
