Local history in three dates

The oldest surviving written record of Věžky dates from 1349. In 1373, Cyril z Kokor’s sale of one and a half lán in Věžky to Zbyňěk z Kokor and his wife Kateřina was recorded; Mukař z Kokor is also named in connection with half a lán. In 1381, Bedřich (Friduš) z Drahotuš secured a dowry of 250 hryvnias for his wife Anna against estates in Věžky and Vlkoš.

There are 24 years between 1349 and the transaction of 1373, followed by another eight years until the dowry of 1381. This makes the sequence easy to follow: the oldest surviving record is followed by a land sale and, later, the securing of a dowry. If you are interested in historical details involving specific names and property connections, these provide three clear reference points for the village’s history.
