ABSTRACT
The aim of the assembly was for both friends and enemies to meet and negotiate for the purpose of peace, justice, and the good of the kingdom, and especially what would help to promote the law of God. Hence, on the second day after St. Marcel’s Day [3 June], the lords of the Czech kingdom, along with many knights, representatives of the people of Prague, and burghers from other towns, met in the parish church at Caslav. At the request of the priests, all humbly knelt and prayed, begging for the gift of the Holy Spirit. The aforementioned assembly at Caslav, it was decided that articles should be sent to King Sigismund, laying out what the assembly regarded as the valid reasons why he was not to be accepted as the Czech king, and why the kingdom had no intention of having him as king. The text of this document was as follows: Most serene prince etc. and king.
