## Biography

[edit]

Smil Flaška spent his youth in the house of his uncle Arnošt of Pardubice.[1] Before 1367, he obtained a bachelor's degree at the University of Prague.[2] In the years 1384 and 1385 he was in a dispute with King Wenceslas IV, who declared his right to Pardubice as an escheat. The provincial court upheld Wenceslas's claim. Smil Flaška since developed an anti-royal attitude.[3]

Smil Flaška inherited the Pardubice and Rychmburk [cs] estates in 1390. On 10 January 1395, he joined the League of Lords.[3] From 1396 he was the Supreme Provincial Scribe and from 1403 he served as the governor of the Čáslav region.[2] He died in a battle against royalist supporters in Kutná Hora.[4]

## In popular culture
