History
The oldest historical discoveries date back to the early
Stone Age. The first written word of Blovice is from the year
1284, when a reference was made to the Blovice market associated with the
Nepomuk citadel. According to this note, king
Vaclav II declares that thieves caught in the municipality be tried in court Blovice or the high court Nepomuk, rather than sent to the high court in
Prague.
According to written history, Blovice was granted town status in the latter half of the
14th century. Around year
1420, the city was walled to protect from attackers. At this time, the area was ruled by the house Schwanberger. After the death of Bohuslav de Schwanberger, the house of Jaroslav from Javor began its rule of the Blovice province. Beginning with about 1534, King
Vilem (Wilhelm) of Netunice invaded the city, driving out the descendants of Jaroslav from Javor.
