Abstract

A neighbourhood of two seigneuries inevitably leads to a formation of mutual relations, whether good or bad. In the contribution, we learn about some connections between the Dominicans convent in Velesovo and the family Strmol that are evident from the preserved archival sources. Despite early extinction of the family, we can determine that mutual contacts were frequent and important for the local history.
