Description One of the common ways in which the Church (either individuals or institutions) settled its disputes in the Czech lands in the 13th century was through arbitration. This form of extrajudicial ettlement is documented by various types of charters in which different stages of the arbitration proceedings are recorded. This probe will focus on two questions: 1) What types of charters were produced in connection with arbitration in the 13th century and how do they look from a formal point of view? 2) What is the content of these charters and how does the content testify to the practice of arbitration in the Czech lands in the 13th century?
