Bohemian Nobility
Bohemian or Czech nobility refers to the noble families of the Czech state (historically composed of Bohemia proper, Moravia, Silesia (especially Upper) and Lusatia), also known as "Bohemian Crown", "Lands of the Bohemian Crown" or "Lands of the Crown of Saint Wenceslas".
Aristocracy was abolished by law (No. 61/1918 Sb. z. a n.) in December 1918, shortly after establishment of the independent Czechoslovak Republic.

Famous quotes containing the word nobility:
“I have come to the conclusion that the closer people are to what may be called the front lines of government ... the easier it is to see the immediate underbrush, the individual tree trunks of the moment, and to forget the nobility the usefulness and the wide extent of the forest itself.... They forget that politics after all is only an instrument through which to achieve Government.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
