The dutchy of Münsterberg was attached to the Czech kingdom after the conquest by Charles IV as a Moravian margrave (since 1333). In the half of the 15th century Münsterberg was purchased by George of Poděbrady, the future Czech king, as a family domicile. Later on he gave over the rule over this dutchy to his three sons, including Henry Sr. of Münsterberg, the great-grandfather of Charles II of Münsterberg. Henry Wenceslas of Münsterberg, son of Charles II, belonged after the defeat of the Bohemian Revolt to the most influential Czech politicians. Mostly to his credit the Kaiser Ferdinand II acknowledged immunity from prosecution to most Silesian estates.
