Biography
Biography
Smil Flaška spent his youth in the house of his uncle Arnošt of Pardubice. Before 1367, he obtained a bachelor's degree at the University of Prague. In the years 1384 and 1385 he was in a dispute with King Wenceslas IV, who declared his right to Pardubice as an escheat. The provincial court upheld Wenceslas's claim. Smil Flaška since developed an anti-royal attitude. Smil Flaška inherited the Pardubice and Rychmburk estates in 1390. On 10 January 1395, he joined the League of Lords. From 1396 he was the Supreme Provincial Scribe and from 1403 he served as the governor of the Čáslav region. He died in a battle against royalist supporters in Kutná Hora.
