This is how Czech sites translate poddanske mesto into DE. There's an entry on the DE>EN board where they opted for "subject to" or "under the dominion of" so if you've got the attribute (Rozmberks?) that might work (tributary town was suggested but rejected - the ref. was a Czech site). On the other hand, there's no guarantee that Untertanenstadt is the right CZ>DE translation. Sorry, Scott, I've come to a dead end for the time being.

I agree, I actually go with English websites quite often.

Actually your best bet might be to post poddanske mesto on the Czech>German board and then work it out from the German. IMHO it's pointless translating this from Czech to English because the terms on the Internet have no historical basis. Whereas German > English should offer something of substance.

We're going through German then? My brother's a history lecturer (specialist: German witch trials) so if he gets back to me this evening I'll let you know.

Hospodářský význam začala získávat i poddanská města, mezi nimi zejména Horažďovice, Horšovský Týn, Bor and další.

Can you tell us which town/city/region, Scott? The answer might vary depending on the specific history of the place.
