Royal cities
The term Royal City denotes a privilege that some cities in Bohemia and Moravia enjoyed during the Middle Ages. It meant the city was an inalienable part of the royal estate; the king could not sell or pledge the city. At the beginning of the 16th Century, about 40 cities enjoyed this privilege. The citizens of these cities had a higher position in the estates of the realm than any other subjects.
A similar status was the ドイツ語:''Lehnstadt'' (plural ドイツ語:''Lehnstädte''); these were a source of income for the Queen. Another source of income for the king were cities with the status of ドイツ語:''Kammerstadt'' (plural ドイツ語:''Kammerstädte''), but these were not inalienable and had a lesser status. These cities had a duty of socage. Originally, this meant that each citizen had to work the kings land a certain number of days each year, but this was soon replaced by a cash payment.

Citizens of the royal cities had a special social status. It took a legal deed to become citizen. If the applicant purchased a home, or lived in te city for a logn time, or could prove ''good'' ancestry and a decent family life and, if he had been a subject, could show a release certificate, then the applicant had a chance to be admitted to this privileged class. There were other ways to obtain this status: one could purchase it, or marry into it. Sometimes a city would offer citizenship, especially to educated inhabitants.
The precise rights and duties of the citizens differed considerably from city to city. They depended on the status of the city. Even among the citizens, there was a hierarchy, which was reflected in income, the order at the Last Supper and the seat in the church, but also at the location of the house.
