Note 59 — Chapter IV · THE PERIOD OF THE HUSSITE WARS
Reading edition
The Bohemian word rota is not easy to interpret. It can be translated by "bands" or "classes," but it has an invidious signification which the English word "classes" does not render. The word is frequently used by Chelčicky with reference to the aristocracy and higher clergy. Chelčicky wrote a separate treatise, O rotách Cěských but it has not been preserved.
