The Moravian written sources from medieval age suitable for study of medieval nobility and its seats are better preserved than the same sources from former Czech kingdom, mainly thanks to preserved Land Tables.

To study existence and number of seats of lesser quality – manorial farms attested only by written sources it’s necessary to focus on this problem in smaller regions. In this case we choose region of former judicial district Jemnice from 19th century. In middle ages there was large share of allodium property of lesser nobility there, which make possible to clearly demonstrate the possibilities of study of medieval Moravian written sources
