Founding of the University of Prague

King Charles IV signs the founding charter of Charles University in Prague Castle, surrounded by scholars, clergy, and nobility, establishing the first university in Central Europe.

Setting

The Vladislav Hall within Prague Castle, a grand chamber with high vaulted ceilings and large arched windows. The room is adorned with tapestries depicting religious and historical scenes, and the stone walls bear the marks of Gothic craftsmanship.

TNGF
SELECTED
King Charles IV
primary
A regal figure with a strong, commanding presence, his face marked by the wisdom of a ruler who has seen both war and peace. His piercing eyes reflect a keen intellect and deep devotion to his kingdom and faith.
Archbishop Arnošt of Pardubice
primary
A tall, stately man in his early 50s with a gaunt, ascetic face, sharp cheekbones, and deep-set eyes that convey both wisdom and solemnity. His silvering hair is neatly tonsured in the clerical fashion, and his long fingers cradle a lavishly bound Bible with visible reverence.
Master Jan of Streda
secondary
A senior scholar with a lean frame and sharp, observant eyes that reflect his keen intellect. His slightly hunched posture suggests years spent poring over manuscripts.
Royal Scribe
secondary
A middle-aged man with a slightly hunched posture from years of bending over parchment. His hands are stained with ink, and his fingers are nimble from years of delicate writing. His face is serious, with deep-set eyes that rarely look up from his work.
Noble Observer
background
A middle-aged nobleman with a sharp, observant gaze and a neatly trimmed beard. His posture exudes the confidence of high birth, though his expression is one of quiet contemplation.

Dialog

King Charles IV By the grace of Almighty God and for the advancement of His divine wisdom, we set forth this charter, that Prague may be a beacon of learning for all Christendom.
Archbishop Arnošt of Pardubice As Augustine teaches us, 'The mind is not enlightened by the senses, but by the inner light of truth.' May this university forever seek that truth, Deo volente.
King Charles IV Let it be known that from this day, the sons of Bohemia shall no longer journey to Paris or Bologna to drink from the well of knowledge—the spring now flows here.
Archbishop Arnošt of Pardubice Mutatis mutandis, this charter is both a shield against ignorance and a sword for the faith. The scholars gathered shall be our new apostles of reason.
