metadata.value: Concept of the Czech ethnic, state and historical identity had been formed in the 11th–12th
  centuries, earlier than that of the other European nations. Czech society was realized as integral ethnic-state
  organism based on the historical legend about Czech genesis and building of the state power (fore-father
  Czech and so called vocation of Přemysl the Ploughman). This legend is unique in the European state
  ideology. Saint Václav cult added the aspect of unity of the sacral, church and state spheres to Czech identity.
  In the 14th century, the Charles IV epoch, Czech kingdom became the new state and religious center of the
  Hole Roman Empire and Europe. This elevation transformed Czech self-consciousness to higher level. New
  feature of Czech ideology was formed it is the idea of God-elect Czech nation. The hussite ideology in the
  15th century transformed this idea to the ethnic-confessional form. The Hussite revolution disrupted Czech society into two confessional groups and delivered a blow to the Czech identity as integral medieval nation.
  Recatholisation of the Czech Lands in the Baroque epoch transformed Czech identity again and much more.
  Czech mentality was changed. New idea of the returning of the hussite prodigal son to Catholicism was
  formed. In the conditions of the integration into Habsburg Empire, developing of the so called land patriotism
  and people catholic Christianity created Jan Nepomucký as a new Czech national saint, Czechs preserved
  their language and ethnic and cultural identity.
