Stěhování národů presents migration as part of a transformation across the European world. Jarmila Bednaříková connects the movement of peoples with changes in law, religion, and everyday life at the transition from antiquity to the early Middle Ages.
Historian Jarmila Bednaříková's Stěhování národů explores one of the pivotal periods of transformation in European history. The author traces the movements of Germanic and other ethnic groups, the breakdown of Roman structures, and the emergence of new political, social, and cultural conditions. She examines how different groups settled, alongside their social organization, law, religion, and daily lives. Drawing on scholarly literature and her own research, she places migration within Europe's broader transition from late antiquity to the early Middle Ages.

What is Stěhování národů about?
The book examines the era traditionally known as the Migration Period, when Europe's political and ethnic map changed dramatically. Jarmila Bednaříková looks beyond the movement of tribes to explore the deeper social and cultural processes that accompanied migration.
Her account follows the gradual breakdown of Roman imperial structures, changes to economic and political systems, and the formation of new centers of power. Particular attention is given to Germanic groups: their settlement patterns, social and legal organization, religion, and everyday life.
The book combines scholarship from existing literature with the author's own research. An earlier edition also highlights the period's importance for the arrival of Slavic populations in the Bohemian Basin. Migration is thus presented as a complex transformation of the world between antiquity and the Middle Ages.
