Note: "Jindřichův Hradec District (Czech: okres Jindřichův Hradec) is a district (okres) within South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. Its capital is Jindřichův Hradec. To the east, about a fifth of the region, including the historical towns of Dačice and Slavonice, historically belongs to Moravia.

As most of southern Bohemia, the district was ruled by the Vítkovci – descendants of Vítek z Prčice – from the turn of the 12th/13th century until the early modern era. One of the branches of Vítkovci – the Lords of Hradec (Páni z Hradce) – ruled over their large estates in the Bohemian-Moravian borderlands from the imposing residence in Jindřichův Hradec until their demise in 1598. As the most powerful family branch, the Rožmberkové held control over a mostly southern Bohemian dominium whose last center was based in Třeboň where the last male heir, Petr Vok, died in 1611. Two more out of the originally 5 branches of Vítkovci – Páni ze Stráže (Lords of Stráž, died out in 1470) and Páni z Landštejna (Lords of Landštejn, died out in 1612) – were also based in the current Jindřichův Hradec District." - (en.wikipedia.org 26.06.2021)
