Tlustice is a municipality and village in Beroun District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,200 inhabitants.

Etymology

The name is derived either from the Czech word tlustý (i.e. 'fat') or from the personal name Tlustý, meaning "the village of Tlustý's people". ^[2]

Geography

Tlustice is located about 17 kilometres (11 mi) southwest of Beroun and 40 km (25 mi) southwest of Prague. It lies in the Hořovice Uplands. The highest point is the hill Tlustický vršek at 402 m (1,319 ft) above sea level.

History

The first written mention of Tlustice is from 1320, when King John of Bohemia donated the village to Zbyněk Zajíc (later known as Zbyněk Zajíc of Hazmburk), who annexed the village to his Žebrák estate. In 1336, Zbyněk Zajíc gave the Žebrák estate to the royal chamber in exchange for another estate. Until 1557, the estate with the Tlustice village was fiefed to various noblemen. In 1557, it was bought by the Lobkowicz family. ^[3]

In 1607, the royal chamber confiscated the estate to the Lobkowiczs. In 1611, Jan Litvín Kavka of Říčany bought Tlustice and annexed it to the Hořovice estate. As a result of the Bohemian Revolt, Jan Kavka's properties were confiscated in 1622 and the Hořovice estate was acquired by the Martinic family. ^[3]
