The essay focuses on the life and activities of Juliana Alžběta Sekerková of Sedčice. She was born 1615 in a noble family, probably non -Catholic. After the death of her parents she entered the Premonstratensian Canonry in Doksany (1636) where she later became prioress (1655). Her early life in the religious community was aff ected by the wartime’s violence and danger which repeatedly forced the whole convent to leave Doksany. As prioress Juliana Alžběta was involved in a controversy between Vincent, Abbot of Strahov and Cyrill, Provost of Doksany on the side of the latter. Wartime and the following years (to 1683) were described in her chronicle which continued a previous chronicle by provost Nicholas. She also authored „Vitae“ of the Doksany canonesses of her time.
