Jiří Bořita of Martinice

Jiří Bořita of Martinice (German: Georg Borzita von Martinitz; 1532 – 22 January 1598) was Bohemian Supreme Chancellor.

[1] People in Rome expected that after his appointment as Supreme Chancellor, there would be major changes in the kingdom in favor of the Catholic faith, with a "clear strengthening of their own political influence and that of the entire Catholic party", as evinced in an enthusiastic letter by Cesare Speciano, written shortly after Jiří Bořita's appointment to the office of Supreme Chancellor.

[1] The wishes placed in him filling the office soon proved true; however, although Jiří Bořita tried with everything in his power to fulfill the expectations of the Holy See's diplomat, he was ultimately unable to break the influence of the Vice-Chancellor, and the situation in the Bohemian Court Chancellery remained practically unchanged even after his appointment.

In 1578 he first bought parts of the Čelechovice estate from Friedrich Mičan von Klinstein, buying the rest from his heirs in 1595.

Of these, George died young, so the fortune fell to Jaroslav Bořita of Martinice (1582–1649),[4] his nephew,[4] who later became famous for the Prague Defenestration.
