Kaplíř of Sulevice (Czech: Kaplíř ze Sulevic) was a noble family in the Kingdom of Bohemia, first documented in the 14th century.[1][2] The family was named after the village of Sulevice in northern Bohemia (today known as Sulejovice, part of the Ústí nad Labem Region) and is recorded in land registers and royal charters from the reign of Charles IV. Members of the family held minor feudal offices and served as vassals under higher-ranking nobles within the Bohemian aristocracy.[3] Jan Kaplíř of Sulevice, active in the 15th century, served under King George of Poděbrady during the Hussite Wars.[4]
