[c. 1350 – 13.8.1403 ]
Smil Flashka of Pardubice and Rychmburk was a Czech nobleman, the nephew of the first Czech Archbishop, Ernest (Arnošt) of Pardubice.
 
He is known mainly as a writer. He received his bachelor’s degree at the university in Prague in 1367. In the 1380s he was in dispute with Wenceslas IV, trying to prevent Pardubitz (Pardubice) from falling into the hands of the king as and escheat. Although he lost, in 1390 he inherited the Pardubitz and Reichenberg (Rychmburk) estates and six years later he was appointed supreme scribe of the provincial records. From 1403 he held the position of Hetman of the Čáslav region and was a member of the League of Lords. He died in fighting against the Kutná Hora (Kuttenberg) allies of Wenceslas IV. He wrote allegorical verse (for example the poem “New Council”, featuring an assembly of animals representing conservative views on how the king should govern). He also penned aphorisms, proverbs and satire. A street in Pardubice bears his name and his work is still read by students of Czech literature.
