He served the Czech king Vladislav II. According an old family legend, he divided his estates among his five sons, just as the Vítkovci family was divided into five branches - Rosenbergs, lords of Krumlov, Jindřichův Hradec, Landštejn, Stráž and Sezimovo Ústí. The paintings which give evidence to this legend are in Český Krumlov, Jindřichův Hradec and Telč.
