Geography

History

The first written mention of Dubné is from 1263, when it is written about a lower nobleman Sudslav of Dubné. The village was held by a lower nobility (of Dubné, Roubík of Hlavatce, Dubenský of Chlum, Ojíř of Protivec) until the end of Bohemian Revolt, then it was confiscated to Adam Chval Kunáš of Machovice. In 1623, it was sold to the royal city of České Budějovice, which was the owner of Dubné until the abolition of serfdom.[3]

Since 1850, Dubné has been an independent municipality. The other villages were joined in 1961, including Branišov, which became a separate municipality in 1994.[4]
