Lucemburský, the Czech king. The Dean's Office of Děčín was delegated to him in 1341.

In the second half of the 14th century the family of Weitmile was concerned significantly in the development of the city even behind its walls. Members of this family used to hold positions of reeve and parsons. Petr z Weitmile was assigned as a witness on the granting of the urban discretions document by Hynek Berka z Dubé in 1381. Development of the city and a larger part of Bohemia was paused by a great plague epidemic in 1389. In the end of the 14th century the castle was controlled by other members of lords of Lipá family, of which a powerful and significant Hynek Hlaváč was often referred, until the beginning of Hussite wars when in May 1426 it was carried by Hussites led by Jan Roháč z Dubé and became their considerable stronghold until 1436. In years 1502 to 1553 a larger part of the city and its surroundings belonged to Vartenberks. Later, the lords of Dubá / Lipá gained the castle again and kept it over 100 years. Albrecht of Valdštejn reunited the city in 1622 to 1623 being disintegrated by Berkas. The city was destroyed in large part in 1787 and 1820
