During the political upheaval caused by [[Matthias Corvinus]] the land around [[Pszczyna]] was overtaken by [[Casimir II, Duke of Cieszyn]], who sold it in 1517 to the Hungarian [[magnate]]s of the [[Thurzó]] family, forming the [[Duchy of Pless|Pless]] [[state country]]. In the accompanying sales document issued on 21 February 1517 the village was mentioned as ''Bohuticze''.<ref>{{cite journal|last= Musioł|first= Ludwik|date= 1930|title= Dokument sprzedaży księstwa pszczyńskiego z dn. 21. lutego 1517 R.|url= http://www.sbc.org.pl/dlibra/docmetadata?id=9512&from=publication|journal= Roczniki Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk na Śląsku|location= Katowice|publisher= nakł.
