Libotický potok creek originates at north part of Hudlice, bypasses the village at the west, supplies three small ponds, bypasses the hill Kozlí hora and flows into the Dibřeský creek.
Wenceslaus Hajek writes in his chronicle the village was gifted by duke Jaromír to his servant Hovora. This story is considered as a romantical fabulation. The first written mention of Hudlice is from 1341.
After Karlštejn was founded in 1348, Hudlice was part of its estate until 1558, later transferred to the Křivoklát estate. From 1425 to 1437 there was a knight's court in Hudlice. The village changed its owners several times and its development was interrupted by the Hussite Wars and the Thirty Years' War.
Hudlice was heavily damaged in a time before the Thirty Years' War. The village was looted by mercenaries called by King Frederick V. Frederick V allowed villagers to catch soldiers and even making death sentences. Later, this attitude was not tolerated and punitive expedition was performed from Křivoklát Castle. Hudlice was looted by several armies of Mansfeld, Bucquoy, Thurn and Wallenstein. Twenty-two houses from the total count of 31 was destroyed.
