Vratislaus I of Bohemia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vratislaus I or Wratislaus I (Czech: Vratislav I) (c.888February 13, 921), Duke of Bohemia (915921), was the younger brother of Spytihnev I.

By his wife Drahomira, Vratislaus had two sons, Wenceslaus and Boleslaus. Střezislava, the wife of the important Bohemian nobleman Slavnik (founder of Slavnik's dynasty), is also by some historians supposed to be a daughter of Vratislaus.

The Chronicle of Fulda reports that in 900 the Bavarians attacked Moravia in alliance with the Bohemians. Vratislaus died (possibly in 919, although 921 is more often conjectured) in battle against the Magyars.
