Abstract

Jadwiga Szymczak-Hoff WACŁAW I FROM THE HOUSE OF PRZEMYŚLIDZI The house of Przemyślidzi belonged to the most powerful families in the Czech. After dealing with the house of Sławnikowicze, they becamed unlimited rulers of Chech and Moravia. The period of their greatest power fell in XIIIth century, when the rule in Czech wielded in turn: Wacław I, his son Przemysł Ottokar II, and his grandson Wacław II. Wacław I was the son of Przemysł Ottokar I and Konstancja, the daughter of Bella II, the king of Hungary. He was born circa 1205. He was elected by a king of Czech at the gathering of Czech nobles („Commune colloquium Boemorum”) 8 VI 1216 in Prague, but the coronation took place only on 6 of February 1228, ,,vivente patre”. His wife was Kunegunda, the daughter of Filip Szwabski and Irena, the daughter of Byzantium emperor, whom he married in 1228. Wacław ad Kunegunda had 5 children: two sons: Władysław, the margrave of Moravia and the prince of Austria, and Ottokar II, who later bacame king of Czech, and three daughters: Beatrycze Bożena, the wife of Otton III Brandenburski; Agnieszka – wife of Henryk Światły, the margrave of Miśnia; and their sister who died young and with unknown name. In documents Wacław I is presenting as a „quartus rex Boemorum”, for he was the fourth king in the history of Czech, but the first named after Wacław, the saint patron of Czech. He was energetic and talented ruler, but not as prominent as his father Przemysł Ottokar I (d. 15 December 1230). First of all, he was less independent. In the first years after death of his father, he was under a strong influence of his mother (d. 1240). In the last year of his rules, Wacław began to move away from politics and he spended all weeks in remote castles. In one of them, in Počaplich (today Králův Dvůr), he died suddenly at the age of 48 on 22 September 1253 and was burried in the monastery of St. Francis in Prague, whose abbess was his beloved sister Agnieszka.
