King Vratislaus of Bohemia II

  General Notes:

the first King of Bohemia from 15 June 1085. The royal title was a grant, however, from the Holy Roman Emperor and was not hereditary. Before being raised to kingship, he had ruled Bohemia as duke since 1061. He was one of the greatest of medieval Bohemian rulers.

On his father's death in 1055, Vratislaus became duke of Olomouc. He fell out with his brother Spytihnev II and was exiled to Hungary. Vratislaus regained his Moravian ducal throne with Hungarian assistance and eventually reconciled with his brother and succeed him as duke of Bohemia.

Vratislaus married Adelaide of Hungary, daughter of King András of Hungary the White and Anastasia OF KIEV. (Adelaide of Hungary was born circa 1045 and died on 27 Jan 1062.)

Vratislaus next married Swietoslawa of Poland, daughter of King Casimir Piast of Poland and Maria Dobroniega of Kiev. (Swietoslawa of Poland was born circa 1046 and died on 1 Sep 1126.)
