Czech Monarchs

The modern Czech state has never been a monarchy. For all intents and purposes however, it is an indirect successor to the Kingdom of Bohemia and associated titles.

Czech Monarchs

Great Moravia

Mojmir I built Great Moravia by uniting Slavic tribes in the 9th century, especially the principalities of Moravia and Nitra. Moravia was a duchy vassalized to Louis II (a.k.a. Louis the German), king of East Francia.

By 907, much of southeastern Moravia had been conquered by the ascendant kingdom of Hungary.

Duchy of Bohemia

In the 890s, Bohemia seceded from Moravia to become a duchy vassal of Arnulf, king of East Francia.

In the 10th century the duchy became effectively sovereign, owing to the ascendant kingdom of Hungary expelling East Frankish and Byzantine influence in the region.

In 1002, Vladivoj returned Bohemia to the Holy Roman Empire under Henry II. Bretislav I conquered Moravia in the 1020s; they would become a critical crownland.

In 1085, Henry III raised Vratislaus II to king of Bohemia. Similarly, in 1147, Frederick Barbarossa raised Vladislav II to king of Bohemia. Neither title was hereditary.

Kingdom of Bohemia

After Henry VI died in 1197, a succession war for the Holy Roman Empire began between Philip and Otto IV. Ottokar initially supported Philip, and was rewarded with a hereditary title of king. By 1200 Ottokar had joined Otto IV, who agreed to recognize the kingdom. This was formalized in 1212 by Frederick II.

Bohemia was infrequently held in personal union with Hungary and Croatia, namely under Sigismund and Wenceslaus III. From this point on, Bohemia would fall into the sway of Hungarian politics. After the Ottoman conquest of Buda, both "Royal Hungary" and the kingdom of Bohemia joined the Habsburg empire.

Duchy of Upper and Lower Silesia

Margraviate of Moravia

The margraviate of Moravia was established in 1182 for the kingdom of Bohemia.

Piast

After Jaromir overthrew his brother Boleslaus III (Boleslav), Boleslaus IV installed their cousin Vladivoj as duke. Vladivoj died within the year, requiring Boleslaus IV to again intervene and restore Boleslaus III. Boleslaus III then incited further chaos by massacring the Vrsovci dynasty, who played a significant role in Jaromir's rebellion. Boleslaus IV intervened one last time, finally claiming the duchy for himself.
