=== Life Sketch ===
Wikipedia: „Sie war die Ehefrau von Vratislav I. und Mutter des Heiligen Wenzel. 921 übernahm sie für etwa vier bis fünf Jahre die Regentschaft des Přemysliden-Fürstentums in Mittelböhmen. Bekannt wurde Drahomíra als Urheberin des Attentats auf ihre Schwiegermutter, die später heiliggesprochene Ludmilla von Böhmen.
Drahomíra stammte aus dem westslawischen Stamm der Heveller oder Stodoranen. Sie war wahrscheinlich Schwester oder Tante des Hevellerfürsten Tugumir. 906/907 heira-tete sie den böhmischen Herzog Vratislav I.[1] Sie brachte sechs oder sieben Kinder zur Welt. Ihre Söhne waren Wenzel und Boleslav, eine der Wenzelslegenden erwähnt auch einen dritten Sohn namens Spitihněv. Hier handelt es sich aber möglicherweise um eine Verwechslung, denn Spytihněv I. war ein Sohn Ludmillas und Drahomíras Schwager. Von ihren vier Töchtern ist nur Přibislava namentlich bekannt. Sie war nach Wenzels Tod Nonne in Prag.
Nach dem Tod Vratislavs im Frühjahr 921 übertrug ihr die Stammesversammlung die Regentschaft für ihren minderjährigen Sohn Wenzel. Die Erziehung des Thronfolgers und des jüngeren Boleslav sollte jedoch deren Großmutter Ludmilla übernehmen. Bald kam es zu einem Konflikt zwischen den beiden Frauen. Wenzel sei von Ludmilla und den christlichen Geistlichen verdorben worden, beschwerte sich Drahomira bei den böhmischen Großen. Er solle zu einem Fürsten erzogen werden und gliche stattdessen immer mehr einem Mönch. Sie beauftragte zwei Krieger aus ihrer Gefolgschaft namens Tunna und Gommon, ihre Schwiegermutter zu ermorden. Am 16. September 921 dran-gen diese in die Burg Tetín ein und erwürgten Ludmilla mit einem Strick. Anschlie-ßend verfügte Drahomíra die Vertreibung bayerischer Missionare aus dem Land.
Die Hintergründe für den Mord werden im politischen und im religiösen Bereich ge-sucht. Möglicherweise ging es um die Anerkennung der Oberhoheit des ostfränkischen Königs Heinrichs I. über Böhmen. Das Land hatte sich seit 895 mit Bayern verbündet, um Schutz vor den Sachsen zu suchen. Der bayerische Herzog Arnulf hatte sich jedoch 921 Heinrich I. unterworfen und fiel deswegen als Verbündeter gegen die sächsische Expansion aus. Ludmilla soll eine Annäherung an Sachsen befürwortet, Drahomíra diese abgelehnt haben. Eine Rolle soll im Zuge der beginnenden Christianisierung auch die Auseinandersetzung zwischen Heidentum, vertreten durch Drahomíra, und Christentum, vertreten durch Ludmilla, gespielt haben. Die Angabe, dass Drahomíra Heidin gewesen sei, findet sich in einigen Legenden, die als einzige historische Quel-len für die Ereignisse des Jahres 921 in Böhmen zur Verfügung stehen. Die neuere Forschung zweifelt diese Information an und hält sie für einen hagiographischen To-pos.
Ein Jahr später überfiel der bayerische Herzog Arnulf Böhmen, das Ergebnis dieses Feldzuges überliefern die Quellen aber nicht. Fest steht, dass Drahomíra irgendwann zwischen 922 und 925 die Regentschaft abgeben musste, da Wenzel inzwischen voll-jährig und regierungsfähig geworden war. Dieser ließ zunächst seine Mutter aus Böh-men vertreiben, holte sie jedoch 925 in allen Ehren wieder zurück. Sie lebte in Prag, hatte jedoch keine politische Macht mehr. Nach der Ermordung von Wenzel (929 oder 935) flüchtete sie zu den Charvaten.“

Bohemian princess
Drahomíra the Arrogant (died after 935) was a Bohemian princess, wife of Vratislav I.
Drahomíra's homeland was around Brandeburg, a castle near present-day Berlin. She was princess of Havolans.
She married Vratislav I of Bohemia and gave birth to at least three children: Saint Wenceslas, Boleslaus I and Strezislava. She led her husband to cooperation with her vernaculars, which waged war against Saschen. After her husband's untimely death (921), she and her mother-in-law, Saint Ludmila, divided government above Bohemia. Legends present Ludmila as a tame, pious grandmother, but she was likely much more energetic. Finally, Ludmila runned on Tetín castle, where Drahomíra's slayers, Tunna and Gommmon, murdered her.
When her son, Wenceslas, came to power, he sent his mother into exile in Budec. He later called her back. Wenceslas was one of the apples of discord between them. Drahomíra had raised her younger son, Boleslaus, whereas Ludmila did the same for her eldest grandchild, Wenceslas

Note: Drahomíra of Stodor (Czech: Drahomíra ze Stodor; c. 877 or 890 – died after 934 or 936) was Duchess consort of Bohemia from 915 to 921, wife of the Přemyslid duke Vratislaus I. She also acted as regent of the Duchy of Bohemia from 921 to 924 during the minority of her son Wenceslaus. She is chiefly known for the murder of her mother-in-law Ludmila of Bohemia by hired assassins. Her name pronounced as "druh-haw-mee-ruh."
Life
Drahomíra was born in the present-day Havelland region centered around the fortress of Brandenburg (Brennabor), the daughter of a Hevelli (Stodoran) prince. According to Cosmas of Prague, she married Duke Vratislav I of Bohemia about 906. Drahomíra gave birth to at least six children: her sons were Wenceslaus and Boleslaus, who both succeeded their father as Bohemian dukes. Among her four daughters were one Přibislava, who became a nun at the Prague St. George's Convent, and possibly Střezislava, the wife of the Bohemian nobleman Slavník, founder of the Slavník dynasty. The marriage led the Přemyslid dynasty to cooperation with the Polabian Slavs and brought Bohemia in conflict with the Saxon duke Henry the Fowler, who became German king in 919 and later waged war against the Hevelli tribes.
After her husband's untimely death in 921, the Bohemian nobles designated Drahomíra regent for her minor son Wenceslaus. However, she had to divide the government of Bohemia with her mother-in-law Ludmila, widow of Duke Bořivoj I, who took over the religious education of her sons. Popular history depicts Ludmila as a restrained and pious grandmother, but it is likely that the political demands of government called for more energy and worldliness than history records.
Wenceslaus was one of the main reasons for the eventually fatal discord between Drahomíra and Ludmila, who had exerted great influence over Drahomíra's eldest son, leaving Drahomíra to concentrate her efforts on her younger son, Boleslaus. Despite or perhaps as a result of her political and personal efforts, Ludmila attracted Drahomíra's bitter enmity. She alleged that her mother-in-law, with the help of Bavarian missionaries, educated Wenceslaus to become a monk rather than a prince. Moreover, the two women may have disagreed whether to recognise the East Frankish supremacy of Henry the Fowler. Ludmila fled from Prague to Tetín Castle on the road to Regensburg, where on 16 September 921 Drahomíra's henchmen, Tunna and Gommon, attacked and strangled her.
The next year the troops of Duke Arnulf of Bavaria raided the Bohemian duchy. When Drahomíra's son Wenceslaus came of age about 922, he sent his mother into exile, though he called her back in 925. She spent her later years in Prague, however, upon the murder of her son (in 929 or 935) she fled from the court.
In culture
She is the subject of two operas, Drahomíra by František Škroup (1848), and Drahomíra by Karel Šebor (1867).
