Wikipedia
Bretislav I (Czech: Břetislav I.; 1002/1005 – 10 January 1055), known as the "Bohemian Achilles", of the Přemyslid dynasty, was Duke of Bohemia from 1034 until his death.
Youth
Bretislav was the son of Duke Oldřich[1] and his low-born concubine Božena. As an illegitimate son who could not obtain a desirable wife by conventional means, he chose to kidnap Judith of Schweinfurt, a daughter of the Bavarian noble Henry of Schweinfurt, Margrave of Nordgau, in 1019 at Schweinfurt, and marry her.[citation needed]
During his father's reign, in 1019 or 1029,[a] Bretislav took back Moravia from Poland. About 1031, he invaded Hungary in order to prevent its expansion under king Stephen. The partition of Bohemia between Oldřich and his brother Jaromír in 1034 was probably the reason why Bretislav fled beyond the Bohemian border, only to come back to take the throne after Jaromír's abdication.
Raid into Poland
In 1035, Bretislav helped Holy Roman Emperor Conrad II in his war against the Lusatians. In 1039, he invaded Lesser and Greater Poland,[2] captured Poznań,[2] sacked Gniezno, and brought the relics of St. Adalbert,[2] Radim Gaudentius and the Five Brothers back with him. On the way back, he regained part of Silesia, including Wrocław.[2] His main goal was to set up an archbishopric in Prague and create a large state subject only to the Holy Roman Empire. His raid had an unintended enduring influence on Polish history, as the plundering and destruction of Gniezno pushed the next Polish rulers to move their capital to Kraków, which would retain this role for many centuries ahead.
In 1040, the German King Henry III invaded Bohemia, but was forced to retreat after he lost the Battle at Brůdek (a pass in the Bohemian Forest).[3] The following year, Henry III invaded again, skirted the border defences and laid siege to Bretislav in Prague. Forced by a mutiny among his nobles and betrayed by Bishop Šebíř of Prague, Bretislav had to renounce all of his conquests save for Moravia and recognize Henry III as his sovereign.[1] In 1042, Emperor Henry III granted Bretislav Silesia as a lien.
In 1047, Emperor Henry III negotiated a peace treaty between Bretislav and the Poles. This pact worked in Bretislav's favour, as the Polish ruler swore never again to attack Bohemia in return for an annual subsidy to Gniezno.
Domestic policy
Bretislav was the author of decrees concerning the rules of Christianization, which included a ban on polygamy and trade on holidays.
It was in 1030 that Bretislav married the afore-mentioned Judith. In 1054, he established rules for the ducal succession and introduced agnatic seniority as the law of succession.[4] Younger members of the dynasty were supposed to govern fiefs (technically, parts of Moravia), but only at the duke's discretion. The result of this succession policy was the relative indivisibility of the Czech lands, but also bitter conflicts over succession and territorial primacy between members of the dynasty. It was effectively ended by the elevation of Bohemia to the status of a kingdom under Ottokar I of Bohemia, which led to the establishment of primogeniture as the ruling principle for succession rights.
Bretislav's eldest son Spytihněv was to succeed him as Duke of Bohemia with control over it domains. Moravia was incorporated into the Bohemian duchy, but divided among three of his younger sons. The Olomouc Appanage went to Vratislaus; the Znojmo Appanage went to Conrad I; and the Brno Appanage went to Otto I. The youngest son, Jaromír, entered the church and became Bishop of Prague.
Bretislav died at Chrudim in 1055 during preparations for another invasion of Hungary and was succeeded by his son Spytihněv II as Duke of Bohemia.[5] His sons Otto and Vratislav were shut out of the government by Spytihněv, but after his death both gained control of Moravia and Bohemia, respectively.
Family
Bretislav kidnapping his future wife Judith of Schweinfurt from a monastery, from the Chronicle of Dalimil
Bretislav married Judith, the daughter of Margrave Henry of Schweinfurt. The House of Přemysl wished to confirm its good relationship with the Babenbergs through a marriage to Judith in 1020. Judith was a desirable bride, but Oldřich of Bohemia had only one son, Bretislav, and he was of illegitimate birth, thus complicating the prospect of a marriage with the high-born Judith. Bretislav solved the problem by kidnapping Judith from a monastery in Schweinfurt.[6] He was never punished for this crime, and he married Judith some time later. Their first son Spytihněv was born after almost ten years, which led to the hypothesis that the kidnapping happened in 1029, although Judith may have given birth to daughters before her first son. In all, there were five sons from the marriage that survived into adulthood:
Spytihněv II, Duke of Bohemia[4]
Vratislaus II of Bohemia
Conrad I, Duke of Bohemia
Otto I of Olomouc
Jaromír, Bishop of Prague.
Legacy
Bretislav I was buried in the old St. Vitus Church in Prague, founded by Wenceslaus I in 930, and his tomb is now situated in the Chapel of St. Wenceslaus in the St. Vitus Cathedral built in the period 1344–66. Bretislav I was depicted in the fresco composition of the Přemyslid dynasty at the Znojmo Rotunda, painted in the period 1134–61.

Бржети́слав I (чеш. Břetislav) (родился между 1002 и 1005 — 10 января 1055) — чешский князь (1034—1055) из династии Пржемысловичей. Сын чешского князя Олдржиха (Удальриха).
Биография
Бржетислав I вёл активную внешнюю политику, воевал против Польши и Венгрии. Ещё при правлении своего отца получил Западную Моравию (1029). В походе 1030 года на Венгрию германского императора поддерживали чешские войска под предводительством Бржетислава. В 1035 году Бржетислав помог императору Конраду II в его войне против лютичей.
Пользуясь беспорядками в Польше после смерти Мешко II и сменой власти в Германии, чтобы напасть на Польшу, Бржетислав двинулся туда с войском и захватил Познань, разграбил Краков и Гнезно. Многие поляки были уведены в плен. На обратном пути он завоевал часть Силезии включая Вроцлав. Навстречу армии германского короля Генриха III, которая должна была покарать за этот набег, Бржетислав послал в качестве заложника своего сына с обещанием самому прибыть для принесения присяги. Германский король Генрих III, опасавшийся усиления Бржетислава, начал войну против нарушившего слово князя. Вторгшись в 1040 году в Богемию двумя армиями, он был вынужден отступить после поражения в Богемском лесу, так как Бржетислав получил подкрепление от венгров. В 1041 году Генрих III ещё раз тремя армиями, с севера, запада и юга, выступил против Богемии. Когда войска встали под Прагой, Бржетислав был вынужден покориться, не получив поддержки от чешской знати. 15 октября 1041 года в покаянных одеждах он принёс присягу на верность на имперском сейме в Регенсбурге, заплатил штраф в 4000 марок золотом и был пожалован в качестве ленов Богемией и двумя польскими областями — вероятно, частью Силезии с Бреслау. Впредь он на всю жизнь сохранил верность Генриху III, часто бывал при дворе и поддерживал его военные мероприятия. С этого времени Чехия вошла в состав Священной Римской империи.
Уже в 1042 году Бржетислав участвовал в походе Генриха III в Венгрию против Абу Шамуэля. Поход закончился не очень успешно. В 1044 году Бржетислав вновь участвует в походе германского короля в Венгрию. На этот раз Аба Шамуэль был разбит наголову, посажен в тюрьму и затем казнён.
В Польше укрепил свою власть Казимир I, претензии которого на Силезию германский император вначале отклонил. Но поскольку Казимир, как свойственник Ярослава Мудрого и короля Андрея Венгерского был в состоянии добиться её силой, император в 1054 году приказал князю Бржетиславу возвратить Казимиру Бреслау и другие города Силезии за 500 марок серебром и 30 марок золотом ежегодной дани, чтобы установить между странами длительный мир.
Гробница Бржетислава I
В 1054 году Бржетислав I издал закон, по которому Богемия должна была оставаться впредь неделимым княжеством: старейший в роде должен вступать преемственно на престол, а прочие князья — быть наделяемыми уделами в Моравии (Lex Brzetislawii). Этот закон о престолонаследии, дававший повод к частым спорам, просуществовал до 1216 года, когда король Пржемысл Оттокар I ввёл закон о наследовании старшим сыном.
В 1055 году Бржетислав умер в Хрудиме во время подготовки к вторжению в Венгрию. После смерти Бржетислава его старшему сыну Спитигневу императором была пожалована в лен Бавария.
Брак и дети
Бржетислав похищает Юдифь
Бржетислав женился на сестре маркграфа Швейнфурта Оттона Белого Юдифи (ум. 1058). Девушка была похищена Бржетиславом из баварского монастыря, стоящего на реке Майн.
