Kings of Medieval Bohemia Family Tree 

Truly some beautiful pronunciations happening here :)

"Names that sound like I could have just made up and you would never know" Even when it's not his show, Jack's unique sense of humor can not be stifled

Fun fact about Ottokar II, along with all his other accomplishments he also went on a crusade against the baltic pagans in Prussia, and the Teutonic Knights named Königsberg in his honor.

The legendary founder of the Premyslid dynasty was just some dude, his wife Libuše (or Libussa) was the real deal. She was the leader of the Bohemians, who (according to the legend) bitched about being ruled by a woman, so she foretold that they would find a man working the fields, who will be their ruler.

It's interesting to see how the crowns of Bohenia, Poland, Hungary and HRE have been quite interconected along the way.

Ah, "UsefulCharts: Kingdom Come Deliverance Edition" 😄 Been waiting for this!

Hey, I'm responsible for that composer chart you mentioned at the end of the video--thanks for the shoutout! There's a lot of amazing work happening over there on the subreddit. I encourage everyone to go explore and contribute if you can!

Yay! As a Czech, I am thrilled to go through this video. Major props on actually being able to pronounce the names of the premyslid kings lol the only thing is, I think Wenceslaus III. Wasnt killed on the toilet, that was Jaromír. :)

I love these man. Even when you already know the history and the players. Its just really good to be able to visualise them in a tree.

Just a correction: Wenceslaus III never ceded Polandpp and was killed while resting in his chambers in thr city of Olomouc, where he was currently gathering an army to fight the Polish rebels.

The pronunciations (apart from "Chechia" :D) were pretty good! Also it's quite fun to see Czech history from less, let's say, biased sources. From school, you "know" that some kings were "bad guys", but this made it much more neutral. Well, you also didn't go into that many details of theer reign of course, so not everything would be mentioned, but still, this was pretty interesting!

Václav III was NOT assasinated on toilet, but in his bedroom. On toilet that was one of his ancestors - Jaromír - who was speared.

Now I want to see you cover the Ostrogoth family tree

"Modern Day Chechia" Czechs: What did he just call me

That intro drum and woodwind piece always gets my head banging. It just hits right.

14:40 Me: Oh he founded Monte Carlo?? Wow *Jack explains it isn't the one in Monaco* Me: "my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined"

Been waiting awhile for this one, definitely worth the wait

Did he pronounce it "che chi a" instead of "che ki a"?

10:54 This king is where we'll get Königsberg (the former German name for Kaliningrad) and its Czech name Kralovec.

But can this chart tell me how Charles the 4th, King of Bohemia, and Holy Roman Emperor had a long and successful reign? And how his empire he ruled from Prague expanded?

Přemyslid Family!! Awesome! Thanks for doing this!

A little tidbit info - the image of Vratislaus (Vratislav II.), the first king of Bohemia, is taken from the Rotunda of St. Catherine in Znojmo. The rotunda was build in the second half of 11th century and in 1134 the inner walls were decorated with fresques showing christian themes (the dove, the four evangelists, four cherubs, and the whole thing with Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ) as well as the myth of Přemysl The Ploughman and mythical Přemyslid rulers. During the tourist season, it's possible to go inside and see the fresques, it's pretty awesome :)

Love to see others doing stuff about my country

The pronounciation of Czechia is more like Czekhia. If you have problems, use Bohemia as on medieval sigils of those kings (Rex Bohemorum).

What an amazing work!!!

Whenever I see the name Wencaslas I think of good king Wencaslas good to know the carol has historical roots

Nice! I'm glad you did this one!

Díky, chlape!

I saw this, mostly to see the origin of Dagmar, queen in Denmark, the first wife of Valdemar 2nd the Victorious. I am a little disappointed, that she was not mentioned. I think she was the daughter of Ottokar 1st. She died in 1212, and her only son, born in 1209, died in 1232 due to an accident during a hunt. Therefore Valdemar 2nd the Victorious was succeeded by his three sons with his second wife queen Berengaria, who was of Portuguese origin.

I never knew how amazing my Czech and Bohemian lineage was.

What an amazing narrating voice you have, Mr. Rackham

Your pronunciation of names is effortless and on point 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

I have been waiting for this 👑

Poland and Hungary videos were made, at last the Bohemian one is as well!

That was very interesting. Love the history of lesser known kingdoms. Please do Georgia 🇬🇪

Great video! much love from Belgium 🇧🇪

As a Czech person myself I'm glad to see someone talking about our history. And very accurately on top of that😊

UsefulCharts, can you please make a video on Cambodia's royal family tree. Thank you very much.

Yey Czech Kings! (Yes, it's the same, at least in Czech, Polish and some other languages. Meanwhile English and some other languages complicated things by deriving their traditional names for this land from a fancy Latin term, which in turn was derived from the Celtic Boii tribe and disassociating it from its west Slavic majority ethnic group. It's complicated). Also, speaking about the Good King Wenceslas, everybody go watch the video about the origins of the Carol at M. Laser channel, because it's awesome.

Mathias Corvinus never got to Prague. He was encircled in the forests of Vilemov and forced to return to Morava/Hungary. But that was in the time of Jiří of Podebrady.

I study musicology and just sent a link to the composer "family tree" into the group chat of my fellow students, maybe it'll help someone in the next semester, it sure as hell is interesting! thank you so much

love your work keep it up

I'm Czech and I was waiting for this! So excited to watch this video! EDIT: 30 seconds in and I begging you - Czechia is cz-kee-ah. Or just say Czech republic. No one is using Czechia anyways :)

i think it would be really cool if you would combine the east and west charts:)

In 1247. Přemysl Otakar II. was only 14 years old and definitively didn´t make a try to become Emperor. All that came only after 1270.

Nice to see Sigismund being portrayed in more positive light than one usually see in Czech sources!

17:49 dat face When jack narrates i half expect the video to end abruptly after he says so-and-so died.

Beautiful pronunciation sir!!! Will you do Bavarian empire and Basque empire?

Drahomíra didn't revert land to paganism. Don't take medieval chronicles written centuries later too seriously.

Tbh, after this video i feel quite hungry Btw will you do a video about the Romanian royals.

Awesome video

Finally I found a video which makes my Czech heart melt haha

If my memory serves me well, duke Vaclav was murdered at age 29. Not by his brother Boleslav, but by hired murderers. However, it is claimed that they were hired by Boleslav. Here we have to pause and think about how the history has been portrayed. This was the time of conversion from pagan religion to Christianity and after the win of the latter, events were described with its bias. To promote Christianity, sainthood was not only given to Vaclav, but also to his mother Ludmila, promoters of Christianity, who opposed Boleslav and his pagan wife Dubrava (Dubravka? She came from a Slavic people near Misen (German Meissen), who were later overwhelmed and assimilated by Germans.

Wow, I sure love being a citizen of Czeczia!

Very Interesting!

Very nice video, great work!!!! Only thing is the wife of Jan of Luxemburg (blind king) was not Elizabeth, but Eliška (i think Ellis in english) :)

Borivoj's daughter called Orosia was a princess who was called to marry the Visigothic king of Spain Fortun Garcés but on her way through the Pyrenees she was captured by the Islamists and was beheaded, she is attributed great miracles and is the patron saint of the city from Jaca

Finally! :-) Mike, Prague

This remind me those times in history class at elementary school :D Very good job with this video

Good job on those pronunciations!

Oh wow, great video, even the pronounciation was great

18:10 Start of the Matrilineal House of Barbara :'3 Also Albert appears in lots of family trees multiple times for some reason

im sorry if its already somewhere on your channel but do you also have video about european celts? such as bohems that our bohemia actually got a name from?

This was great

My paternal grandfather's family was from Bohemia,.

Nice 😃

Correction: Borivoj I was a poor boy from a poor family.

Hey, UsefulCharts has come to see us!

respect for the accent :D its very good

Any kingdom come: deliverance players get excited at the Sigismund and Wenceslaus portion? Lol

Finally.... 🤩🤩🤩

Have been playing Crusader Kings 3 as King Vratislaus and it‘s so interesting to see how history repeated itself, this game is so accurate

Thank you for the video, although I have Czech-Slovak origin, but by nationality and citizenship I am a citizen of the Czech Republic, I am a Czech monarchist and therefore I am close to this topic. Did you know that the descendants of the Přemyslid Czech princely and royal family still live after the horsetail? They are not only members of the European royal families but also members of the Czech, Moravian and Silesian nobility in the Czech Republic. However, the titular Czech King, the Margrave of Moravia and the Duke of Silesia is the head of the Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty, Charles of Habsburg-Lorraine, and his son Ferdinand Zvonimír Habsburg-Lorraine. Frankly, the Czech prince, said St. Wenceslas, is still a symbol of Czech statehood, is the patron saint of the Czech coronation jewels, and was used as a symbol by the German Nazis in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Among the descendants of the Přemyslid dynasty are, for example, Tomáš Count Czernin, who is the vice-president of the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, or another descendant of the Přemyslids is Charles VII. The Prince of Schwarzenberg, who was the Chancellor of President Václav Havel, was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic and is still a member of the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic. In 2013, he ran for President of the Czech Republic. The horsemen of the Přemyslids after the horsetail thus serve and still live in the Czech Republic but also elsewhere, according to Czech genealogists, the descendants of the Přemyslid princes and kings are also several presidents of the USA.

House of Flanders and Brabant when 😭

10:25 Wait for it... THE MONGOLS! *We're the exception!*

17:51 that begs the question, what’s your favorite of all time?

I want to learn more about kingdom come deliverance lore lol

I wonder if they did this video, beacause of the AoE 2 Dawn of the Dukes expansion.

Strachkvas is my favourite, in terms of funny, Slavic name. This literally means "fear acid" in Polish

Bohemia? Cool

Also, the names used are bastardized in English. Don´t know, where they got that -os/us, but the right spelling is Spytihn(y)ev, Vaclav (first a long, as in bastard), Boleslav etc.

The picture of "the oldest university in the Middle Europe" you used is in fact Rudolfinum, something like Albert Hall in London being used in the same fashion.

I wonder if Boleslass had a Shakesperian spectre at the feast

Now that's surprising.

Great Video! I really Hope that you Will make Who Will be the king of ___ today? , With Czechia

Just noticed at 9:00 the typo "Mosovia". Actually, it should be Konard of Masovia

But did he go out on the Feast of Stephen? And was the snow laying round about? Deep and crisp and even?

Anyone else nerding out over KCD?

Useful Charts Do BULGARIAN MONARCHIES NEXT pls

Page 225 It was founded in 1265 on the confluence of the Vlatava and Malse rivers, by charter of King Premysl Ottokar II.

Jack Rackam is such a funny name. Every time he says it at the beginning I throw my head back and laugh and hoot and holler

5:12 Duke of Poland. Władysław was just a duke.

Can you pls make a video about Mohg's Dynasty?

1:20 map 2:00 Good King Wenceslas’s mother killed her mother in law (//why?) and reverted the lands to paganism after the death of her husband;; killed at age 24 by his brother who named his son, who would be raised as a clergyman, a name meaning “dreadful feast” bc he was born in the same day of the feast he killed his brother at
