Bohemia was a kingdom part of the HRE. Its capital is Prague. The history of Bohemia started to diverge when the Mongols didn't harass the country 1241/42. Because of accumulated little changes, Vladislav, older brother of Otakar Przemysl, did not die in 1247, but would have a son in 1251 and became king in 1253. Otakar insisted however, that the Przemyslid lands were split and he'd become duke of Moravia. Vladislav also inherited Austria, where the last Babenberger duke had been defeated and killed by Bela IV of Hungary. And 1254, he'd gain upper Styria, when he divided the land with Hungary. One year later, he died however, and Otakar became regent for his nephew Wenzel / Vaclav II.

  • Bohemia was a kingdom part of the HRE. Its capital is Prague. The history of Bohemia started to diverge when the Mongols didn't harass the country 1241/42. Because of accumulated little changes, Vladislav, older brother of Otakar Przemysl, did not die in 1247, but would have a son in 1251 and became king in 1253. Otakar insisted however, that the Przemyslid lands were split and he'd become duke of Moravia. Vladislav also inherited Austria, where the last Babenberger duke had been defeated and killed by Bela IV of Hungary. And 1254, he'd gain upper Styria, when he divided the land with Hungary. One year later, he died however, and Otakar became regent for his nephew Wenzel / Vaclav II. Otakar tried to improve the situation, waged war against Hungary, but was defeated; all of Styria fell to Hungary. In the next few years, he had to suppress Bohemian and Austrian nobles discontent with his rule. He became a bit more humble and pragmatic in the future, looked for new allies, made peace with the Bavarian dukes and married Sophie of Wittelsbach. After he was elected Roman king Ottokar I in 1273, he attacked Hungary again in 1275 and took Styria back. After his death in 1286, the Przemyslids lost influence again however. Bohemia and Moravia participated in the war against Poland 1301-08, in which they acquired Silesia south of the Oder. 1336, an intrafamilial contract was made by the Przemyslids: King Otakar I of Bohemia got Moravia and all of Silesia, while Wenzel II of Carinthia acquired Austria and Styria. He now governed all the German-speaking lands. Note that despite of their Czech name, the family of the Przemyslids was already more German than Czech, due to cultural influence and marriages with Germans. In 1379, Vaclav III, who was the last of the Bohemian Przemyslids, died. The duke of Austria and Carinthia Heinrich II inherited Bohemia, Moravia and (parts of) Silesia, which made him the mightiest prince of the Holy Roman Empire by far.
