Ehre\/Weisheit: Clan Leader<\/h2>\n

Wenceslas<\/a> was son of Vratislaus I, Duke of Bohemia from the P\u0159emyslid dynasty. His father was raised in a Christian milieu through his own father, Borivoj I of Bohemia, who was purportedly converted by Saints Cyril and Methodius. His mother Drahom\u00edra was the daughter of a pagan tribal chief of Havolans and was baptized at the time of her marriage.<\/p>\n

In 921, when Wenceslas was thirteen, his father died and he was brought up by his grandmother, Saint Ludmila, who raised him as a Christian. A dispute between the fervently Christian regent and her daughter-in-law drove Ludmila to seek sanctuary at Tet\u00edn Castle near Beroun. Drahom\u00edra, who was trying to garner support from the nobility, was furious about losing influence on her son and arranged to have Ludmila strangled at Tet\u00edn on September 15, 921. Wenceslas is usually described as exceptionally pious and humble, and a very educated and intelligent young man.<\/p>\n

After the fall of Great Moravia, the rulers of the Bohemian duchy had to deal both with continuous raids by the Magyars and the forces of the Saxon duke and East Frankish king Henry the Fowler, who had started several eastern campaigns into the adjacent lands of the Polabian Slavs, homeland of Wenceslas\u2019s mother. To withstand Saxon overlordship Wenceslas\u2019s father Vratislaus had forged an alliance with the Bavarian duke Arnulf the Bad, then a fierce opponent of King Henry; however, it became worthless when Arnulf and Henry reconciled at Regensburg in 921.<\/p>\n

In 924 or 925 Wenceslas assumed government for himself and had Drahom\u00edra exiled. After gaining the throne at the age of eighteen, he defeated a rebellious duke of Kou\u0159im named Radslav. He also founded a rotunda consecrated to St Vitus at Prague Castle in Prague, which exists as present-day St Vitus Cathedral.<\/p>\n

Early in 929 the joint forces of Duke Arnulf of Bavaria and King Henry I the Fowler reached Prague in a sudden attack, which forced Wenceslas to resume the payment of a tribute which had been first imposed by the East Frankish king Arnulf of Carinthia in 895. Henry had been forced to pay a huge tribute to the Magyars in 926 and he therefore needed the Bohemian tribute which Wenceslas probably refused to pay any longer after the reconciliation between Arnulf and Henry. One of the possible reasons for Henry\u2019s attack was also the formation of the anti-Saxon alliance between Bohemia, the Polabian Slavs and the Magyars.<\/p>\n

Wenceslaus had met Alexander when he was traveling through Europe. Though he didn\u2019t know he was Alexander the Great, he admired and respected the man.<\/p>\n

In September 935 a group of nobles\u2014allied with Wenceslas\u2019 younger brother Boleslav\u2014plotted to kill the Duke. After Boleslav invited Wenceslas to the feast of Saints Cosmas and Damian in Star\u00e1 Boleslav, three of Boleslav\u2019s companions\u2014Tira, \u010cesta and Hn\u011bvsa\u2014murdered Wenceslas on his way to church after a quarrel between him and his brother. As he fell down, Wenceslas murmured words of forgiveness for his brother. Boleslav thus succeeded him as the Duke of Bohemia.<\/p>\n

Alexander set out his own Men to take out the assassins. While he himself Turned the young King.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
