Packet 2: Bonus 12
The Old Czech Chronicle of Dalimil depicts this person sitting on a throne and hiring assassins to kill her mother-in-law. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this 10th-century Bohemian duchess who orchestrated Ludmila’s murder. Cosmas of Prague claimed this woman from the pagan Lutici (“loo-TIT-see”) confederation was “harder than stone towards the faith.”
ANSWER: Drahomíra [accept Dragomir or Dragomira]
[10e] Drahomíra is portrayed more positively in the First Old Church Slavic Legend, which admonishes this son of hers for not honoring her. This duke’s generosity is praised in a Christmas carol that calls him a king.
ANSWER: Wenceslaus I [or Václav (“VAHT-slaff”) I the Good; accept “Good King Wenceslas”]
[10m] Drahomíra’s marriage to Vratislav I brought her into this dynasty. The Kingdom of Germany later warred with the Polabian Slavs, who had become more aligned with this dynasty that ruled early medieval Bohemia.
ANSWER: Přemyslid dynasty [or Přemyslovci (“pur-ZHEH-miss-lof-tsee”)]
