Individual Details
(Abt 842 - Abt 894)
He was the first historically-documented Duke of Bohemia (c. 870–c. 889) and founder of the Přemyslid dynasty. As the head of the Přemyslids who dominated the environs of present-day Prague, Bořivoj declared himself kníže - in Latin dux, which means sovereign prince - around the year 870 A.D. His title was later translated by German scholars as "duke" of the Bohemians (Czechs). Although the German dukes of the era held the same title, the meaning of his title was in fact completely different. In contrast to the German dukes, the Czech dux denoted a sovereign ruler.
