Misc. Notes
Drahomíra the Arrogant (died after 935) was a Bohemian princess, wife of Vratislav I.
Drahomíra's homeland was around Brandeburg, a castle near present-day Berlin. She was princess of Havolans.
She married Vratislav I of Bohemia and gave birth to at least three children: Saint Wenceslas, Boleslaus I and St?ezislava. She led her husband to cooperation with her vernaculars, which waged war against Saschen. After her husband's untimely death (921), she and her mother-in-law, Saint Ludmila, divided government above Bohemia. Legends present Ludmila as a tame, pious grandmother, but she was likely much more energetic. Finally, Ludmila fled to Tetín castle, where Drahomíra's hired assassins, Tunna and Gommmon, murdered her.
Drahomíra had raised her younger son, Boleslaus, whereas Ludmila had raised her eldest grandchild, Wenceslas.When her son, Wenceslas, came to power, he sent his mother into exile in Budec. He later called her back.
