Biagota

Biagota

Biagota was probably the wife of duke Boleslaus I of Bohemia.

Michal Lutovský writes in hist book "Bratrovrah a tvůrce státu" (Fratricide and country-maker) that only a few coins predicate about existence of Biagota.

This coins are considered as the eldest type of Přemyslid denars and we can read on them: BIAGOTACOIIIIX or BIAGOTACOVIIX. This words mean BIAGOTA CONIVNX: "wife Biagota". Possibly these coins was incused on the occasion of marriage, but there are no proofs for it.

It is not even sure that Biagota was mother of all four adult children of Boleslaus I. (Dobrawa, Boleslaus II of Bohemia, Strachkvas and Mlada of Bohemia). Her origin is not cleared up. She could originate from one of German states of Holy Roman Empire or from slavic country (Blahota or Bjegota was old bulgarian name). Both hypotheses could be right, corresponding to the contemporary practice of european rulers.
