Spytihnev I, Duke of Bohemia

Spytihnev I, Duke of Bohemia

Spytihněv I (? - 915), Duke of Bohemia (894/895 - 915), was the eldest son of Bořivoj I.

Spytihnev is known solely for his 895 alliance with Arnulf, Duke of Bavaria, (the Diet of Augsburg) separating Bohemia from Great Moravia. Designed to protect Bohemia against the ravages of Magyar raiders, this pact also opened Bohemia to East Frankish Carolingian culture and paved the way for the eventual triumph of Roman Catholicism in Czech spiritual affairs.
