Vladislaus I (Czech:Vladislav I.;c. 1065 – 12 April 1125) wasDuke of Bohemia from 1109 to 1117 and from 1120 until his death.
Vladislav I was a son ofVratislaus II of Bohemia by his second wifeSvatava,[1] a daughter ofCasimir I of Poland.[2] Together with his cousinSvatopluk, Vladislav expelled his brotherBořivoj II from Bohemia in 1107. In 1109, Svatopluk was killed during a campaign in Poland,[3] and Vladislav I succeeded him as Duke of Bohemia. Bořivoj II returned from exile with the support of PrinceBolesław III Wrymouth of Poland, but was defeated and imprisoned by Vladislav in 1110.
In spite of his victory, Vladislav I remained under Polish pressure and was forced to recognize a younger brother,Soběslav, as subordinate ruler ofMoravia inZnojmo. In 1117, Vladislav I formally abdicated in favor of Bořivoj II, but retained much of the actual power. In 1120, Bořivoj was deposed again and endowed with Znojmo,[4] while Vladislav resumed the throne, which he held until his death in 1125.
Vladislav I ruled in a difficult time with considerable success. Although he continued to acknowledge the suzerainty of theHoly Roman Empire, he weathered the interventions of Poland into Bohemian affairs, conflicts with his kinsmen in Moravia, and undertook offensive campaigns against both Poland andAustria. In 1110–11, Vladislav accompanied EmperorHenry V on hisItalian expedition, and he encouraged continued German settlement into Bohemia's border regions.
In 1115, theBenedictine monastery of Kladruby was established,[4] with Vladislav endowing the abbey with 25 manors and the lordship of Zbraslav.[4] Although by 1117, he had enlarged the abbey with six monks and six lay brethren.[4]
By his wifeRicheza of Berg (died 27 September 1125),[5] daughter of Count Henry I of Berg.[6] They had:
