Boleslaus I the Cruel also called Boleslav I (
Czech: Boleslav I. Ukrutný) (died
July 15, 967 or 972) was the prince of Bohemia from 929 or 935 to his death. His father was
Vratislaus I. Boleslav is notorious for the murder of his brother
Saint Wenceslas, through which he became prince of Bohemia. Wenceslaus was murdered during a feast, and at precisely that time was Boleslav's son born. He received a strange name:
Strachkvas, which meant "a dreadful feast". Being remorseful of what he had done, Boleslav promised to devote his son to religion and educate him as a clergyman. He kept his word.
