Years: 1101 - 1101

Borivoj II, the younger half-brother and successor of Bretislaus II, is opposed in the succession by Duke Oldrich of Brno, his cousin, who had recovered the stronghold originally confiscated from his father.

A civil war ensues.

Oldrich intends to recognize the suzerainty of Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor, and thereby gain his support, but Borivoj has already been confirmed by the emperor.

Oldrich is eventually forced to flee to Moravia.
