Spytihněv I, the eldest son of Duke …
Years: 895 - 895
Spytihněv I, the eldest son of Duke Bořivoj I, the first historically documented Bohemian ruler of the Přemyslid dynasty, and his wife Ludmila, had still been a minor upon his father's death in about 889, and the Bohemian lands had been placed under the regency of their suzerain Prince Svatopluk I of Great Moravia.
After Svatopluk died in 894, an inheritance conflict had arisen between his sons Mojmír II and Svatopluk II.
Spytihněv has taken advantage of the situation to free himself from Moravian vassalage.
According to the Annales Fuldenses, he appears at the 895 Reichstag in Regensburg and pays homage to the East Frankish king Arnulf of Carinthia.
