Years: 935 - 935
The German kingdom integrates the Bohemian state, ruled at this time by Duke Wenceslas of the Czech Przemysl dynasty.
Wenceslas’ continuation of the Christianization of Bohemia, coupled with his submission to German king Henry I, arouses strong opposition from a faction of the nobility, and leads to his assassination on September 28, 935, by his brother, who succeeds him as Prince Boleslaw.
(The date will become the annual feast day of the later canonized Wenceslas, whom the Czechs will come to regard as their patron saint.)
