Kingdom of Bohemia České království -
Königreich Böhmen
The
Kingdom of Bohemia (Czech: České království; German: Königreich Böhmen; Latin: Regnum
Bohemiae) was a country located in the region of Bohemia in Central Europe, most of whose territory is currently located in
the modern-day Czech Republic. The King was Elector of the Holy Roman Empire until its dissolution in 1806, whereupon it became
part of the Austrian Empire, and subsequently the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1867. Following the defeat of the Central Powers
in World War I, both Kingdom and Empire were dissolved and Bohemia became part of the newly formed Czechoslovak Republic. Although some former rulers of Bohemia had enjoyed a non-hereditary royal title during the 11th and 12th
century (Vratislaus II, Vladislaus II), the kingdom was formally established in 1198 by Ottokar I, who had his regality acknowledged
by Philip of Swabia, elected King of the Romans, in turn for his support against the rival Emperor Otto IV. In 1204 Ottokar's
royal dignity was accepted by Otto IV himself as well as by Pope Innocent III and afterwards definitely confirmed by the Golden
Bull of Sicily issued by Emperor Frederick II in 1212, promoting the Duchy of Bohemia to the Kingdom status. Incorporated
into the Habsburg Monarchy from 1526, it was dissolved in 1918 with the fall of Austria-Hungary, when the last Bohemian king,
Charles I of Austria, was forced out of power without abdicating. The national assembly at Prague then deposed the Habsburg
(Habsburg-Lorraine) dynasty and proclaimed the Czechoslovak Republic. Prague Castle - the ancient seat of Bohemian dukes,
kings and emperors; after 1918 office of the Czechoslovak and Czech presidents During the reign of the last Přemyslids
and the succeeding House of Luxembourg the Bohemian kingdom was the most powerful state of the Holy Roman Empire.[citation

in 1300, his son Wenceslaus III King of Hungary one year later. That time the Kingdom of Bohemia streched from Hungary till
Baltic sea. Though both crowns were lost after Wenceslaus' III assassination in 1306, the rise of Bohemia continued, when
in 1346 the heir to the Bohemian throne, Charles of Luxembourg was elected King of the Romans and crowned Holy Roman Emperor
in 1355. The issue of the 1356 Golden Bull together with the following acquisition of the Brandenburg Electorate gave the
Bohemian Kingdom two votes in the electoral college. Charles made Prague the Imperial residence and his son King Sigismund
again acquired the Hungarian crown by marriage with queen regnant Mary of Hungary in 1385. His successors - Ladislaus the
Posthumous from Habsburg dynasty, George of Podiebrad and the rulers of the Jagiellon dynasty - strengthening the status of
Bohemia as an autonomous part of the Empire. In turn King Vladislav Jagiellon was disqualified by the prince-electors from
taking part in the 1486 election of Maximilian I of Habsburg in 1486. The estrangement from the Empire continued after Vladislav
had succeeded Matthias Corvinus of Hungary in 1490 and both the Bohemian and the Hungarian kingdom were held in personal union.
Not considered an Imperial State, the Lands of the Bohemian Crown were not part of the Imperial Circles established by the
1500 Imperial Reform. Territory under the control of the Přemyslid dynasty around year 1301
Bohemia proper (Čechy) with the County of Kladsko (Hrabství
kladské) was the main area of the Kingdom of Bohemia and from 1348 Charles IV created Lands of the Bohemian Crown (Země
Koruny české), together with the incorporated provinces: - The March of Moravia (Markrabství moravské), acquired by Přemyslid and Slavník
Bohemian rulers after the 955 Battle of Lechfeld, lost in 999 to Kingdom of Poland and reconquered by Duke Bretislaus I in
1019/1029 (uncertain dating);
- Upper Lusatia (Horní
Lužice), incorporated by King John of Bohemia in 1319 (Bautzen) and 1329 (Görlitz), and Lower Lusatia (Dolní
Lužice), former Margraviate of Lusatia), acquired by John's son Charles IV from Otto V, Margrave of Brandenburg
in 1367. Ferdinand II of Habsburg lost the Lusatias to the Electorate of Saxony with the 1635 Peace of Prague;
- The Duchies of Silesia (Slezsko), acquired by the 1335 Treaty of Trentschin
between Jan Lucemburský and King Casimir III of Poland. Queen Maria Theresa lost Silesia in 1742 to King Frederick
II of Prussia by the Treaty of Breslau, with the exception of Austrian Silesia
and, at times: - The Duchy of Austria
in 1251, the Duchy of Styria in 1261, the Egerland in 1266, the Duchy of Carinthia with the March of Carniola and the Windic
March in 1269 and the March of Friuli in 1272, all acquired by King Ottokar II Přemyslid and lost to Rudolph I of Germany
in the 1278 Battle on the Marchfeld;
- The Egerland (Chebsko)
was again obtained by Wenceslaus II between 1291-1305; definitely given in pawn to Bohemia by Emperor (then King of the Romans)
Louis IV in 1322 and subsequently joined in personal union with Bohemia proper;
- The northern part of the Upper Palatinate ("New Bohemia") at Sulzbach, incorporated by Charles
IV in 1355. Charles' son Wenceslaus lost the Upper Palatinate in 1400 to the Electorate of the Palatinate under King Rupert
of Germany;
- The Brandenburg Electorate, acquired by
Charles IV from Duke Otto V of Wittelsbach in 1373. Charles' son Sigismund lost Brandenburg in 1415 to Frederick I, Elector
of Brandenburg.
After the early
death of King Louis II Jagiellon at the Battle of Mohács in 1526, the Bohemian kingdom was inherited by his brother-in-law,
the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand I of Habsburg, younger brother of Emperor Charles V, whom he succeeded in 1558. The subsequent
incorporation of Bohemia into the Habsburg Monarchy against the resistance of the local Protestant nobility sparked off the
1618 Defenestration of Prague and the Thirty Years' War. Their defeat at the Battle of White Mountain in 1620 put an end to
the Bohemian autonomy movement. With the
dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the Bohemian kingdom was incorporated into the Austrian Empire and the royal
title retained by the Emperor of Austria. In the course of the 1867 Austro-Hungarian Compromise the provinces of Bohemia,
Moravia and Austrian Silesia became k. k. crown lands of Cisleithania. The current Czech Republic consisting of Bohemia, Moravia
and Czech Silesia still uses some symbols of the Kingdom of Bohemia: a two-tailed lion in its coat-of-arms, red-white strips
in the state flag and the royal castle as the president's office. List of the Kings of Bohemia

The House of Habsburg-Lorraine The House of Habsburg or Hapsburg (also known as House of Austria) was one the most important royal houses
of Europe and is best known for being an origin of all of the formally elected Holy Roman Emperors between 1438 and 1740,
as well as rulers of the Austrian and Spanish Empires and several other countries. Originally from Switzerland, the dynasty
first reigned in Austria, which they ruled for over six centuries. A series of dynastic marriages brought Burgundy, Spain,
Bohemia, Hungary, and other territories into the inheritance. In the 16th century the family separated into the senior Habsburg
Spain and the junior Habsburg Austrian branches.
As royal houses are by convention
determined via the male line, the reigning branches of the House of Habsburg became extinct in the 18th century. The Spanish
branch ended upon the death of Charles II in 1700 and was replaced by the Anjou branch of the House of Bourbon in the person
of his great-nephew Philip V. The Austrian branch became extinct in 1780 with the death of the Empress Maria Theresa and was
replaced by the Vaudemont branch of the House of Lorraine in the person of her son Joseph II. The new successor house styled
itself as the House of Habsburg-Lorraine (German: Habsburg-Lothringen), therefore technically there is not a House of Habsburg
in the present day but only a female Habsburg line that exists in the House of Lorraine known as the House of Habsburg-Lorraine.
Titles and Styles of The Imperial
and Royal House The
members of this family bear the titles "Archduke (Archduchess) of Austria, Prince (Princess) of Hungary and Bohemia",
and the style of "Imperial and Royal Highness". Descendants of morganatic marriages, other than those granted specific
titles (e.g., the Grafen von Meran and the Princes von Altenburg and Hohenberg) generally bear the title "Graf (Gräfin)
von Habsburg-Lothringen", or at least the surname "Habsburg". Genealogy
