The Two First Rulers of this dynasty, was Count Vitislav the Craven 867-889 AD, and King Bozipor the Impaler 889-945 AD.


Count Vitislav the Craven 867 - 30 December 899 AD

A lazy and cowardly, yet content young man, a shaman priest of Czech stock. His lack of dedication, created a drive in his firstborn son, for a very different kind of dedication. Content did never mean temperate, this story strongly suggests.

The Very First Years of a Craven Shaman Scholar Count 867-872
10 of January 867, he married Vera, a local girl. The small county, as part of the High Chiefdom of Bohemia was developing slowly, as a backwaters region high up in the mountains north towards the border to Poland. The county was generally a vast swath of forest rolling northwards into foothills and a mountain range, a river splitting the county to a Western and Eastern Half.
A deep meaningful friendship evolved with Svietoslav, starting 3 of May 870.

Fellow Vassal Count Hostivit rising to power
11 February, 872, Count Vitislav joined Count Hostivít's of Pilsen in a war of subjugation against High Chief Radomil of Milcenia and Lusetia, ending 13 June 873 in victory for now High Chief Hostivit.
Vitislavs very first child and heir, Božepor, a beautiful boy, was born to my wife, Věra 22 September, 872. His early years of insecurity with an angry mother and insecure and spiritual noble father in the middle of a traumatic war, colored a young mind, carving it up for future outcomes.
As prisoners of war, was Alžběta ze Słupska 4 March, 873 and Bjarnat and Walenty (Count of Sommerfeld and Count of Wolkenstein respectively) 4 June, 873

New Kingdom of Sorbia 874-881
King Hostivit of the Przemyslid was enthroned as king, by 874 31 August, when Kingdom of Sorbia was established, further expanded by 878 9 August, Kingdom of Bohemia was established.
This huge realm encompassed Dessau in Northwest to Olomouc in Southeast, from Southeast Germany to Northwestern Hungary in reach, as a long snake of land.
878 Kingdom of Bohemia was established, now the Dual Kingdom of Sorbia and Bohemia.
This was a more innocent time, as Vitislav rolled around in the hay with Věra 8 February, 879, became friends with Count František of Milcenia 15 September, 879

Two more sons, Vitislav, 15 November, 879 and Ondřej 9 February, 881 was was born to his wife, Věra.

Death of King Hostivit, and King Neclan Era begins. 881-889

All by a sudden, King Hostivit dies 12 December 881, due to old age, age 61.

The Olomouc Border War and Pilgrimage to Novgorod

Under a regency that lasted from 881 to 892, King Neclan conquered County of Olomouc from the Kingdom of Great Moravia 12 December 882-13 August 885

Pilgrimage to Novgorod 883-884
Personally, Vitislav experienced the pain of losing my best friend Svietoslav who died of Pneumonia 11 June, 883 and succesively traveled to Novgorod for his very first pilgrimage 1 November, 883. Here he met the Rurikid dynasty, and helped arrange the betrothtal of Feodosia Rurikid to the infant King, Neklan I, age 10.
On return from the pilgrimage a son, Vok, was born Věra 24 June, 884.

Duchy of Austria Holy War against High Chiefdom of Bohemia 885-886 (Under Regency of Infant Neklan)

Count Vitislav came to High Chief Neklan's defense against Duke Wilhelm I's attempted holy war of High Chiefdom of Bohemia 11 August, 885 - 13 October 886.
Vitislav was massively rewarded in gold and high honors, but his personal behavior in the war, hiding in his village, gave him the moniker craven.

Dobravas Dethronement War against High Chief Neklan 887-888 (Under Regency of Infant Neklan)
Vitislav came to King Neklan's defense against Dobrava's dethronement war (25 July 887 13 October 888). by 13 August, 887
Vitislav became friends with King Neklan of Bohemia 13 August, 887. His disaffected son, Bozipor got ignored, and fell to the feelings of scorn towards the Przmezlids, that did not reward his father, whatever wars, religious services, placating and complementing the royal dynasty, with no rewards in sight. Bozipor took note.

Vitislavs friend, Count František of Milcenia, died from his wounds. 28 January, 888 and Vitislav the Craven himself, died 30 December 889 from a severe illness that drove him mad, as his lungs imploded with a deadly pneumonia. Bozipor, raised by his mother Vera, a mothers boy, the court of Hradec finally acknowledged Bozipor as a full-grown man already 23 September, 888.
Bozipors only friend from 8 May, 881, was Henik, which was the high priest, shaman, physician, that raised Bozipor with his mother, and took part in his travels to tournaments, and hunts, with misdirected loyalty to Bozipor, this compassionate, brave and chaste intellectual, helped Bozipor develop poisionous concoctions for his assassinations, and in a way groomed young count Bozipor to become a very effective multinational killer.

Bozepor The Impaler, Rising from Count via Duke to Dual King of Bohemia and Poland and Destroyer of the Kingdom of Sorbia.

A content man, but with a sadistic and cynical disposition, and according to some of his contemporaries, a "balanced man", that somehow earned the moniker "the Impaler", as his version of balanced was different from his peers.

The Quiet Years 890-899
King Neklan finally came of age June 892, and married Feodosia Rurikoid.
He early became friends with Bożydar of Dessau, 4 June, 893 during a hunt in the mountains north of Hradec. Here he met a pretty temptress, Vladislava, which he fell in love with, and humped during the ill fated hunt 4 June 893. His very first child, Radka, a beautiful girl, was born out of wedlock to my acquaintance, Vladislava 27 March, 894. Finally, his betrothed wife, Vera, from Dessau as well, came of age, and married Bozipor 27 March, 894. He celebrated this with his brother in law, Bozydar, with a successful hunt, where Bozipor ambushed and slew a boar with bow and arrow 21 September, 895 on his hunt in Jaroměř. This boar tusk was revered as sacred and magical, as the boar was as big as a horse.
Uncle Bozydar was only good as a fighting warrior, a bladesmaster and a hunter, a zealous man hurting himself for the love of his slavic gods, shy and levelheaded except for his religious zeal and the well trained older brother of Bozipors mother, Vera. Bozidar became the Count of Dessau, in October 888, when his father, Bozipors maternal grandfather, Count Bohdan the Sage, abdicated for his son. In a way, Bozipor and Bozidar became both counts around 890 AD, and shared a life long friendship from 894 to 938 AD. Bozidar at a critical point covering for him as the Sorbian Regent during some of his nephews worst annual killing spree over one and a half decade. Bozidar even loyally helped his young nephew build his Forest of Impalement, where poachers, rebels and vagrants were executed by impalement.

Bozipors very first child, Prech, a beautiful boy, was born to my wife, Irena 12 October, 896.
Bozipors best friend, Heník, died in his sleep 5 May, 898, which marked a turning point in Bozipors mind.
As a pastime, a hobby, he went to tournaments, only in order to murder Catholic Kings with poison, such as of West Francia, and of Bavaria and such, but only managed to poison them and make them ill, nevertheless, their premature deaths from same illness, helped sow dissent and dividing up their empires.

The Regency of King Jenec 902-912

Bozipors relatives Ondřej, died of Cancer (4 august 902). and his mother Věra, succumbed to fatal apoplexy
30 May, 905
Guta, a daughter was born to his wife, Irena 2 September, 904. as another daughter, Markéta, was born out of wedlock 6 April, 904 to his mistress, Vladislava, just prior.

King Jenec somehow managed to imprison his regent, Count Bozipor, 29 August, 903, and his loyal friend, the Count of Dessau, Bozidar, managed to bail him out for 50 gold coins,
and was released by King Jenec of Bohemia 28 September, 903.

Elisabeth von Thüringen and I became rivals, as his poisoning kings in tournament hobby catched up to him 7 February, 907.
Bozipor knew that he was to become a father again with his mistress, and took her for a grand carp fishing trip, 12 November 908, asnother son, Časlav, was born out of wedlock to Vladislava 19 November, 908. Right after, yet another son, Děpolt, was born to his wife, Irena 9 June, 909


Usurpation of the Rump Bohemian Kingdom, the Glorified County of Hradec and Sorbian Regicide Murder Spree 911-923

Count Bozipor became the ruler of the Kingdom of Bohemia 2 April, 912, after challenging Queen Vojslava in open court. She immediately surrendered the furniture for her Bohemian throne room, and kept the Sorbian throne trappings, to Hradec.

Regicide Murder Spree of Regent and Future King Borizor the Impaler

King Jenec 911. 30 Sept. He abducted his regent, Russian Verkhoslava Rurikid, from 901 to 909 AD, incurring a 10 year regency ending in regicide, age 14.
Queen Vojslava 912 11 Oct The big sister that tried to outsmart old by jailing him for adultery 29 August 28 September 903 AD, as well as got challenged in throne room for Bohemia, Age 17
Queen Kunhuta 913 12 Aug The twin sister of Jenec, just very unfortunate family to be born into, Age 15
Queen Ponislava 914 17 July The oldest of the One Year Sorbian Line of Kings and Queens. Age 43
King Diepold 915 1 June The oldest male of the One Year Sorbian Line of Kings and Queens. Age 36
King Tista 916 22 March He is only known for mysteriously vanishing after near 9 months in office, Age 16
King Vsebor 917 1 March A lazy gluttonous boy with the intellect of a pig and absolutely no stewardship or learning skills. His murder was an act of mercy Age 16
Queen Domaslava 918 26 Jan A curious, innocent child Age 7
King Letoslav 918 29 Apr An irritable, impatient and paranoid young man, that only knew some mediocre fencing skills and court intrigue, but not enough for master Bozipor Age 27
King Vnislav I 919 3 March A very competent, driven and talented young man, actually the only hope, was it not for Bozipor, for the Przemyslid line Age 7
Queen Klara 920 1 July The youngest of the One Year Sorbian Line of Kings and Queens. Age 4
King Vnislav II 920 11 Juiy The singular and only monarch with regnal number in the bloody history of Kingdom of Sorbia Age 21
Queen Blazena 921 12 Jan The very last Przemyszlid scion or person at all. Age 38
King Bogislav 922 1 March (managed to abdicate in time, 15 Nov 921, before being killed, but alas, contract was already out) Age 15
King Jindrich 923 25 Jan Some childs play and stress of situation allowed him to get on the throne when Bogislav abdicated. A boy king replacing a teen king. Age 9
Queen Anna 924 3 July She managed to become abducted, ransomed, declared war on, then released, and then murdered by the same counterpart Age 21

King Tista (916) and Queen Anna (924) disappeared without trace, the remainder fell to mysterious circumstances, like angry public masses via mob rule, falling out of windows or down from cliffs, drowning, choking on a bone during a meal and so on. I even think their were circumstances by being attacked by domestic animals and so on, almost like in Omen.

The final end of the ill fated Sorbian Kingdom came with Queen Andjela, then Queen Namena, and finally Queen Andjela again, of the Serbian Vlastimirovic-Ragusa family line, located in Spreewald Sommerfeld. I honestly think they got confused over the Serbian-Sorbian conundrum, and decided to finally close it off.

Verkhoslava and Aunt Feodosia Rurikid
I managed to track down poor old regent Verkhoslava, who died of abusive drinking by 953, 70 years old, having outlived our impaler. When she was the original regent of baby Jenec, she was merely a promising 17-19 year old teen ager, an obvious target and victim for our impaler. She was ransommed for 50 gold coins 909 AD, only for her to immediately kill High Chieftess Anastasia of Minsk on getting out 909 9 April, already a hardened woman. Оранжевый — новый черный, Oranzhevyy — novyy chernyy, or Orange is the New Black, as they say in Russian.
High Chieftain Ruslan III, the Drunkard, of Minsk. He, also a consummate alcoholic, had slightly other disorders than his mother (a contrite murderer, and confessing her singular murder securing her son, as well as her failure as a regent in Sorbia and her dungeon and torture years in Hradek), being an irritable and improvident drunkard, spending Minsks money on charities, fun stuff, frustrating things and alcohol. a complex person, very forgiving and very cruel at the same time, a magnanimous villain, a true son of his culture.
His father, one of Verkhoslavas three husbands, married her right after getting out of the Hradekian kidnapping (survivor is the new term?), by 909 to 916, 16 June,, where Chieftain Iliya
Ruslanovich of Chornobyl died of internal injuries after a battle, her second husband from 916 to 16 September 919, Kohen Gostomysl II of Roslavl, and her last husband, she married when she was 64 and he 16, 948-954, till she died aged 70. What is left of the famous Rurikids, is a measle seven (7) persons, of which two are men, (Voislav and Rostislav, both unemployed, either as court guest or wanderer) and five women, Gorislava, Varvara, Praskovya and Ingrid as well as Chechama who is in jail. The Przemyslids already got extinct in 921 as Queen Blazena.

Her aunt, Feodosia Rurikid, changed courts to the Danish one in 906 AD, when she remarried the Danish King , King Ragnarr Halfdansson, and gave him the son , King Haraldr the Lecher (909-944), and then High Chief Ruslan Ruslanovich II of Minsk (843-920, got to be 77 years!). Verkhoslava technically married the older stepbrother of her aunts third husbands elder son. by killing the stepbrothers biological mother, Queen Anastasia of Minsk, in order to make Ruslan Ruslanovich II of Minsk available for her older aunt Feodosia to marry.

Ghost, Wards and a Dead Lover 912-923

As he was raising several children as well as murdering up his way with the Sorbian Kingdom, he saw a ghost of his childhood friend Henik, 14 October 912.
The impaler had many children, but only raised two of them personally, one of noble blood and another bastard son with his older lover, Vladislava.
Prech, of wife , came of age 913 12 Oct and Caslav, of mistress Vladislava, came of age 924 13 Nov about 10 years later than his brother. These two inherited his kingdoms, respectively Prech got Bohemia and Caslav got Poland. In the interim, his mistress, Vladislava, died 19 December 918

Extinction of the Przemyslid Dynasty and Sorbian Succession Wars
With the entire Przemyzlid family blood line exterminated, extinct and fully removed from Central European politics (the tainted, wicked yet very competent Hradek bloodline up to)

923, 18 March Queen Anna of Sorbia was abducted by Hradek Bohemian intelligence services (cloak and dagger), with a declaration of a subjugation war against Queen Anna of Sorbia, 19 October, where she was released for a hefty ransom of 200 gold coins just before her assassination in 923, where the point was moot, war ended, and Poland was invaded instead.

There was a small peasant revolt Januar 1 914 that ended 3 august 915 in Chval, that barely was fough off with an allied army that helped garrison Hradek.

The Polish Invasion by Hradek Bohemian Kingdom 924-926

Following the shenanigans with Sorbia, tiny Bohemia (one county Kingdom) with 6 major allies turned on Poland, starting 12 November 924, ending 22 November 926 against Queen Slawomira.
Bohemia took the Polish Crown as well, and created a dual Kingdom. In order to help fund the war efforts, poor Prince Poppe of East Francia was abducted 15 April 925 to raise money for the war effort, as they they say in the Middle East, one mans hero, another mans terrorist. The poor wife, Irena - mother of Heir Prech, died of Typhus 28 February 925, and the Impaler remarried Bjorg 14 March same year, a giant of a woman of viking stock. Another ward, heir Depolt, came of age 10 June 925.

The New Queen Bjorg brought with her a courtier, Bergthora, a libertine that nude condition did a golden shower and defiled the Bohemia-Poland throne in the impaler forest of Hradek, and invited the impaler for quite the nocturnal, carnal event 24 July 925, and he promptly imprisoned her. He could cheat on puny Irena, but not Giant Bjorg, so his torturing hobby got a new toy instead. In this blissful environment, his son, Bozepor was born 22 October 926, to Bjorg.

Sunset Years of a Cold Blooded Murderous Psychopath Dual King 926-945

Annexation Wars and Defensive Wars 927-944
Various annexation wars were fought, High Chieftess Jadwiga's annexation for Płock, held by King Pukuveras I 6 April, 927 . High Chieftain Czyrzniech's defense against High Chieftain Skuli's attempted Varangian adventure of High Chiefdom of Estonia. 20 August, 927 High Chieftain Czyrzniech's defense against Küllelemb's attempted populist revolt of High Chiefdom of Estonia.
30 April, 927. I came to High Chieftess Jadwiga's defense against Khan Itakh II's attempted annexation of Chiefdom of Sącz. 26 September, 929

Bohemian de jure dominion war over the High Chiefdom of Bohemia, held by Namena. 11 December, 931 , which was won in Queen Andjela's war 2 April, 937.
High Chieftain Czyrzniech's annexation for Berestye, held by Ruslan. 25 May, 937
Count Načerat's claim war for Vogtland, held by František.22 July, 940
High Chieftain Czyrzniech's annexation for Sącz, held by Emperor Kundaç. 30 November, 944
victorious in Chieftess Dobroslava's war. 13 September, 944

New births, Wards coming of age and death of a friend
Births of Viola 25 April, 932 and Zbyslav 13 August, 928
Wards Zbyslav 14 August, 944 and Božepor 23 October, 942

The impalers old friend, Chieftain Bożydar of Dessau, from the northwestern corner of the old Sorbian Kingdom, and the very man that helped dissolve it, died of old age, 5 May, 938.
He could be considered the Anatoly Chubais of this worlds Kingdom of Sorbia, the internal dissolver and redistributor off ill gained property so to speak.
Pilgrimage, Yet Another Queen Zdena Murder, and the very first and only serious assassination attempt 928

There was room for some spiritual development too, in this very dark era, so the Impaler rewarded himself with a Pilgrimage to the Pagan Holy Site of Kiev, 13 April 928,
Having murdered Queen Zdenka 7 of January the same year, there was some final need of spiritual redemption.
There was a major assassination event that the Impaler fought off, or history would have fared differently, when Mayor Lambert of Rybnik did not raise a finger to assist the Impaler as
his traveling entourage were assaulted outside his holding at Rybnik 4 July 928. One of the knights, the elite knight Janusz, saved the Impaler and his traveling entourage when he heroically sacrificed himself by staying behind to distract a mob of raiders outside of Rybnik.
