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.

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 needed] King Ottokar II of Bohemia ruled area through Austria to Adriatic Sea. King Wenceslaus
II was crowned King of Poland 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

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 of the Imperial and Royal House Part: I Maria Theresia, Archduchess of Austria, daughter of
Emperor Karl VI, was b.Vienna 13 May 1717; she succeeded her father as Queen of Hungary and Bohemia and heiress of Austria
