Royal Consorts of Bohemia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of the royal consorts of the rulers of Bohemia.
The first Duchess of Bohemia (česká kněžna) was St. Ludmila, the first Queen of Bohemia (česká královna) was Świętosława of Poland. Some of them were (like their husbands) not crowned.
There was only one ruling Queen in czech history, Maria Theresia. Nevertheless, some of them were highly influential in the country's history, having ruled as regents for their minor children and heirs, as well has having a great influence over their spouses.
The title was used until 1918, though Anne of Jagiello is considered as the last real Queen of Bohemia.
