Richeza of Berg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richeza of Berg (c. 1095 – 27 September 1125) was the wife of Vladislaus I of Bohemia and the Duchess of Bohemia. She was the daughter of count Henry I of Berg and his wife Adelheid of Mochental.
Richenza married Vladislaus before 1111, her sister Sophie of Berg married another Přemyslid, Otto II the Black, in 1114. The third sister Salomea of Berg married Duke of Poland Bolesław III Wrymouth in 1115.
In 1125 dying Vladislaus I confirmed his relative Otto II the Black as his succesor, which was also the wish of Vladislaus wife Richeza. Only the intervention of his mother Świętosława changed his opinion. Not to like, Vladislaus reconciled with his brother Soběslav.[1]
After Vladislaus death (1125) disappointed Richeza wanted to move to Zwiefalten monastery, but died on the way on 27 September 1125. She is buried in Reichenbach.
