The Slavniks/Slavníks〔First variant (without diacritic mark) is more common in English-language literature〕 or Slavnikids ((チェコ語:Slavníkovci); (ドイツ語:Slawnikiden); (ポーランド語:Sławnikowice); (クロアチア語:Slavnikovići)) was a powerful dynasty in Bohemia during the 10th century. It governed the Zlicans (''Zličané''), one of the oldest Czech tribes. The center of the principality was the gord of Libice located at the confluence of the rivers Cidlina and Elbe. The Slavníks competed with the Přemyslids for control over Bohemia and eventually succumbed to them. Some scholars considered them of White Croats origin. ==History== Generally, the vast majority of what is known about the Slavniks family is from the works by John Canaparius, Bruno of Querfurt, and Cosmas of Prague. The founder, as there is not known any other older personality of the dynasty, it is considered the prince (dux) Slavník (†981), from whom was lent the name to the whole family. According to Bruno of Querfurt, he was the grandson of the Saxon duke Henry I, most probably by the maternal line of the unknown Slavic woman with whom Otto I had the illegitimate son William. This connection explains the friendly relationship between Slavnik's son Vojtěch, Saint Adalbert of Prague, with Otto III, and the Otto's efforts (Congress of Gniezno) around St. Adalbert's canonization, and the installation of St. Adalbert's brother Radim Gaudentius as the first archbishop of Gniezno Cathedral. According Canaprius and Bruno of Querfurt, Slavnik was a noble ruler, and although ruled over a vast territory and had plenty of gold and silver, and minions, he was a simple man and generous towards to the poor people. His wife was Střezislava, a noble woman characterized by modesty and compassion, was from a noble Slavic family worthy of his "royal blood". As such, they were appreciated by both nobles and common people. Slavnik's duchy tried to maintain its independence with friendly relationships with neighbours, as such with the consanguine relations with the Saxon's Ottonian dynasty, the Přemyslid dynasty or Zlicans (supposedly related by Střezislava), and friendly with the Polish Piast dynasty. Slavník had at least 6 sons, among whom two – Vojtěch (Adalbert) and the illegitimate Radim (Gaudentius) – later became saints. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Slavník dynasty」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
