Wratislaus of Brno

Wratislaus of Brno, Duke of Moravia, was the Duke of Moravia for twenty years - between 1125-1129 and 1130 - 1156 ). He was the first son and successor of Ulrich I, of Brno (+1092) and unknown princess. He did not succeed as half monarch of Moravia (diarch), for all half of Moravia as his father Ulrich I, but Brno was already divided into two parts: Brno and Znojmo and his father Ulrich was co-monarch in this part with his uncle Luitpold of Znojmo. Both brothers together later established a benedictine cloister and its St. Procopius Basilica in Třebíč and prepared as mausoleum for Brno-Znojmo branch House of Přemyslid. Wratislaus himself probably initiated the establishment of the Royal cathedral chapter of St. Peter and Paul in Brno, formally created later in 1292. He had long ruled over Moravia for 20 years, once interrupted by illegitimate regency: By his marriage(1132) to a Russian princess, he probably had two (three ?) children:

• Spytihněv of Brno (or), Duke of Moravia from 1125 to 1129 and from 1130 to his death in 1146
• Svatopluk of Brno (?),(or) Prince of Jemnice (?)
• Agnes (?) 1197
