    King of Bohemia, IIRC, so perhaps more like a duke or a count or a marquis of some sort?

    Close to Bohemia? :pac:

    Or was he just a Regent rather than an actual king?

    He was made king posthumously.

    Who killed him?

    Close, but not close enough...…………….

    That's it. It was a posthumously awarded title. He was a Duke at the time of his death. I believe he was assassinated by a gang led by his brother.

    Was it Stephen poisoning him in that feast he put on?

    Very much so. Multiple stabbing with knives and then run through with a lance.

    Well, it was a thorough job, they just wanted to make sure, can't fault them, really. It was his brother with the lance, wasn't it? Families, eh? :rolleyes:?

    What's Lance got to do with it? I know he defrauded the Tour de France and the US Postal Service, but I don't think you can blame him for this one
