After the defeat in the military campaign with Hungary in 906, the Great Moravian state collapses. Although the Magyars interrupted communication between the southern and western Slavs, they failed to capture the entire territory of the Great Moravian Empire. At that time, Czech tribes settled the areas north of the Carpathians and Sudetenland — they gained independence.
Among the tribal states, it was the Czechs who showed the greatest dexterity in terms of the succession of Great Moravia. Initially torn apart by the struggle of the two dynasties, the Przemyslovichs and the Slavnikovs, at the end of the tenth century they took advantage of the former, weakened Hungary and occupied Moravia and Slovakia. Then they came into the possession of Silesia and the Vistula country, which made the country under the rule of the Przemyslovichi one of the strongest in the then Slavic region.
Czech Prince Borzhivoj of the Przemyslovich dynasty, who ruled until 1306, moved his residence to Prague. His son Vratislav I is considered the founder of the Czech state. The next ruler, Brzetislav I, united the Czech Republic and Moravia in 1019. Vratislav II was the first ruler to be crowned in 1085. From that moment on, the Czech Republic was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and during the reign of Charles IV, together with its capital, its center, experienced the greatest boom in history. In 1310-1437, the Luxembourgs sat on the Czech throne, and since 1526— the Habsburgs.
The 14th and 15th centuries were the heyday of the Central European countries. Colonization under German law continued in these areas, the population grew, villages and towns appeared, trade, agriculture and crafts developed. The Czech Republic began to develop this intensive development in the 14th century.
After the reign of the Przemyslovich dynasty, John of Luxembourg (1310-1346) became the new Czech king. As the successor, after Wenceslaus II and Wenceslaus III, he also laid claim to the Polish throne. He allied with the Teutonic Knights, fighting Vladislav Joketek. Peace between the Czechs and Poland was not concluded until the reign of Casimir the Great.
The next ruler, Charles of Luxembourg, who was not only the king of Bohemia, but also of Germany and the emperor, considered the Czech Republic and its capital Prague, the main center of his power. On the basis of the golden bull of 1356, the King of Bohemia became one of the electors of the Reich.
Germanization and German colonization led to ethnic and linguistic tensions in the Czech Republic. Jan Huss, a professor at Prague University, expressed the opinions of the Czech population on this issue in his sermons. He defended the Czech language and criticized the immorality of the clergy of that time. In the end, Huss was declared a heretic, and in 1415 he was convicted and burned at the stake.
The death of Jan Huss sparked an uprising. Another ruler of Luxembourg, Sigismund, was unable to take the throne. In this situation, he organized the so-called Hussite movement against the supporters of Huss. The fighting continued until the 30s of the 15th century, when Sigismund of Luxembourg was crowned in Prague only at the end of his life.
After Sigismund's death, the struggle for the Czech throne became a field of competition for many contenders. In 1471, power passed to Vladislav Jagiellonchik, the son of the Polish king Kazimierz Jagiellonchik.
