  De heilige Ludmilla (Bohemen, rond 860 - Tetín, bij Beroun, 15 september 921) was de echtgenote van Borivoj I van Bohemen, de eerste christelijke vorst van Bohemen. Zij werden door de H. Methodius gedoopt in 873. Pogingen om de bevolking verplicht te bekeren tot het christendom, mislukten evenwel. Zij werd de grootmoeder en de opvoedster van Wenceslaus de Heilige, de latere koning van Bohemen, na de dood van zijn vader Vratislav.
  
  Na de dood van Vratislav ontstonden er rond de prinsen Wenseclaus (opgevoed door Ludmilla) en Boleslav (opgevoed door Drahomira, weduwe van Vratislav en moeder van de prinsen), twee kampen aan het hof. Ludmilla zocht haar toevlucht in het kasteel Tetin maar werd daar in opdracht van Drahomira, die vond dat Ludmilla Wenceslaus te veel beïnvloedde, vermoord. Drahomira had de moordenaars met nadruk bevolen haar te doden zonder haar bloed te laten vloeien, om te voorkomen dat Ludmilla de status van martelaar zou krijgen. De moordenaars hebben Ludmilla daarom met haar halsdoek gewurgd (waar Ludmilla dan ook mee wordt afgebeeld). Ludmilla werd snel in een bescheiden graf in Tetin begraven en de moordenaars werden rijkelijk beloond. Toen bleek dat de moord niet geheim kon worden gehouden en het volk hierover zeer boos was, veranderde Drahomira haar houding. Ze strafte de moordenaars en liet een kerk (gewijd aan de aartsengel Michaël) over het graf van Ludmilla bouwen. Drahomira werd een jaar later door Wenseclaus verbannen. Ludmilla werd in 925 herbegraven in de St Joriskerk te Praag.
  
  Ludmilla is de patroon van Bohemen, van de bekeerlingen, van Tsjechoslowakije, van de hertogen, de weduwen en wordt aangeroepen bij problemen met de schoonfamilie. Haar feestdag is op 16 september.

  Marriage
  
  Ludmila was married to Borivoj I of Bohemia, who was the first Christian Duke of Bohemia. The couple was converted to Christianity around 871, probably through the efforts of Saints Cyril and Methodius.[1] Their efforts to convert Bohemia to Christianity were initially not well received, and they were driven from their country for a time by the pagans. Eventually the couple returned, and ruled for several years before retiring to Tetín, near Beroun.
  
  The couple was succeeded by their son Spytihnev, who ruled for two years before he died. Spytihnev was succeeded by his brother Vratislav. When Vratislav died in 921, his son Wenceslas became the next ruler of Bohemia. It had been mainly Ludmila who raised her grandson and she now acted as regent for him.

Sometime before the year 1100 her remains were removed to the St. George's Basilica, Prague.
