    Family

    She was the wife of Bretislaus I of Bohemia. Her parents were Henry, margrave of Nordgau (Bavaria), and his wife Gerberga. She was a scion of the House of Babenberg.
    Bretislaus and Jitka

    The House of Premysl wished to confirm its good relationship with the Babenbergs through a marriage to Judith in 1020. Judith was a desirable bride, but Oldrich of Bohemia had only one son, Bretislaus, and he was of illegitimate birth, thus complicating the prospect of a marriage with the high-born Judith. Bretislaus solved the problem by kidnapping Judith from a monastery, although he was never punished for the crime. He married Judith some time later. Their first son Spytihnev was born after almost ten years, which led to the hypothesis that the kidnapping happened in 1029, although Judith may have given birth to daughters before her first son.
    Exile in Hungary

    After Bretislaus died in 1055, Judith may have been sent by Spytihnev out of Bohemia, like other Germans, and moved to Hungary. In Hungary she may have married the former king Peter Urseolo of Hungary, who had been deposed in 1046.

    Judith died in 1058 and was buried in St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague.
  • She died on August 2, 1058, she was 56 years old.
  • She is buried in St. Vitus Cathedral, Praag.
  • A child of Hendrik I van Schweinfurt and Gerberga von Gleiberg
