  The Reign of Boleslaus II
  
  The son of Boleslaus I[2] and Biagota, Boleslaus II became Duke (or Prince) on his father's death. Boleslaus maintained good relations with the Ottonian German kings, and in 975 supported Otto II during the civil war against Henry II, Duke of Bavaria. In 977, Boleslaus again attacked Bavaria, but on this occasion was barred from annexing any lands by Otto II.
  Christianity
  
  Boleslaus' reign is most notable for the foundation of the Diocese of Prague in 973,[3] placed at that time within the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Mainz. In 982, Adalbert of Prague (later known as Saint Adalbert) was appointed to head the bishopric until he abandoned his primacy to lead a mission to the Old Prussians in 994. Alliance between Poland and Bohemia was overturned between 977 and 985 and Poland may participate in invasions of German Emperor against Bohemia. However, in 985 or 990 Poland acquired Silesia at expense of Bohemia.
  Complete Unity
  
  On 28 September 995, Boleslaus and his confederate Vršovci stormed Libice in southern Bohemia and massacred the members of the Slavník dynasty.[4] This clan had been the main rival of Premyslid power in Bohemia. Boleslaus' brutal triumph ensured the unity of Bohemia under a single ruler.
  Marriages and issue
  
  Boleslaus' first wife Adiva, was perhaps the daughter of Edward the Elder, King of England, who married "a prince near the Alps". His second wife was Emma of Melník.
