VRATISLAV of Bohemia, son of BŘETISLAV Duke of the Bohemians & his wife Judith von Schweinfurt ([1032]-14 Jan 1093). The Chronica Boemorum names (in order) "Spitignev, Wratislaw, Conradus, Iaromir, Otto" as the five sons of "Bracizlaus [et] Iuditha"[110].

He succeeded his brother in 1061 as VRATISLAV II Duke of the Bohemians. The extent of Bohemian integration in imperial affairs is demonstrated by the grants by "Heinricus…rex" of "comitatum Histrie" and "marchiam Carniole" to the church of Aquileia at the request of "ducibus autem Writizlao Boemie ac Liudolfo Carintie, Cuonone quoque palatino comite et Tieboldo marchione" by two charters dated 11 Jun 1077[112]. The Chronica Boemorum records that "dux Wratislaus et sui fratres Chounradus atque Otto" fought against "orientalem marchionem Lupoldum filium Lucz", the passage being undated with the date 1082 inserted in the margin of the edition[113].
