Battle At Chlumec (1040)
A supposed Battle at Chlumec between the Holy Roman Empire and the Duchy of Bohemia is sometimes mentioned as having taken place near Chlumec in 1040, concluding the unsuccessful first campaign by Henry III against Břetislav I. This presumably refers to the encounter between the Saxon force led by Eckard II, Margrave of Meissen and the Bohemian forces of Břetislav I, which met near the Bílina River (some 20 km south-west of Chlumec) n early September 1040, but according to Perlbach (1870:451f.), the commanders reached an agreement allowing the Saxons to withdraw without battle. The Saxon forces led by Eckard II, Margrave of Meissen and Bardo, bishop of Mainz, assembled at Dohna, on the left bank of the Elbe, on 15 August. They were supposed to unite with Henry's forces before marching against Prague, but they remained in Dohna for ten days. During this time, Henry was ambushed in the Upper Palatine Forest and suffered heavy losses. Eckard did not enter Bohemia immediately ...

War Of Bohemian Succession (1125–1140)
The War of Bohemian Succession (1125–1140) was a war between the Imperial Forces of the Holy Roman Empire and the Duchy of Bohemia about the succession in the Duchy of Bohemia. Background Since Duke Bretislaus I of Bohemia had implemented the inheritance principle of agnatic seniority in the 11th century, the order of succession in Bohemia, many rivalling scions of the ramified Přemyslid dynasty waged war against each other. The claimants to the Prague throne sought for formal recognition by the Holy Roman Emperor, when in actuality, the accession required the active support by the Bohemian nobility. The Přemyslid duke Vladislaus I of Bohemia, ruling since 1109, likewise had to struggle to consolidate his authority, defying the claims raised by his brother Bořivoj II who had reached his enfeoffment by Emperor Henry IV in 1101. When Vladislaus died in 1125 his succession was disputed among his surviving brother Soběslav I and his Moravian cousin Otto II, duke in Olomou ...

Battle Of Chlumec Nad Cidlinou
Battle of Chlumec nad Cidlinou was a final military engagement between Austrian army and Czech peasant rebels during the peasant revolt of 1775 in Bohemia at 25 and 26 March 1775. Peasants fighting for better conditions of their serf duties of corvée were crushed near the town of Chlumec nad Cidlinou and pushed to the Chlumec pond. Prelude The uprising broke out as a result of the economic situation of the Habsburg monarchy, ruled by empress Maria Theresa, after the Seven Years' War and the great famine in Bohemia between 1770 and 1772. The villagers were also forced to work because of the law of corvée. At the beginning of 1775, riots began to rise in the border areas of the empire, in Teplice, Broumov and Náchod regions, which gradually spread to the entire hinterland of Bohemian border hills. The uprising arose especially at those mountainous and foothill areas, where the situation was the most dire after the famine. In February 1775, a peasant "guberno" began to operate ...
