  1. 2.  Ottokar Prince Of Bohemia BOHEMIA Descendancy chart to this point (1.Elizabeth1) was born on 22 Nov 1318; died on 20 Apr 1320.

  2. 3.  Charles IV Holy Roman EMPEROR Descendancy chart to this point (1.Elizabeth1) was born on 14 May 1316 in Wenceslaus; died on 29 Nov 1378.

    Notes:

    Charles IV (born Wenceslaus, 14 May 1316 ? 29 November 1378), of the House of Luxembourg, was eldest son and heir of John the Blind, from whom he inherited Luxembourg and Bohemia on 26 August 1346. He was elected King of Germany (rex Romanorum) in opposition to Louis IV at Rhens on 11 July that year and crowned on 26 November in Bonn. In 1349, he was elected (17 June) and crowned (25 July) King of Germany without opposition. In 1355, he crossed the Alps and was crowned King of Italy on 6 January and Holy Roman Emperor on 5 April. His coronation as King of Burgundy was delayed until 4 June 1365, but then he was the personal ruler of all the kingdoms of the Holy Roman Empire.

    His reign was characterised by a transformation in the nature of the Empire and by the coming-of-age of Bohemia. He promulgated the Golden Bull of 1356 whereby the succession to the imperial title was laid down: it held for the next four centuries. He made Prague the imperial capital, refusing even at the insistence of Petrarch to move to Rome, and he was a great builder in that city, which bears his name in so many spots: Charles University, Charles Bridge, and Charles Square. In the present Czech Republic, he is still regarded as Pater patriae (father of the country or otec vlasti), a title first coined by Adalbertus Ranconis de Ericinio at the his funeral.

    Life
    He was born to Elisabeth I of Bohemia in Prague as Wenceslaus, the name of her father, but later chose the name Charles at his confirmation. Charles received a French education and was literate and fluent in five languages: Latin, Czech, German, French, and Italian. From 1333, he administered the lands of the Bohemian Crown due to his father's frequent absence. In 1334, he was named Margrave of Moravia, the traditional title for the heirs to the throne. He was crowned King of Bohemia on 2 September 1347 as Charles I.

    Charles' imperial policy was focused on the dynastic sphere and abandoned the lofty ideal of the Empire as a universal monarchy of Christendom. In 1353, he granted Luxembourg to his brother Jobst. He concentrated his energies chiefly on the economic and intellectual development of Bohemia, where he founded the university in 1348 and encouraged the early humanists. Indeed, he corresponded with Petrarch, whom he invited to visit his residence in Prague, but the great Italian hoped ? to no avail ? to see Charles move his residence to Rome and reawaken tradition of the Roman Empire. As he became fond of Prague, art and architecture flourished in his capital. Not only the bridge that bears his name, but the castle of Hradcany and the cathedral of Saint Vitus, by Peter Parler, were completed under his patronage. Finally, it is from the reign of Charles that dates the first flowering of manuscript painting in Prague.

    In 1356, he issued his famous Golden Bull, which codified the procedures for imperial elections, but had the disastrous effect of causing minor princes who were left out of the electoral process to loosen their allegiance to the empire.

    In 1373, he inherited the margraviate of Brandenburg.

    Meeting with Charles V of France in Paris in 1378, from a fifteenth-century manuscript in the BibliothËque de l'Arsenal.Charles's sister Bona, married the eldest son of Philip VI of France, the future John II of France, in 1335. Thus, Charles was the maternal uncle of Charles V of France, who solicited his relative's advice at Metz in 1356 during the Parisian Revolt. This family connection was celebrated publicly when Charles IV made a solemn visit to his nephew in 1378, just months before his death. A detailed account of the occasion, enriched by many splendid miniatures, can be found in Charles V's copy of the Grandes Chroniques de France.

    Notes:

    Excerpt from Wikipedia:
    His first wife, margaret, Countess of Tirol, the heiress of his family's rival Henry, Duke of Carinthia, ended in separation when the reportedly ugly wife deserted John Henry in 1341, and took her inheritance of Tirol to her next husband, Bavarian duke Louis V.

    In 1364, John Henry married his first wife's widowed daughter-in-law, Margaret of Austria. This marriage produced several sons(non of whom however was able to leave surviving children, so John Henry's line ended in 1411. The eldest of the sons was Jobst of Moravia, Margrave of Moravia and Elector of Brandenburg who became elected as King of the Romans in 1410, but remained actually a rival king.
