Massacre of the Slavníks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Massacre of the Slavníks was an act of violence during which Bohemian nobles slaughtered the members of the important Slavník dynasty in Libice on 28 September 995. Only Soběslav, Adalbert,[1] and their stepbrother Radim[2] survived. According to older sources, this act was considered to be the event that brought about the founding of the Bohemian state. Other similar instances are reported during this same period of foundation, but no archaeological evidence of them exists.[3]
