Christianity and Culture in Early Medieval Bohemia

folks, our 2025 quest to visit places in the Medieval world we haven't tackle yet takes us to Bohemia. now, before you pillory me because we've spent so much time there already, we're going back to the old Bohemia, the Bohemia before it was famous as a center of religious heterodoxy and throwing guys out windows. the Bohemia back before it became a kingdom and got Daddy's Specialist Boy status from the Holy Roman Empire. that's right, we're talk Bohemia from the start of the Middle Ages to the end of the Premyslid Dynasty c. 1305. we talk about the real paucity of sources we have before the 860s, the great Slav migrations, Christianization of the region, Great Moravia, Old Church Slavonic, the rise of the Premyslids, Prague becoming a big deal, and how this place morphed from a total backwater to one of the most important regions in the entire world in under 500 years.
