The son of Břetislav I , Vratislav became Duke Of Bohemia in 1061 . Vratislav came to prominence on June 9 1075 when he helped the German King Henry IV to crush the Saxon revolt at the Battle Of Homburg-on-Unstrut . Vratislaus was given possession of Meissen, but was forced to retire by Egbert II, Margrave Of Meissen , a rebel. A loyal ally of Henry IV, Vratislav raised an army to serve in Henry's Italian campaign of 1081 . The Czech s distinguished themselves in the capture of Rome for which Vratislav was crowned ''King of Bohemia'' on June 15 1085 and gave him the Margravate Of Meissen , which he could not possess against Egbert, again. Vratislav's title was not hereditary and was to be regarded as a gift of the emperor. He died in 1092 leaving his brother Konrád Of Moravia as Duke only. |
