Saint Wenceslas (or Wenceslaus; Václav in Czech), Prince Wenceslaus I (907-935), Duke of Bohemia from 921 until his death in a plot by his own brother, Boleslav the Cruel. His martyrdom, and the popularity of several biographies, quickly gave rise to a reputation for heroic goodness, resulting in his being elevated to sainthood, posthumously declared king, and seen as the main patron saint of Czechia.
