Martin from CR 05/2013
You have mistake here. Last Premyslid king was not Wenceslas IVth, but Wenceslas IIIrd and he was killed in Olomouc in 1306. Furthermore Wenceslas IVth was from Luxemburg dynastyand and died in 1419 in Novy hrad u Kunratic.

I will be in Olomouc to teach at Palacky University. I hope to visit the Cathedral.
