## Bio

Ottokar II was born around 1233, the second son of Wenceslaus I of Bohemia, and educated for church administration while his older brother Vladislaus stood in line for the throne. Through his mother Kunigunde, daughter of Philip of Swabia, he carried Hohenstaufen blood. He became King of Bohemia in 1253 and began accumulating titles: Margrave of Moravia from 1247, Duke of Austria from 1251, Duke of Styria from 1260, Duke of Carinthia and landgrave of Carniola from 1269. Under him the Přemyslid dynasty hit its territorial peak in the Holy Roman Empire. He expected the imperial crown — it never came. On 26 August 1278, he died at Dürnkrut in Lower Austria, the Iron and Golden King who ruled an empire but never wore its highest title.
