		Prague was by its geographical situation naturally destined to become the capital of Bohemia, as it lies in the centre of the country.
		On the 26th of November 1741 Prague was stormed by an army consisting of Bavarians, French and Saxons which upheld the cause of Charles, elector of Bavaria, who claimed the succession to the Bohemian throne and to the other domains of the house of Habsburg.
		The centre of the old town and indeed of the entire community of Prague is the town hall (staromestska radnice), which is surrounded by the market-place, the scene of the execution of the Bohemian patriots in 1621.

	Cosmas of Prague
		With the Bishops of Prague, Gebhard, Cosmas, and Hermann, he was on terms of great intimacy, and often accompanied them on their travels; he likewise enjoyed the esteem and the confidence of the rulers of Bohemia.
		Cosmas wrote in Latin a "Chronica Bohemorum", or historia of Bohemia from the earliest times to 1125.
		As an historian, Cosmas is generally truthful and conscientious; he distinguishes between what is certain and what is based only on rumours or tradition.

	Prague Castle
		Prague castle was enlarged and renewed on a grand scale by the Premyslids in the 13th century and in the following two centuries by Charles IV and King Vladislav Jagiello.
		Prague Castle was so devastated, demolished and broken that since the time of King Otakar II it has fallen to the ground.
		Prague Castle is a sprawling complex situated atop a large hill on the left bank of the Vltava River, which runs through old town Prague.

	"Alchemy and Puppetry: A Prague Sojourn" by Terri Windling
		Prague thrived, and by the 14th century, under the rule of Charles IV, the city was larger than London or Paris and boasted western Europe's first university.
		The most famous of Prague's creative figures, of course, was the German-speaking Franz Kafka (1883-1924), whose brooding surrealistic vision captured the darker flavor of the city where he lived for all but a few years of his life.
		Prague is a place where the old and the new, the realistic and surrealistic, have come together in a singular manner -- in its arts, its streets, its politics, its way of life, and its stories.

		The Czechs had their Culloden at the Battle of the White Mountain near Prague on 8th November 1620, although, unlike in Scotland, in the Czech case, it was the Catholic side which won and the protestant side that was defeated.
		In that year, he returned to Prague because he had heard that a new Provisional Theatre was to be build there and wanted to compose operas and to become the new theatre's Kapellmeister.
		Dalibor was premiered in the New Town Theatre in Prague on 16th May 1868, on the day of huge festivities, during which the foundation stones had been laid for the construction of the national theatre.

		COSMAS, of Prague (1045–1125), dean of the cathedral and the earliest Bohemian historian.
		His Chronicae Bohemorum libri iii., which contains the history and traditions of Bohemia up to nearly the time of his death, has earned him the title of the Herodotus of his country.
		This work, which his continuators brought down to the year 1283, is of the highest value to historians in spite of the fact that its reputation for disingenuousness and credibility has been greatly affected by the critical attacks of J. Loserth (Studien zu Cosmas von Prag, Vienna, 188o, andc.).

		This, however, does not prove conclusively that Jews lived in Moravia in the beginning of the tenth century, for its regulations applied probably to traveling merchants who went to Moravia chiefly to buy slaves (Thietmar's "Chronicon," vi.
		Jews must have lived in Moravia in the eleventh century, for Cosmas of Prague, the Bohemian chronicler (1040-1125), refers to them on various occasions.
		Cosmas reports also that Duke Ladislaus (1109-25) ordered that thereafter (1124) no Christian should serve a Jew, because a certain Jew had taken holy relies from the altar of a church and had thrown them into a sewer.

		More than 350 years after it was looted from Prague by the Swedish Army during the Thirty Years' War, a famous medieval text will return to its native land, though only temporarily.
		Particularly noteworthy for Czechs, the manuscript contains the oldest version of Cosmas of Prague's "Chronicle of Bohemia," a history of the region.
		It stayed in Prague for more than a half century, until it was taken by the Swedish Army to Stockholm.

		The same is asserted of the old Bohemians or Czechs in the account given of their manners and customs by Cosmas of Prague, a Latin annalist of the eleventh century, who says: Connubia erant illis communia.
		Let me first quote the words of Cosmas of Prague, which relate to this subject, and then show you what illustration they find both in written literature, and in popular ballads and songs.
		Confronted with the facts just brought forward, the popular legend, reported by Cosmas in his chronicle, of a kind of Bohemian Amazons, who took an active part in the wars of the time, appears in its true light.

		When calm was restored to Europe after the great wave of mass migration that ended in around the 8th century, Slavs pushed into present-day Saxony.
		In the year 1120 the Czech chronicler Cosmas of Prague coined the name "Srbia" for the territory known as the Mark Meißen.
		Originating at that time, as well, are the Saxon place names with the -itz suffix, closely related to the Slavic place names ending in -ic, for example: Görlitz, Oelsnitz, and Chemnitz.

		The legends of St. Wenceslaus, composed in that century, were written in Old Church Slavonic.

		The German occupation saw the destruction of Czech literary art and the death of many outstanding figures.

	Good King Wenceslas:
		Canon Cosmas of Prague, in his Chronica Boemorum, offers the first narrative history of the Czech people.
		Among his first deeds as prince, Wenceslas set about seeking the canonization of his grandmother—according to the traditions of the Latin Church, he ordered her remains to be translated from Tetín to Prague for interment.
		Wenceslas was translated from Boleslav’s castle, Mladá Boleslav, to Saint Vitus’ Cathedral in Prague on March 4.

		Volkmar's group arrived in Prague and on 30 June began to massacre Jews.
		The lay authorities were unable to curb them and the vehement protests of Prague's Bishop Cosmas went unheeded.
		Ekkehard (of Aura, Hierosolymita) praised the persecution of "these execrable people" who were "enemies within the Church." However, Cosmas of Prague held it uncanonical to baptize Jews forcibly.

	Are Russian Jews Descended from the German and Bohemian Jews?
		The first evidence that Central European Jews migrated eastward (and eventually met up with other existing communities of the east, such as the East-Slavic Jews) comes from the 11th century.
		Some historians have claimed that the chronicler Cosmas of Prague wrote about Jews migrating from Bohemia into Poland, but the actual text merely says that some Jews fled and other transferred their property into Poland and Hungary, and there are no other details provided by Cosmas.
		But this idea was confirmed by the research of the onomastician Alexander Beider, who showed (using actual documents) in his book
