This fortress town was born in 1265, when Otakar II decided that the intersection of the Vltava and Malse rivers would be the site of a bastion to protect the approaches to southern Bohemia.
Although Otakar was killed at the battle of the Moravian Field in 1278 and the town was subsequently ravaged by the rival Vítkovic family, the construction of Ceské Budejovice continued, eventually taking the shape originally envisaged.
In the 15th century, the Hussite revolution swept across southern Bohemia, with one exception -- Ceské Budejovice, which, with its largely Catholic population, remained true to the king.

King Otakar I of Bohemia ensured the security of the royal title for his successors by securing a Golden Bull – or formal edict – from the Holy Roman Emperor that formally confirmed the title and the succession.
With the kingdom secured and powerful, Bohemia’s position had advanced far enough that King Otakar II was considered important enough to marry a German princess, Margaret of Babenberg, making the king duke of Austria.
Already king of Hungary when he succeeded his father as king of Bohemia and king of Poland in 1305, Wenceslaus III soon waived his right to the kingdom of Hungary, failed to successfully claim his right to the Polish throne, and was murdered before he could produce a male heir for Bohemia.
