The head of the Premyslid house was usually designated a prince, or duke (kníze), until 1198, when Premysl Otakar I raised Bohemia to the status of a hereditary kingdom within the Holy Roman Empire.

In 1197 Premysl Otakar I became the undisputed overlord of the Premyslid domains, and in 1198 he was able to secure the royal title for his descendants as well as himself.
