Truly some beautiful pronunciations happening here :)
Love Oddo. But I‘m not upset about it. My german tongue butchers a lot of english words. And the grammar, maybe, too.
*except "Checha"*
@@stichhalbierer9329 I am not upset at all, more like jokingly prodding a friend :D
I like how he is pronouncing Přemysl like Pžemysl because he can't say ř.
@@MLaserHistory I understood your comment in that way. But before I read a comment „work on your pronunciation!!“ and that is not very polite.
His pronunciation of Otto is funny for me because I‘m from North Germany and we‘re a little lazy with talking. We say Oddo, exactly like him. In high German it’s more like the english Word „to“. Reverse it for the first syllable.
Ah, "UsefulCharts: Kingdom Come Deliverance Edition" 😄 Been waiting for this!
I was lookin for it too ahhah
not a lot of info though
Hey, I'm responsible for that composer chart you mentioned at the end of the video--thanks for the shoutout! There's a lot of amazing work happening over there on the subreddit. I encourage everyone to go explore and contribute if you can!
Fun fact about Ottokar II, along with all his other accomplishments he also went on a crusade against the baltic pagans in Prussia, and the Teutonic Knights named Königsberg in his honor.
In Czechia we call him Přemysl Otakar II
@@krchelkostka5100 Pane Kostka já jsem Čech :-)
Which is now kallingrad, talk about historical claim to land now, Putin.
Kralovec
@@Mirinovic Dobry den!
It's interesting to see how the crowns of Bohenia, Poland, Hungary and HRE have been quite interconected along the way.
*The Holy Polish-Lithuanian-Hungarian-Bohemian-Roman--Muscovite-Swedish Commonwealth*
@@jakubpociecha8819 Kinda weird that the Lithuanian royal family was the reason all those countries were connected by blood.
The legendary founder of the Premyslid dynasty was just some dude, his wife Libuše (or Libussa) was the real deal. She was the leader of the Bohemians, who (according to the legend) bitched about being ruled by a woman, so she foretold that they would find a man working the fields, who will be their ruler.
That’s according to the legend(s) yes.
The' Pagan Queen ' movie is about this
Yay! As a Czech, I am thrilled to go through this video. Major props on actually being able to pronounce the names of the premyslid kings lol the only thing is, I think Wenceslaus III. Wasnt killed on the toilet, that was Jaromír. :)
Yep! Wenceslaus III. was murdered quite "normally" with a knife or something like that while just walking around in Olomouc.
*Me signs a Czech for Jack Mehoff*
Yeah... Poor Jaromír... ;-)
Ottokar sounds like auto-car :D
@@safirak7988 Murder is just normal, apparently 😂
I love these man. Even when you already know the history and the players. Its just really good to be able to visualise them in a tree.
The pronunciations (apart from "Chechia" :D) were pretty good! Also it's quite fun to see Czech history from less, let's say, biased sources. From school, you "know" that some kings were "bad guys", but this made it much more neutral. Well, you also didn't go into that many details of theer reign of course, so not everything would be mentioned, but still, this was pretty interesting!
Just a correction: Wenceslaus III never ceded Polandpp and was killed while resting in his chambers in thr city of Olomouc, where he was currently gathering an army to fight the Polish rebels.
"Modern Day Chechia"
Czechs: What did he just call me
14:40
Me: Oh he founded Monte Carlo?? Wow
*Jack explains it isn't the one in Monaco*
Me: "my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined"
I know him and Matt are friends but I don't want to be rude but I really don't like someone else who has a channel is not doing on his channel
*Reads this exactly when he's saying this line*
Now I want to see you cover the Ostrogoth family tree
Did he pronounce it "che chi a" instead of "che ki a"?
yup
I used to say Czechia way worse back then. I used to call it Ce Zech or Ka Zech
Václav III was NOT assasinated on toilet, but in his bedroom. On toilet that was one of his ancestors - Jaromír - who was speared.
That intro drum and woodwind piece always gets my head banging. It just hits right.
A little tidbit info - the image of Vratislaus (Vratislav II.), the first king of Bohemia, is taken from the Rotunda of St. Catherine in Znojmo. The rotunda was build in the second half of 11th century and in 1134 the inner walls were decorated with fresques showing christian themes (the dove, the four evangelists, four cherubs, and the whole thing with Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ) as well as the myth of Přemysl The Ploughman and mythical Přemyslid rulers.
During the tourist season, it's possible to go inside and see the fresques, it's pretty awesome :)
Been waiting awhile for this one, definitely worth the wait
The pronounciation of Czechia is more like Czekhia. If you have problems, use Bohemia as on medieval sigils of those kings (Rex Bohemorum).
That was very interesting. Love the history of lesser known kingdoms. Please do Georgia 🇬🇪
I love this idea
Czech kingdom was an important part of the Holly Roman Empire.
Přemyslid Family!! Awesome! Thanks for doing this!
What an amazing work!!!
Love to see others doing stuff about my country
What an amazing narrating voice you have, Mr. Rackham
But can this chart tell me how Charles the 4th, King of Bohemia, and Holy Roman Emperor had a long and successful reign? And how his empire he ruled from Prague expanded?
what is the point of this comment
@@thebasileus4793 It is the intro of a game called Kingdon come Deliverance
Nice! I'm glad you did this one!
UsefulCharts, can you please make a video on Cambodia's royal family tree. Thank you very much.
Your pronunciation of names is effortless and on point 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
I'm Czech and I was waiting for this! So excited to watch this video!
EDIT: 30 seconds in and I begging you - Czechia is cz-kee-ah. Or just say Czech republic. No one is using Czechia anyways :)
It isn’t even a mispronunciation that makes any sense. Czech uses the same spelling and I assume Jack doesn’t pronounce that “Čeč”.
@@CraftsmanOfAwsomenes For Czech we can hear it he pronpounced it more like Chechnia then Czechia and that is different.
Díky, chlape!
Great video! much love from Belgium 🇧🇪
Yey Czech Kings! (Yes, it's the same, at least in Czech, Polish and some other languages. Meanwhile English and some other languages complicated things by deriving their traditional names for this land from a fancy Latin term, which in turn was derived from the Celtic Boii tribe and disassociating it from its west Slavic majority ethnic group. It's complicated).
Also, speaking about the Good King Wenceslas, everybody go watch the video about the origins of the Carol at M. Laser channel, because it's awesome.
Boii were Venetic tribe, it was something half way between Balto-Slavs and Kelths, they were even closer linguistically to Slavs than to Kelths or Balts.
I think Bohemia is a latinized Germanic term. "Bo" (Boi - The celtic tribe, that lived in Bavaria, "Ba", and Bohemia) and "hemia" (heima/hema - meaning "home"). In German it is called "Böhmen", "Bö"
@@Leo-uu8du Yes, it is, and as far as Venetic Boii were Kelthic you are right.
But actually Venetic people were something transistional between Kelths and Balto-Slavs, they were sister-branch of Illirians basically.
@@krakendragonslayer1909 What are Kelths?
@@Leo-uu8du Κελτοί are one of main ethnic groups of Iron Age Europe
I saw this, mostly to see the origin of Dagmar, queen in Denmark, the first wife of Valdemar 2nd the Victorious. I am a little disappointed, that she was not mentioned. I think she was the daughter of Ottokar 1st. She died in 1212, and her only son, born in 1209, died in 1232 due to an accident during a hunt. Therefore Valdemar 2nd the Victorious was succeeded by his three sons with his second wife queen Berengaria, who was of Portuguese origin.
Poland and Hungary videos were made, at last the Bohemian one is as well!
I’m going to have to watch Bohemia, Poland and Hungary videos back to back to back! 🇨🇿 🇵🇱 🇭🇺
I have been waiting for this 👑
I never knew how amazing my Czech and Bohemian lineage was.
I study musicology and just sent a link to the composer "family tree" into the group chat of my fellow students, maybe it'll help someone in the next semester, it sure as hell is interesting! thank you so much
Whenever I see the name Wencaslas I think of good king Wencaslas good to know the carol has historical roots
love your work keep it up
Very nice video, great work!!!! Only thing is the wife of Jan of Luxemburg (blind king) was not Elizabeth, but Eliška (i think Ellis in english) :)
Eliška and Elizabeth are the same name, just different versions. It's maybe more clear with another Czech version of Eliška, that is Alžběta (that's why Eliška Rejčka and Alžběta Richenza are indeed the same person).
Beautiful pronunciation sir!!! Will you do Bavarian empire and Basque empire?
Drahomíra didn't revert land to paganism. Don't take medieval chronicles written centuries later too seriously.
10:54
This king is where we'll get Königsberg (the former German name for Kaliningrad) and its Czech name Kralovec.
im sorry if its already somewhere on your channel but do you also have video about european celts? such as bohems that our bohemia actually got a name from?
As a Czech person myself I'm glad to see someone talking about our history. And very accurately on top of that😊
Mathias Corvinus never got to Prague. He was encircled in the forests of Vilemov and forced to return to Morava/Hungary. But that was in the time of Jiří of Podebrady.
Tbh, after this video i feel quite hungry
Btw will you do a video about the Romanian royals.
17:49 dat face
When jack narrates i half expect the video to end abruptly after he says so-and-so died.
Good job on those pronunciations!
i think it would be really cool if you would combine the east and west charts:)
Very Interesting!
Oh wow, great video, even the pronounciation was great
Awesome video
Finally I found a video which makes my Czech heart melt haha
respect for the accent :D its very good
Hey, UsefulCharts has come to see us!
Finally! :-) Mike, Prague
This remind me those times in history class at elementary school :D Very good job with this video
This was great
Wow, I sure love being a citizen of Czeczia!
I didn't even noticed when Razman Kadyrov expanded Chechenia into Czechia :D
In 1247. Přemysl Otakar II. was only 14 years old and definitively didn´t make a try to become Emperor. All that came only after 1270.
Nice 😃
Nice to see Sigismund being portrayed in more positive light than one usually see in Czech sources!
If my memory serves me well, duke Vaclav was murdered at age 29. Not by his brother Boleslav, but by hired murderers. However, it is claimed that they were hired by Boleslav. Here we have to pause and think about how the history has been portrayed. This was the time of conversion from pagan religion to Christianity and after the win of the latter, events were described with its bias. To promote Christianity, sainthood was not only given to Vaclav, but also to his mother Ludmila, promoters of Christianity, who opposed Boleslav and his pagan wife Dubrava (Dubravka? She came from a Slavic people near Misen (German Meissen), who were later overwhelmed and assimilated by Germans.
House of Flanders and Brabant when 😭
My paternal grandfather's family was from Bohemia,.
It is interesting to discuss why the word "bohemian" means "gypsy" in French and by extension from that it means a kind of urban hippie in English which has given us the name of a famous opera "La Boheme' and from that opera the name of a very famous pop song by "Queen" called "Bohemian rhapsody."
I want to learn more about kingdom come deliverance lore lol
Thank you for the video, although I have Czech-Slovak origin, but by nationality and citizenship I am a citizen of the Czech Republic, I am a Czech monarchist and therefore I am close to this topic.
Did you know that the descendants of the Přemyslid Czech princely and royal family still live after the horsetail? They are not only members of the European royal families but also members of the Czech, Moravian and Silesian nobility in the Czech Republic.
However, the titular Czech King, the Margrave of Moravia and the Duke of Silesia is the head of the Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty, Charles of Habsburg-Lorraine, and his son Ferdinand Zvonimír Habsburg-Lorraine.
Frankly, the Czech prince, said St. Wenceslas, is still a symbol of Czech statehood, is the patron saint of the Czech coronation jewels, and was used as a symbol by the German Nazis in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
Among the descendants of the Přemyslid dynasty are, for example, Tomáš Count Czernin, who is the vice-president of the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, or another descendant of the Přemyslids is Charles VII. The Prince of Schwarzenberg, who was the Chancellor of President Václav Havel, was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic and is still a member of the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic. In 2013, he ran for President of the Czech Republic.
The horsemen of the Přemyslids after the horsetail thus serve and still live in the Czech Republic but also elsewhere, according to Czech genealogists, the descendants of the Přemyslid princes and kings are also several presidents of the USA.
However, if the monarchy were restored in the Czech Republic as if the relations of Czechs, Moravians and Slezanians to monarchism were loosened after the fall of communism because the symbols of the monarchy destroyed during the first Czechoslovak Republic under President Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk were restored, Czechs, Moravians and Silesians would they did not accept the Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty as their ruling family, even though he has a legitimate claim to the Czech throne.
@@imfrkmiroslavfrk5880 I don´t think Czech people would accept another german or austrian to rule us we had enough of that.
@@Arianeria Yes, the Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty has a legitimistic claim to the Czech royal throne, but the Czechs, Moravians and Silesians are not all affiliated with the Habsburg-Lorraine archdome. However, according to succession law, they are still entitled to the throne of the Hungarian Palatine line from the Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty, or through the Austria-Este family, the right to the Belgian royal family of the Koburks passes. By the way, there is also a part of my ancestors from Koburk in today's Bavaria. Then, after the exclusion of the legitimistic claim, the choice of a new dynasty / family would probably be considered on the basis of kinship, and so the Sternbergs (Schwartenbergs), Schwarzenbergs or Czernins (Czernins) and others would get into the line. Some Czech monarchists we have found are considering an elected monarchy.
I apologize for the late connection. Otherwise, it's my work and study email, I won't give you a personal one.
What program do you use to make these posters?
I don't remember if Libreoffice or Openoffice, but one of the Powerpoint equivalent.
But did he go out on the Feast of Stephen? And was the snow laying round about? Deep and crisp and even?
Bohemia? Cool
Jack Rackam is such a funny name. Every time he says it at the beginning I throw my head back and laugh and hoot and holler
Can you pls make a video about Mohg's Dynasty?
The picture of "the oldest university in the Middle Europe" you used is in fact Rudolfinum, something like Albert Hall in London being used in the same fashion.
Nope, Rudolfinum is next to it, but this photo is indeed the university - more specifically the Faculty of Arts (I studied there, I would know).
18:10
Start of the Matrilineal House of Barbara :'3
Also Albert appears in lots of family trees multiple times for some reason
Finally.... 🤩🤩🤩
Borivoj's daughter called Orosia was a princess who was called to marry the Visigothic king of Spain Fortun Garcés but on her way through the Pyrenees she was captured by the Islamists and was beheaded, she is attributed great miracles and is the patron saint of the city from Jaca
Which Bořivoj ?
Any kingdom come: deliverance players get excited at the Sigismund and Wenceslaus portion? Lol
I wonder if they did this video, beacause of the AoE 2 Dawn of the Dukes expansion.
Useful Charts

Now that's surprising.
Great Video! I really Hope that you Will make Who Will be the king of ___ today? , With Czechia
I wonder if Boleslass had a Shakesperian spectre at the feast
17:51 that begs the question, what’s your favorite of all time?
"Sound like the sort of names I could have made up and you would never know". LOL!!!!
Why don't you do the same for German kingdoms such as Bavaria, Saxony and Hannover?
10:25
Wait for it... THE MONGOLS!
*We're the exception!*
Correction: Borivoj I was a poor boy from a poor family.
Just noticed at 9:00 the typo "Mosovia". Actually, it should be Konard of Masovia
Have been playing Crusader Kings 3 as King Vratislaus and it‘s so interesting to see how history repeated itself, this game is so accurate
Can You Make A Video About Richthtofen Family Please?You Know The Legendary Pilot The Red baron...Please...
