THEN - End of the Line: The Last Přemyslids & John the Blind

See a video version on our YouTube channel.

The time of the Přemyslids was coming to an end on the throne of Bohemia. Václav II puts in good work, but then Václav III sort of drops the ball, opening the door for a stepfather, a Habsburg and then the Luxembourgers.
