Zdenka of Bohemia was a legendary princess who lived in the late 13th century. She is said to have been the daughter of King Wenceslaus I of Bohemia and his wife Kunigundis of Carinthia. According to legend, Zdenka was renowned for her exceptional beauty and piety. She lived a contemplative life in a convent and was known for her charitable works and acts of kindness towards the poor.
Late 13th century
Another Zdenka, a Bohemian noblewoman, was born in around 1450. She was the daughter of Jan of Sobotka and his wife Anna of Lichtenberg. Zdenka was married to Count Nikolaus IV of Zerota around 1470. In 1471, she was accused of conspiring against her husband with her lover, Nikolaus of Rožmberk. She was arrested and imprisoned, but managed to escape and flee to her family's castle in Sobotka. She was later recaptured and put on trial, but was acquitted due to lack of evidence.
