Ladies of Libuse
Princess
Libuse was said to be the wisest woman in Czech history and the
legendary founder of Prague. She ruled Bohemia in the eighth century.
Daughter of the mythical ruler Krok, youngest of three sisters, she was
chosen by her father as his successor. There were no regular courts,
but people came to Libuse to settle their arguments. And although she
proved herself a wise chieftain, the men were unhappy that their ruler
was a woman. She said, “You are right! I am a woman and I rule like a
woman, not with a rod of iron, but with compassion which you take for
weakness. You want a stricter ruler and your demand shall be fulfilled.
You did not appreciate the freedom I gave you, you want a man who will
take your children away to serve him, who will take the best of your
cattle and horses for taxes according to his whims.” She went into a
prophetic trance and told them to go to the village of Stadice to find
a plowman named Premysl, and bring him back to become ruler and her
husband. This was the beginning of the Premyslid dynasty, the princes
and kings who ruled in Czech lands until the murder of Wenceslaus III
in 1306.
To women whose volunteer work for the Nebraska
Czechs of Wilber reflects their vision,
like
Libuse's, for future achievements, this recognition
is presented.
