  • Notes  Married:
    • Emma (Hemma) became the second or wife of Boleslaus 2 about the year 989 and died either in 1005 or 1006. It was traditionally supposed by Czech historians that Emma was the mother of Boleslaus' younger sons Old?ich and Jaromír and that the mother of the oldest son, Boleslaus 3 of Bohemia, was Adiva, the first wife of Boleslaus 2.

      Afraid of Boleslaus 3, Emma chose to go into exile at the court of Bavaria in 1001 together with Old?ich and Jaromír. The brothers sought military backing from the German King Henry 2. This action definitively placed Bohemia within the jurisdiction of the Holy Roman Empire.

      In 1004, Jaromír occupied Prague with a German army and made himself Duke. Emma came back to Bohemia, maybe living in town M?lník, where she died.

      The proof of the existence of Duchess Emma are denars (coins) with the inscription ENMA REGINA (Queen Emma, not duchess). [1]
