Son of Ulrich, Bretislaus I (Czech: Břetislav I.) was a duke of Bohemia from 1034 until his death in 1055. Also called Czech Achilles, he is known for conquest of Moravia in 1029, for kidnapping his future wife Judith of Schweinfurt, for his numerous military campaigns, issuing the first known Bohemian code of law and dividing Moravia into 3 apanages.

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Bretislaus I ND (1028-1034) from Unified Moravia and Margraviate made of Silver is that it features an image of Bretislaus I, who was the Duke of Bohemia and Margrave of Moravia, on one side, and a cross on the other. This coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 1028 to 1034, and it was used as a means of payment and trade throughout the region. The use of silver in the coin's minting process was a significant innovation at the time, as it was a more durable and valuable material than the copper coins that were previously used. This coin is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item, and it is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region.
