Comment

Son of Boleslaus II, Ulrich (Oldřich in Czech) was duke of Bohemia from 1012 to 1033, when he was deposed by his brother Jaromír, and then again briefly in 1034, after Jaromír was deposed and blinded. During his reign, he subdued for his son and future Duke Bretislaus, Moravia (then administered by Polish duke Bolesław I the Brave) and incorporated it into Bohemian state.

Cach 1031 is variant of Cach 284.
