# Event: Ruled 1230-1253
Wenceslas I, King of Bohemia from 1230 who brought Austria under his dynasty while using the influence of German colonists and craftsmen to keep Bohemia strong, prosperous and culturally progressive.
Succeeding his father Premysl Otakar I, in 1230, Wenceslas prevented Mongol armies from attacking Bohemia (1241), but could not defend Moravia, which was subsequently ravished by the Mongols before the moved into Hungary. The King's main foreigh policy objective then became the acquisition of Austria. On the death of the last Babenberg Duke of Austria, Frederick II (1246), Wenceslas secured the hand of the Duke's niece for his son Vladislas. But Vladislas soon died, and Wenceslas lost Austria. After suppressing a Bohemian revolt in 1248-9, however, he finally forced the Austrian estates to accept his son Premysl Otakar II as their Duke in 1251. Bohemia prospered under Wenceslas' reign. Towns grew and German merchants and colonists added considerably to the wealth of the country, while German influence at the court caused a rich flowering of the arts, expecially literature and architecture.
