  jaromÃ­r (c. 975 - 4 november 1035) was the second son of boleslaus ii the pious and emma of mÄlnÃ­k. in 1003, he rebelled against his elder brother boleslaus iii, who had him castrated,czech radio but was unable to secure the throne, which was subsequently taken by bolesÅaw the brave, king of poland. jaromÃ­r and his brother oldÅich then sought military backing from the german king henry ii. at merseburg, jaromÃ­r promised to hold bohemia as a vassal of henry. this action definitively placed bohemia within the jurisdiction of the holy roman empire. in 1004, jaromÃ­r occupied prague with a german army and made himself duke. the state he regained was a small one, as polish forces still held moravia, silesia, and lusatia. jaromÃ­r's reign&mdash;like so many of the other early czech rulers&mdash;was a struggle to regain lost lands. in 1012, jaromÃ­r was dethroned by oldÅich (who had him blinded) and forced once again into exile. in a surprise campaign, jaromÃ­r in turn managed to depose oldÅich (1033), but his second reign was short-lived. a year later oldÅich was restored by his son bretislaus i. jaromÃ­r was imprisoned at lysÃ¡ nad labem and died (assassinated by one of the vrÅ¡ovci) in 1035, a year after the death of his brother. ==ancestry==      {{succession box|title=duke of bohemia|before=boleslaus iv|after=[[oldÅich of bo
