Wenceslaus I of Bohemia
According to legends, Queen Kunigunde, the wife of King Wenceslaus I of Bohemia, was returning from Červený Hradec (today Hradec Králové) to Prague and abruptly gave birth to Ottokar II of Bohemia, the most powerful king of the Přemyslid Dynasty, in Městec Králové. Ottokar II rewarded his assumed birthplace by a lion on its coats of arms and some privileges reserved for royal towns.
