Today is a public holiday in the Czech Republic. Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia was killed by his brother Boleslaus on this day back in 936 (or possibly 929), yet it is still a good reason to enjoy a three day weekend. No wonder they call him Good King Wenceslas…
they like him so much that besides calling him “Good King Wenceslas” they even keep his skull and expose it in a parade
935, not 936
