| Description | The monks of the Pegau Monastery, founded in 1091 by the Saxon magnate Wiprecht of Groitzsch, did not store the details of their founders and benefactors only in monastic records and chronicles but also in a Necrologium, which was preserved to date in a copy from the turn of the 13th century in the codes of the Leipzig University library (UB Leipzig, Ms 848). A significant place in the list of deceased belonged to the Přemyslid dynasty. The founder of the monastery himself was a close counsellor and a son-in-law of the Czech duke and king Vratislaus II. The Pegau monastery recorded in the Necrologium the death of 12 members of the Přemyslid's family. The article adverts to the 5 forgotten records abaut the death of Přemyslids and to the illumination with the paiting of a king in the fragment of the original Necrologium from Pegau (now ÖNB Wien, Cod. 135). |
