John of Bohemia

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

John of Bohemia (1296–1346)

King of Bohemia from 1310. When the royal houses of Bavaria and Austria were contending for the Imperial crown, John secured the prize for the former by his victory at Muhldorf in 1322. For two years (1333–35) he fought in Italy against the Ghibellines, and eventually met his death at Crecy, where, despite the onset of blindness, he was supporting the French king. John increasingly left the administration of Bohemia, which had expanded through the acquisition of Silesia from Poland, to his eldest son, Charles IV, whom he also helped to the Imperial crown.
