Oldrich (also Ulrich or Oldrich) (ca. 975 – 11 November 1034) was the duke of Bohemia from 1012 to 1033 and briefly in 1034. He was a son of Boleslaus II and brother of Boleslaus III and Jaromir.

Oldrich deposed Jaromir on 12 April 1012 and recognised the suzerainty of the Holy Roman Emperor. Discarding his wife on the grounds that they were childless, Oldrich married a peasant woman known as Bozena. Oldrich and his son Bretislaus sought to win back Moravia from the Poles and in 1029 Bretislaus drove the Poles out of the eastern lands. Bretislaus' efforts in Slovakia against Hungary failed in 1030 because of the jealousy of the Emperor Conrad II. In the following year, Czech forces refused to take the field for the emperor.

In 1032, Oldrich was invited to the Diet of Merseburg and did not appear. His absence raised the ire of the emperor and Conrad, busy with events in Burgundy, charged his son Henry VI, Duke of Bavaria, with punishing the recalcitrant Bohemian. Oldrich made subjection and was deposed and sent to Bavaria. He was replaced by Jaromir, but he in turn was captured, blinded, and deposed by Oldrich, who seized power again and drove out Jaromir's son from Moravia. Oldrich died abruptly on 9 November 1034 and later examination of his skeleton reveal his skull to have suffered a fatal blow. Jaromir then renounced the throne in favour of Bretislaus.

Oldrich (deutsch auch Udalrich) († 9. November 1034) war von 1012 bis 1034 Herzog von Böhmen.

Oldrich war der dritte Sohn von Boleslav II. und seiner Frau Hemma. Vor seinem Bruder Boleslav III. floh er mit seiner Mutter und dem zweiten Bruder Jaromír nach Regensburg und kehrte 1004 mit diesem nach Böhmen zurück. Am 12. Mai 1012 setzte er im Einvernehmen mit König Heinrich II. seinen Bruder als Herzog ab. Er akzeptierte zunächst den römisch-deutschen König bzw. Kaiser als Lehnsherr über Böhmen, versuchte aber später mehrfach, sich aus der Abhängigkeit vom Kaiser zu lösen. In diese Herrschaftsphase fiel eine leichte Konsolidierung des von Unruhen erschütterten Böhmen. Im Jahr 1033 wurde er zum Hoftag in Merseburg vorgeladen, erschien dort aber nicht. Daraufhin nahm ihn der Sohn von Kaiser Konrad II., der spätere Kaiser Heinrich III., gefangen, der Kaiser ließ ihn absetzen und ernannte Jaromír wieder zum Fürsten. Oldrich wurde im folgenden Jahr begnadigt, kehrte nach Böhmen zurück und ließ Jaromír gefangen nehmen und blenden. Auch seinen Sohn Bretislav I., der vom Kaiser mit Mähren belehnt worden war, ließ er vertreiben, starb aber schon kurze Zeit später am 9. November 1034.

The Legend of Prince Oldrich and Božena

Legend has it that in bygone days, sometime at the very beginning of the 2nd millennium, near the small town of Peruc, not far from the River Ohre in the vicinity of Louny, Prince Oldrich was hunting for deer in the local dark, deep forests. Near a well, he spotted a glamorous girl washing linen ("perúc prádlo" - hence the name of the small town, at least according to a version provided by the chronicler Václav Hájek from Libocany). The arrow of love hit the prince's heart. Oldrich, however, was a married man and Božena was most probably married as well (the chronicler has it that "she was Kresina's"). At that time, however, as the famous chronicler Kosmas maintains, it was a shame if one threw in one's lot with one woman for good. Never tired of seeing "a young woman with a complexion whiter and shinier than ivory", Oldrich took Božena away and married her. Their deep, mutual love brought great benefits to the country as the Achilles of Bohemia, the future Prince Bretislav I, was born out of this union. Thanks to Božena, the famous Premyslid ruling dynasty was spared the shame of dying out in the male line.
