It was he who, together with his wife Svatava Polska, turned Vyšehrad into a symbol of the power of the Přemyslov family. King Vratislav II will come to the Royal Precinct in the Vyšehrad Gardens as part of the event. twice, accompanied by his large entourage. In addition to his ceremonial welcome, visitors can expect a troupe parade, battle demonstrations and the opportunity to involve their children in medieval training.
