Dúbravka PŘEMYSLID of Bohemia
- Born: Between 940 and 945, Praha, Bohemia
- Married: 965
- Died: 977
 Orthographic variations: Dobrava, Dobroslawa
Research Notes:
Thietmar names "the sister of Boleslav the Elder…Dobrawa" as the wife of Mieszko of Poland. Bearing in mind that Dobrawa gave birth to [four] children, it is unlikely that she was born much earlier than [940/45]. The Annales Kamenzenses record that "Mesco…rex Polanorum" married "Danbrovcam filiam ducis Boemie" in 965. The Chronica principum Polonie records that "Mesico" married "christianisimam mulierem de Bohemia, Dubraucam" in 966 and converted to Christianity. The Chronicæ Polanorum names "unam christianissimam de Bohemia Dubrovcam nomine" as wife of "Meschonem". Her marriage was arranged to confirm the alliance between her father and her prospective husband. After her arrival in Poland, she converted Prince Mieszko to Christianity and was instrumental in the conversion of the whole country in 966.
The Chronica Boemorum records the death in 977 of "Dubrauca" wife of "Poloniensi duci". 1
