Saint Ludmila , first Duchess of Bohemia, wife of Bořivoj I , progenitress of Czech rulers and also their wives.
This is a list of the royal consorts of the rulers of Bohemia .
The first Duchess of Bohemia (česká kněžna ) was St. Ludmila , while the first Queen of Bohemia (česká královna ) was Świętosława of Poland . Some of them were (like their husbands) not crowned.
There was only one queen regnant in Czech history - Maria Theresa . Nevertheless, some female royal consorts were highly influential in the country's history, having ruled as regents for their minor children and heirs, as well as having a great influence over their spouses.
The title was used until 1918, when husband of the last queen was deposed.
