Summary
The latest episode of Blood in Bohemia, presented in the weekend edition of Czechia in 30 Minutes, explores one of the darkest episodes of early Czech history. British journalist Rob Cameron and Vít Pohanka discuss the remarkable life of Duke Jaromír—a Přemyslid prince who survived castration, decades of imprisonment and blinding, only to meet a violent end. Together with medieval historian Jan Zelenka, they examine what this extraordinary story reveals about power, violence and the making of the early Czech state.
