Question types: Put houses and rulers in order · Which house was the ruler from?

Rule: Czech dynasties and rulers

The Premyslids (until 1306), the Luxembourgs (1310–1437), the Jagiellons (1471–1526), the Habsburgs (from 1526).

Ottokar II – Premyslids, Charles IV – Luxembourgs, Rudolf II and Maria Theresa – Habsburgs.

Example: George of Podebrady (1458–1471) belonged to none of these houses.

Watch out: Charles IV was a Luxembourg, not a Premyslid, although his mother Elizabeth was a Premyslid.
