Czech historians have long been aware of the information, otherwise unknown to domestic historians, that the testament of Duke Přemek of Opava (1366-1433) refers to his third wife Jelena (Helena) as the “successor of the Bosnian crown”. The title of this woman, formulated in this way, served as a basis for one German historian of art to think that she was a daughter of a Bosnian ruler. According to this, the son that she had with the Czech nobleman would also be the grandson of the Bosnian King who could claim his right to the throne of the Bosnian Kingdom. Since Czech heraldists and historians accepted his thesis, the author uses results of Czech historiography to present details about this story and additionally questions the grounds for some assumptions introduced about the heirs of a Bosnian ruler in the Czech lands.
