Přemysl and Libuše Countess Libuše, Čech's grand daughter, ruled the Czech people after the death of her father Krok. She was gifted with prophetic powers and foresaw the founding of Prague. She resided at Vyšehrad and in one of her prophetic moments declared: "I see a large city whose fame touches the stars." She then sent builders into the woods where they found a man making a threshold (práh) which also gave a name to the new city (ie Praha). Once, when presiding over her court, she made a decision between two brothers. The one in whose disfavor she had decided, proclaimed: "Sorry are the men who let themselves be ruled by a woman!" Libuše became angry and promised the men a firm rule by a man. She sent a delegation to her secret lover Přemysl to call him to become the king of the Czechs. Přemysl was a farmer and the delegation led by Libuše's horse found him plowing his fields. That's why he is known as Přemysl Oráč (the Plower). Thus the Přemyslid dynasty ruling the Czech lands for over 300 years was founded.
