ABSTRACT
King Vaclav suffered a stroke at around the hour of vespers and died suddenly with ‘a great shouting and roaring like a lion’ in Novy Hrad [New Castle] near Prague. After several days, because of fear of the people, his body was brought during the night to Prague Castle and laid in the chapel of St. Vaclav, of the Czechs, and after a few weeks was brought, in a most pathetic manner, during the nighttime to Zbraslav, to a monastery called Aula Regia.
