NIKOLAUS, illegitimate son of OTAKAR PŘEMYSL King of Bohemia & his mistress --- ([1255]-25 Jul 1318). The Chronica Pragensis (Chronicon Francisci) names "filium…Nicolaum, et postea filias plures" as the children of "Rex Przsemysl" and his mistress named "Palczierzik", adding that he was later invested as "Dux Oppauiæ"[659]. Pulkawa’s Bohemian Chronicle records (in 1252) “filiam de Kunring de Austria” as mistress of “Przemysl filius regis Wenceslai” and mother of “filium...Nicolauum...postea...ducem Opaviensem” and of “postea tres filias” who married “unam...domino de Strakonicz, secundam de Wartemberg et de Druholz, tertiam...Vockoni de Krawau”[660]. Friess suggests that Pulkawa’s identification of Otakar’s mistress results from confusion with another source that the king’s daughter married “Heinrich V von Kuenring-Weitra”[661]. He was legitimated 6 Oct 1260, but excluded from succession to the throne of Bohemia 20 Oct 1260. Herr von Troppau 4 Jul 1269. Ritter 1273. He was installed in 1281 as NIKOLAUS I Duke of Troppau. The Gesta Hungarorum records that "rex Otakarus…filius…eius dux Nicolaus" was captured at the battle in which his father was killed and taken to Hungary[662].
married (1283, consecrated 8 Feb 1285) ADELHEID von Habsburg, [663][niece of RUDOLF I Graf von Habsburg King of Germany], daughter of --- (-1313). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.
Duke Nikolaus & his wife ADELHEID von Habsburg had three children
