Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostiv%C3%ADt
Hostivít was the last of the seven Bohemian mythical princes between the (also 
mythical) founder of the Premyslid dynasty Premysl the Ploughman and the first 
historical prince Borivoj. The names of the princes were first recorded in Cosmas 
chronicle and then transmitted into the most of historical books of the 19th century 
including František Palacký's The History of the Czech Nation in Bohemia and 
Moravia. According to tradition, he was the father of the non-legendary prince Borivoj. 
Some historians suppose that when St. Ludmila was born, Hostivít (or Svatopluk I of 
Moravia) and Ludmila's father, Slavibor, contracted that Borivoj and Ludmilla would 
get married (that can refer to the wedding procession of an unknown bride mentioned 
in Annales Fuldenses for 871.[1] According to the Chronicle of Dalimil, Hostivít had a 
brother called Depolt who inherited the land of Kourim.[2]

One theory about the number of the princes is propped on the frescoes on the walls of 
the Rotunda in Znojmo, Moravia but Anežka Merhautová claimed that the frescoes 
depict all the members of the Premyslid dynasty including the Moravian junior princes.

Origin of the name[edit]

Hostivít's name is thought to be derived from the old Slavonic words "hosti" meaning 
guests and "vítat" meaning to welcome. Záviš Kalandra thought the names of the 
seven princes were cryptical names of ancient Slavonic days of the week - Hostivít 
being the seventh - Saturday when the guests are welcome.[4] Another theory says 
that the names were mistaken from a coherent and partly interrupted old Slavonic 
text.[5]
