Saint Ludmila of Bohemia was a 9th-century Czech aristocrat and the wife of Bořivoj I, the first Christian Duke of Bohemia. Born in Mělník around 860, she and her husband embraced Christianity through the influence of Methodius. After a period of exile due to pagan opposition, the couple returned to rule before retiring to Tetín. As the grandmother and regent for her grandson, Saint Wenceslaus, she played a central role in the early Christianization of the region.
