Legend Legend of of the the princess princess Libu e Libussa Lubushe
Libue is said to have been the youngest daughter of the equally mythical Czech ruler Krok. The legend says that she was the wisest of the three sisters. Libu e had the gift of seeing the future. Her father chose her to be his successor, to judge over the people. The legend says that Libu e is the one who predicted the city Prague when she said: I see a great city whose glory will touch the stars.
Although she proved herself as a wise chieftain, the male part of the tribe was displeased that their ruler was a woman and demanded that she marry, but she had fallen in love with a ploughman, P emysl.
She therefore related a vision in which she saw a farmer with one broken sandal, ploughing a field, or in other versions of the legend, eating from an iron table. She instructed her councilmen to seek out this man by letting a horse loose at a junction; they followed it to the village of Stadice and found P emysl exactly as she had said.
The two grandees who found P emysl brought him to the princely palace where Libu e married him, and P emysl the Ploughman thus became ruler. They went on to have three sons: Radobyl, Lidomir, and Nezamysl who continued the P emyslid dynasty in the Czech lands.
