The Luxembourgs and King Charles IV
After the death of Wenceslas III, the last king of the Přemyslids, several kings supplanted each other as head of state, but none could consolidate their position. Certain members of the nobility and the abbots, who were dissatisfied with the reign of Jindřich Korutanský, concocted a coup. They deposed the king with the agreement of Emperor Henry VII of Luxembourg. The emperor consented to the marriage of his son John to Elizabeth (Eliška), the as-yet-unmarried sister of the last Přemyslid king. Thus, John of Luxembourg became King of Bohemia from 1310 to 1346.
