Titles

The Bohemian Poděbrady family (Czech: Páni z Poděbrad) was a noble lineage in Bohemia, originating from the Lords of Kunštát. After Boček of Kunštát (d. 1373) obtained the Lordship of Poděbrady through marriage, he styled himself "Boček of Kunštát and Poděbrady." The most prominent member of the family was George of Poděbrady, king of Bohemia. His sons were elevated to imperial counts and Counts of Glatz, and established the Silesian branch of the family, the Dukes of Münsterberg (Knížata z Minsterberka).
