Biagota(bornc.920)[1]was probably the wife of dukeBoleslaus I of Bohemia.[2]
Michal Lutovský writes in his bookBratrovrah a tvůrce státu(Fratricide and country-maker) that only a few coins confirm the existence of Biagota.
These coins are considered the oldest type of Přemysliddenar.An inscription can be read on them, BIAGOTACOIIIIX or BIAGOTACOVIIX, meaningBIAGOTA CONIVNX:wife Biagota.Possibly these coins were made on the occasion of marriage, but there is no proof for it.
It is not certain that Biagota was the mother of all four adult children of Boleslaus I (Dobrawa,Boleslaus II of Bohemia,Strachkvas,andMlada of Bohemia). Her origins are unclear. She could have originated from one of the German states of theHoly Roman Empireor from a Slavic country (Blahota or Bjegota was an oldBulgarianname). Both hypotheses could be right, corresponding to the contemporary practice of European rulers.
