Duchy of Troppau
The
Principality of Opava
or
Duchy of Troppau
was a historic territory split off from the
Margraviate of Moravia
before 1269 by King
Ottokar II of Bohemia
to provide for his natural son,
Nicholas I
. The Opava territory thus had not been part of the original Polish
Duchy of Silesia
in 1138, and was first ruled by an illegitimate offshoot of the Bohemian
Premyslid dynasty
, not by the
Silesian Piasts
like many of the neighbouring
Silesian duchies
. Its capital was
Opava
(
Troppau
) in the modern day
Czech Republic
.
