Good King Wenceslas was the Duke of Bohemia, patron saint of Czech Republic, and born in the castle of Stochov near Prague around the year 907.
The actual carol "Good King Wenceslas" came about because Wenceslas was particularly caring towards children, doing what he could to help orphans. Thus in 1853 he was chosen by lyricist John Mason Neale as the subject of a Christmas carol which would give the example of generosity and high principles. The melody is from a 13th century song called "Tempus Adest Floridum," or "Spring Has Unwrapped Her Flowers."
