He was a Bohemian Czech, venerated as Saint Wenceslaus in the Czech Republic to this day. He was never actually King of anywhere, but was Duke of Bohemia and had the "regal dignity and title" conferred on him (posthumously) by the Holy Roman Emperor Otto I - thus the legend surrounding his name refers to him as "King".
