Bohemia is in Central Europe and is part of the present Czech rebublic. Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic or Slovakian state. ( Eastern Europe was indeed restructured after the fall of Soviet Structuring.) The song is unusual among Christmas songs for the following reason. It is written in the past tense, All of the action seems low-key and there is something morbid about it. It is an historical fact That Wenceslaus, for whom the song was named, was assassinated! Whether this took place on the day after Christmas ( the feast of Steven, who WAS a martyr!) is not known. The song has a rather weak denouement that never mentions the King and his aide ( in some versions it"s a female aide de camp!) returning to the Palace after their good deed. Near Prague, in Bohemia (now part of Czechoslovakia)

Saint Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia (907-935), was not actually a king. However, after his death the king of the Ottoman Empire conferred the title on him. There was also a King Wenceslaus I of Bohemia who lived three centuries later but he has no relevance to the Christmas Carol.

Good King Wenceslas was the King of Bohemia, which sits more or less in the territory of the current Czech Republic.
