In 1019, Moravia was captured by Bretislav I of Bohemia, who was then serving as a prince under his father, Oldrich. Bretislav ruled Moravia until 1035, whereupon he succeeded his father as duke of Bohemia. At that time, Bretislav organized his dynasty. His eldest son, and heir, would rule the traditional territories of Bohemia, while his other sons ruled Moravia, which was divided between them as quasi-independant principalities. Ota was given the strategically important town of Brno and its surroundings.
