Gostivit ( czech Hostivít ) is the last of the seven legendary Czech princes - descendants of the legendary founder of the Pr Прmysłowice Přemysl Pahar dynasty , who ruled until the first historically authentic Prince Borzhivoy I. The names of these princes are first encountered in the Czech Chronicle of Kozma Prague , from where they were found in most historical works up to the work of the 19th century by Frantisek Palacki, “The History of the Czech People in Bohemia and Moravia” . According to tradition, he was the father of Prince Borzhivoy. Some historians believe that when Saint Lyudmila was born, Gostivit (or the Prince of Moravia Svyatopolk I ) and father Lyudmila Slavibor agreed that Lyudmila and Borzhivoy should get married (which may correspond to the record for 871 in the Fulda annals , which describes the marriage ceremony with an unknown bride) [ 1] . According to the Dalimil Chronicle , Hostivit had a brother, Depolt, who inherited the land around Kourimim [2] .

According to one theory, the number of princes corresponds to the image on the frescoes on the walls of the rotunda in Znojmo in Moravia. However, Anezhka Merhautova claims that all the representatives of the Premysloviches dynasty, including the junior princes of Moravia, are depicted on the fresco [3] .

Origin of Name
The name “Gostivit” comes from the Old Slavic words “guests” and “soar”, which means to welcome. Hidden Calender believed that the names of the seven princes were encrypted Old Slavic names of the days of the week - Gostivit was the seventh day of the week - Saturday , when invited guests [4] . According to another theory, this name is due to an error in a damaged ancient Slavic manuscript [5] .
