Lands of the Bohemian Crown
Note: These three "lands" are roughly the territory of the modern Czech Republic and were called the "Lands of the Crown of St. Wenceslas," over which the ruler of Austria (1527 to 1867 a purely dynastic, rather than territorial, title) ruled in his capacity as king of Bohemia and, margrave of Moravia, and duke of Upper and Lower Silesia.
