DVUR KRALOVE, a town of north-east Bohemia, Czecho slovakia, on the left bank of the Elbe. It is a very old city founded by King Wenceslas II. of Bohemia in the 13th century and given by him to his wife, thus deriving its name (the court of the queen). During the Hussite and Austro-Prussian Wars, owing to its important strategic site, it suffered severely. The fertile basin around produces cereals, the basis of its brewing and flour-milling industries, and the town also shares in the cotton weaving of the neighbouring highland valleys. Pop. (1930), 16, 588. The town became widely known as a result of the supposed discovery by the notorious Vaclav Hanka in 1817 of a 13th century ms. containing epic and lyric poems in Czech. Critics, headed by Gebauer and Masaryk, have recently proved con clusively that the ms. is a forgery.
