Why they strangled St. Ludmila, the grandmother of St. Wencelas?

I have read the wikipedia version, but I am not sure whether it can be trusted. And it sounds weird to me.

(there is written that it was an order from his mother, because St. Ludmila had a big influence on him, and his mother didn't like that)

It's odd in the sense that little detail is available but then again that's not necessarily odd at all. The sources you have are then, by de facto, the primary available.

What's not odd; is that a royal murdered or ordered it, on another royal.

Consequently, the theory of influence and jealousy is probably the best available...and that's not new in royal houses either.

Amen.

Though the origins of strangulation of royal foes is lost, it is known as punishment for a royal foe.
What a handsome figure of a dragon. No wonder I fall madly in love with the Alani Dragon now, the avatar, it's a gorgeous dragon picture.
