Valasca led a female rebellion against the rule of
Přemysl after the death of
Libuše. On the death of Libuše ca. 738, Valasca, one of Libussa(Libuše)'s favourite henchwomen, seized power and created a
state ruled by women. She decreed that only women were to receive military training and that boys were to be maimed to render them unable to fight by removal of the right eye and thumb. She was slain by Primislaus(
Přemysl) in battle after seven years of rule, at which point men regained power. Her headquarters were traditionally believed to have been located in
Dívčí Hrad ("The Virgin’s Castle") on Mount Vidovole. ==In popular culture==
