Ottokar Fischer, a lesser-known figure in history, gained prominence as the advisor to Austrian diplomats Count von Czernin and Richard von Kuhlmann during the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in 1276. This treaty marked the end II of Bohemia's expansionist ambitions in Germany, as he paid homage to Rudolph I, King of Germany. However, Ottokar's desire for power did not wane, and he went on to challenge Rudolph in the Battle on Marchfeld in 1278. The battle resulted in Rudolph's victory, solidifying his hold on the German throne. Fast forward to the 19th century, Count Ottokar von Czernin emerged as a prominent Austro-Hungarian politician and diplomat, serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs. He and Richard von Kuhlmann negotiated the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk once again, this time during World War I. The name Ottokar resurfaced in the early 20th century when Harry Price, a renowned psychic investigator, claimed to have contacted the spirit II of Bohemia during a séance. Price claimed that Ottokar revealed details about his past life, including his military campaigns and his submission to Rudolph I. Despite the supernatural claims, the historical significance Fischer and Ottokar II of Bohemia remains undeniable. Their stories serve as a reminder of the complex political landscape of medieval Europe and the enduring impact of diplomacy and military strategy.
