Hi Bob!
Wenceslaus it was! Correct, +3

His brother Boleslav duke of Bohemia as part of a Pagan backlash.
And the tune of the song was borrowed form the popular English tune "tempus adest floridum".
There is an Arthur type legend connected with him he is asleep in mount Blaník, and will rise with an army when his country needs him.

I thought 'Imagine' was just Lenin and Yoko, not Beatles??

Lenin?
That's why I added "or related". Since that was an afterthought, it didn't come out as very clear, sorry!
