› Date of death
Wenceslaus died around 1431, after accidentally shooting himself while handling a gun without precaution. He died unmarried and childless; for this, all his lands were inherited by his brother, Henry IX.
However, the legacy of Wenceslaus, both as a Christian ruler and as a victim of fratricide, only grew stronger after his death. In the years following his assassination, his reputation as a pious and benevolent ruler grew, and he was soon venerated as a martyr and a saint.
