Slavic people from the Black Sea-Carpathian region settled in Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) (a movement that was also stimulated by the onslaught of peoples from Siberia and Eastern Europe: Huns, Avars, Bulgars and Magyars). In the sixth century they moved southwards into Bohemia, Moravia and some of present day Austria as you can see in Ancient Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) map. During the 7th century, the Frankish merchant Samo, supporting the Slavs fighting their Avar rulers, became the ruler of the first known Slav state in Central Europe. The Moravian principality arose in the 8th century and reached its zenith in the 9th, when it held off the influence of the Franks and won the protection of the Pope. The Bohemian or Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) state emerged in the late 9th century, when it was unified by the Přemyslid dynasty. The ancient Kingdom of Bohemia was, as the only kingdom in the Holy Roman Empire, a significant regional power during the Middle Ages. It was part of the Empire from 1002 till 1806, with the exception of years 1440–1526.

In 1212, King Přemysl Otakar I, bearing the title "king" since 1198, extracted a Golden Bull of Sicily (a formal edict) from the ancient emperor, confirming the royal title for Otakar and his descendants and the Duchy of Bohemia was raised to a kingdom. The German immigration occurred in Bohemian periphery in 13th century as its shown in Ancient Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) map. The Germans populated towns and mining districts and, in some cases, formed German colonies in the interior of the Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) lands. In 1235, the mighty Mongol army launched an invasion of Europe. After the Battle of Legnica, the Mongols carried their devastating raid into Moravia, but they were beaten by the Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) royal army in a battle of Olomouc and continued into Hungarian lands. King Přemysl Otakar II earned the nickname "Iron and Golden King" because of his military power and wealth. He acquired Austria, Styria, Carinthia and Carniola, thus spreading the Bohemian territory to the Adriatic Sea.

The 14th century, particularly the reign of Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) King Charles IV, who became also King of Italy, King of the Romans and Holy Roman Emperor, is considered the Golden Age of Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) history. Of particular significance was the founding of Charles University in Prague in 1348, Charles Bridge, Charles Square and were completed much of the Prague Castle and cathedral of Saint Vitus as its mentioned in Ancient Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) map. The Black Death, which had raged in Europe from 1347 to 1352, decimated the Kingdom of Bohemia in 1380, killing about 10% of the population. In the 15th century, the religious and social reformer Jan Hus formed a movement later named after him. Although Hus was named a heretic and burnt in Constanz in 1415, his followers seceded from the Catholic Church and in the Hussite Wars (1419–1434) defeated five crusades organized against them by the ancient Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund. Petr Chelčický continued with Czech Hussite Reformation movement. During the next two centuries, 90% of the inhabitants became adherents of the Hussite Christian movement.
