Adiva (fl. c. 10th century CE) was the first wife of Boleslaus II of Bohemia.[1] It has been speculated that she was the progeny of Edward the Elder, King of England, and his second wife Aelfflaed, but the evidence for this is weak.[2] Favouring the conjecture is the similarity of her name to certain Anglo-Saxon forms, and the introduction of English-influenced coinage into Bohemia. Nevertheless, since there are a handful of other possible candidates, the evidence for the hypothesis must be counted insufficient.
She and Boleslaus had the following children:
- Boleslaus III of Bohemia
- Wenceslaus (died as an infant)
- Jaromir of Bohemia
- Oldrich of Bohemia
