Ottocar II

Hmm, why exactly? And AFAIK Bohemia was only insofar germanized as many Germans immigrated.

Actually, no. There was a lot of unclear nationality before the 19th century. I know people with german names, and they are not just Czechs with german names- they are actual Czechi-fied Germans. Several prominent Czech nationalists came from German families, funny world, isn't it?

Royalty versus nobility- Czech nobility was fairly average of the time. You know keeping the young prince imprisoned, running country as your personal piggy bank, all that while shagging prince's mother?

So what does royalty to punish them? Why, give their land to german settlers of course.

OTL the Hussite wars displaced the 15 percent of the Bohemian population that was German and it won't be untill 1621 that German minority will be again visible in Bohemia, and that was after two-thirds of populatins were killed, leaving entire regions empty for new German settlers.

We will lose the struggle, maintain large old German populations and not going to see Czech dominated university...
 
Okay some more ideas thrown to wind-

Brandenburg- Przemyslid ally, later Luxembrug possesion, eventually awarded to good vassal...

Spain- no Habsburgs, if butterflies don't bent it out shape, who comes instead of Karl V?
