Brethertons Solicitors is one of the oldest firms of solicitors in Rugby and was founded by Count William Ferdinand Wratislaw in 1810, a Bohemian nobleman related to Good King Wenceslas.
Beside their home County of Luxembourg itself, the dynasty held further non-contiguous Imperial fiefs in the Low Countries, such as the duchies of Brabant and Limburg, acquired through marriage by Charles' younger half-brother Wenceslaus of Luxembourg in 1355 as well as the Margraviate of Brandenburg purchased in 1373.
The palace chapel is two stories high and richly decorated with scenes from the legend of St Wenceslas.

Its construction was ordered by Wenceslaus I of Bohemia, in the middle of 13th century (1241–1247).
The legend is based on the life of the historical Saint Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia or Svatý Václav in Czech (907–935).
It is named for the mountain Blaník inside which a legend says that a huge army of knights led by St. Wenceslas sleep.
Wenceslas is not to be confused with King Wenceslaus I of Bohemia (Wenceslaus I Premyslid), who lived more than three centuries later.
The common government of Wenceslaus I's sons lasted until 1474, when was made the formal division of the Duchy in two parts: Jan V, together with Władysław, received the western part of Skawa River.
