Ludmilla Jankovská von Lazan wife of Baron Jindřich Jankovský z Vlašimi of Château Rešice in Moravia. Daughter of Jana Jiøího a Judith Bechinie z Lažan

Notes: Carolus Wenzeslaus Jankoffsky Swedish history

Prince Karl Gustav (Karl Gustav von Pfalz-Zweibrücken) and Baroness Ludmilla (Ludmilla Bechyňové z Lažan) meet each other during Karl Gustav's participation in The Thirty Year War in Moravia. They had an affair at Château Tovačově and Horní Moštěnici in 1643.

Ludmila gave birth to son Karl Vaclav (Carolus Wenzeslaus) in Znojmo, Moravia in 1644.

After the Battle of Jankov in 1645, Prince Karl Gustav brought Karl Vaclav back with him to Sweden. Prince Karl Gustav paid for his education and the young Karl lived with his father on the Isle of Öland.

In 1649 the widow Ludmila needing financial aid sent a letter to Prince Karl Gustav in Sweden asking for support for herself and her two daughters Elisabeth and Maximiliana Dorothea Jankovská z Vlašimi (Sweden, a letter, dated April 19th, 1649).

In 1653 Ludmila along with Jindrich's brother Vilem made unsuccessful claim for the Bitov Estates.

Prior to becoming King of Sweden in 1654 Karl Gustav returned young Karl Vaclav to his mother Ludmila in Moravia.

After Ludmila's death in 1655 Karl X Gustav, King of Sweden, intervened in King's Tribunal in support of Karl Vaclav (Instructions Royal Tribunal in Brno dated January 12th,1656). Karl Vaclav was granted Coat of Arms, the title Baron Jankovský z Vlašimi and the ownership of the Rešice estate.
