history
In the 9th century there was a county of Dudleben in the Principality of Lower Pannonia . It is unclear whether the area in Bohemia was meant. In regional historiography , it is usually (erroneously?) Assigned to a presumed territory in southern Styria, where a place Dudleipin was mentioned once in 861 .
Around 943, the Arab scholar al-Masudi mentioned a tribe of the Dulaba alongside other tribes, including the Stodorans . Its prince was called Waničslaf . In historical research he was mostly identified with King Wenceslaus of Bohemia . Doudleby Castle, owned by the Slavnikid prince Slavnik, was mentioned for the first time in 961 . The place was interpreted as the center of the Duleben area. In 1461 a Provincia Dudleben was mentioned.
Other mentions of an alleged tribe of the Dudleben are not known.
