Background
Šárka first appeared in the traditional Bohemian tale of the Maidens' War.
In the 9th century AD, the Czech queen Libuše assembled a royal gyard composed entirely of young women. The captain of the guard was a renowned female Czech warrior, Vlasta. After Libuše's death, Vlasta led a troop of women ("The Maidens") against the patriarchal forces of Libuše's husband. Šárka served as Vlasta's deputy commander.
According to legend, Šárka set a trap by tying herself to a tree. When found by the enemy soldiers, she claimed that the Maidens had tied her there. After winning their trust, Šárka added a sleeping potion to a jug of mead and poured a cup for each man as a sign of thanks. Once the men were fast asleep, she signaled the resf of the Maidens to come out of hiding and slaughter the men.
