Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsOne of the joys of my life is that I never had any interest in having a Vratislavian mistress.
This makes me feel slightly superior to Matthias Corvinus, King of Bohemia, who, according to this history of Wrocław, did have such a mistress, a Vratislavian one.
I have very little information to offer about Vratslavia, other than apparently, according to the internet, they make very good watches. Whether King Matthias's girlfriend had a watch, I cannot say.
I have no idea why it is important to mention, in a history of Wrocław, that Mattias Corvinus had a Vratislavian mistress, but it's kind of fun that who ever wrote the article did so.
Drifting aimlessly around the internet can expose one to the most wondrous arcana.
