Question

Digs in the south of this subnational historical region near the gord of Pohansko found a rune-marked rib from 600 CE, which may corroborate “strokes and incisions” described by Chernorizets Hrabar (“chair-no-REE-zets huh-RAH-bar”). This region named a “gate” on the Amber Road and a state that possibly expelled Pribina from Nitra. The bull Industriae tuae (10[1])(“in-DUSS-tree-ay TOO-ay”) protected that state named for this region, which was invaded by Louis the German after it received a mission from Photios I. John Amos Comenius fled the margraviate named for this region, whose diaspora founded Hernnhut (-5[1])and led 18th-century missions (10[1]-5[1])for this region’s Unity of the Brethren. After the fall of (10[1])Samo’s realm, Rastislav and Svatopluk (10[3])led a “great” (10[2]-5[1])9th-century state named for this (10[2])region, (10[1]-5[1])for which Cyril and Methodius (-5[1])created the Glagolitic (10[1])alphabet. For 10 points, Brno (-5[1])is the cultural capital of what Czech (10[1])region between Silesia (10[1])and Bohemia? (10[1])■END■ (10[5]0[4])
