Vojtěch's father was [[Slavník]] (d. 978–981), a duke ruling a province centred at Libice.{{sfn|Cosmas of Prague|2009|pp=77–78}} His mother was [[Střezislava]] (d. 985–987),{{sfn|Cosmas of Prague|2009|pp=77–78}} and according to David Kalhous belonged to the [[Přemyslid dynasty]].{{sfn|Kalhous|2015|p=10}} He had five brothers: [[Soběslav (d. 1004)|Soběslav]], Spytimír, Dobroslav, Pořej, and Čáslav.{{sfn|Cosmas of Prague|2009|p=81}} Cosmas also refers to Radim (later [[Radim Gaudentius|Gaudentius]]) as a brother;{{sfn|Cosmas of Prague|2009|pp=87, 156}} who is believed to have been a half-brother by his father's liaison with another woman. After he survived a grave illness in childhood, his parents decided to dedicate him to the service of God. Adalbert was well educated, having studied for approximately ten years (970–80) in [[Magdeburg]] under [[Adalbert of Magdeburg]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/Saints/Saint.aspx?id=1910,|title=St. Adalbert of Prague {{!}} Saint of the Day {{!}} AmericanCatholic.org|date=2016-03-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304053145/http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/Saints/Saint.aspx?id=1910,|archive-date=2016-03-04|access-date=2018-03-22}}</ref> The young Vojtěch took his tutor's name "Adalbert" at his [[Confirmation]].
