Not Bohemia. The German dynasty who ended up holding the title "king of bohemia" held other titles in parallel. The crucial thing to understand that each of these holdings was a separate state with separate institutions. It just happened that their head of government was the same person. So if Bohemia was to call a parliament or whatever, it would have no authority in the other realms.

Meanwhile: Habsburgs *_Bella gerant alii, tu felix Austria nube_** - ‘Let others wage war: thou, happy Austria, marry’. This famous saying is invariably quoted when the rise of the Habsburgs is put down to the success of their dynastic marriage policy, in which young archdukes and archduchesses were frequently married off as children to members of other dynasties, or indeed to relatives of their own.* *Emperor Maximilian I is credited with the greatest success in the implementation of this policy - through his own marriage and those of his son Philip the Fair and his grandson Ferdinand, the dynasty gained Burgundy, Spain, Bohemia, and Hungary. However, the famous saying ignores the many strokes of luck that contributed to the rise of the Habsburgs - and also the fact that their gains were by no means always achieved without loss of blood. Wars were an equally important element of Habsburg policy as marriages.*

Fascinating the way diplomacy has evolved-- from arranged marriage to having a person to represent a specific country. One must also consider the advances in modern technology, which makes it a lot easier to handle major concerns and problems.

@richyhu2042

I'd argue that social changes played a bigger part than technology. You have to remember for much of history the concept of nationalism as we know wasn't really a thing. The King of France was seen as the nation of France. But once we got nationalism as a concept and the idea that a nation is made up of its citizens and not its leader, we didn't really have one person to stick a political marriage on since (especially after republics and democratic voting became more widespread) the person you're marrying for political power might not even be in power in five years.

Modern communication technology really helps a lot. It’s much easier to conduct diplomacy with a simple phone call or a quick plane trip than to send a letter via a guy on a horse that’ll take weeks or months to get there and even longer for the response to arrive back to you.

During this time period all that land was under the Holy Roman Empire, and the emperor at the time was Louis The Bavarian, his election as the emperor was the result of a big portion of the empire nobles thinking the king of Bohemia was too strong ( keep in mind there is a myth that say the german electors dint want a czech emperor, but thats a lie since John of Bohemia was Luxembourgian, born of a franksh house, therefore had more blue blood than any guy from Germany/Austria proper ). The electors tried to elect a guy from Austria, a war was to happen if they did that since the king of Bohemia would not accept, and the electors would not accept another bohemian king as the emperor, so they chose Louis as a compromise, he was a weak emperor and effectively every part of the empire rule almost independently at that time, thats why the bohemian king managed to keep all of that under 1 crown on the holy roman empire. Later on the bohemian line would go back to rule the Empire for 3 more generations, but the lack of male heirs would make every corner of the crown land be divided by cousins and brothers in law.

Churchmen spoke Latin, western nobility tended to speak a French dialect of some sort, and thus could communicate to a certain extent, Latin based languages had diverged less so you could pick up some of what was said simply though familiarity. If it was going to be a bigger problem the noble selected would already speak the language or they'd take a priest with them who could then translate though another priest. The byzantines had a lot of Italians around and no one much felt like communicating with pagans beyond the whole convert or die, but if you had too you'd just ask a convert to do it for you, same with Muslims.
