(11014) Svatopluk Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 23 August 1982 by M. Antal at Piszkesteto.
Svätopluk (d. 894) was a famous king of the ancient Slavs and prince of Great Moravia from 871 to 894. Under his rule Moravia achieved its greatest territorial reach and was independent of the Frankish Empire. Legend has it that after the king's death quarrels between his three sons were the reason for Moravia's decline.Naming citation (20010804/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
