František Palacký was born on June 14, 1798 in Hodslavice, Czech Republic, the son of an evangelist teacher.
Palacký attended school in nearby Kunewald where he learned German. In 1812 his father sent him to study at the Evangelical schools of Trencsén (now Trençin in Slovakia) and Pozsony (Pressburg, Bratislava).
During his stay in Pozsony (1812-1820) Palacký came into contact with the already powerful Magyar national movement and with the nascent and rising Slavic (Slovak, Czech, pan-Slav) national consciousness. From Pozsony he moved to Vienna, where he spent 3 years familiarizing himself with Immanuel Kant's philosophy of history and publishing a few studies on esthetics and literature.
In 1823 Palacký moved to Prague, where he was received with great expectations, both by the older Czech scholars and by the patriotic members of the Czech aristocracy, whose patronage permitted him to devote himself fully to scholarly and patriotic activities.
In 1827 he become editor of the journal of the Bohemian Museum Society and completed the publication of medieval Czech annals in 1829. In 1832 he began his magnum opus, the History of the Czech nation in Bohemia and Moravia. The first volume of this work was printed in German in 1836. Subsequent volumes appeared irregularly in both Czech and German and carried Bohemia's history up to the extinction of its real independence in 1526. Its impact was immediate and phenomenal. It shook Czech national consciousness, particularly by depicting the nation's past as an unceasing struggle against German imperialism and violence. Palacký contrasted this with Czech (Slav) attachment to individual freedom and democracy, and he interpreted the Hussite movement (the central episode of his work) as his nation's effort to liberate the soul from the spiritual bondage of the Romano-Germanic Middle Ages.
In 1848 Palacký was chairman of the Prague Slavic congress. He elaborated his concept of federalism in Austria ("Austro-Slavism") in a plan presented to the Diet of Kromeřiz (Kremsier) in 1848. This plan – calling for the creation of seven autonomous national units in the empire – was in part unrealistic, but with a little goodwill it could have served as a point of departure toward a "new Austria. "
Following the failure of the revolutions of 1848, Palacký retired from active political life until 1861, when he became a deputy in the Reichsrat.
Palacký's influence on Czech political thought and historiography was immense. He was a the most influential person of the Czech National Revival, called "Father of the Nation. "
After completing the publication of medieval Czech annals, Palacký was named Bohemia's official historian. In this capacity he undertook the task of writing the first great synthesis of Czech history.
He was known for his monumental History of Bohemia and his federalistic concept of Austro-Slavism.

As a politician, Palacký supported the Austro-Slavic conception of a federal Austria, composed of nationalities with equal rights.
Although working for the regeneration of his nation, Palacký did not call for Czech political independence. A nation to him was a kinship group that need not be organized into a state. He felt that small states (such as an independent Bohemia would be) are too much at the mercy of their stronger neighbors. He looked favorably upon the unity of the Austrian Empire and regarded its existence as a European necessity.
