🚩 Today we examine the Battle of Vitkov Hill, fought in 1420 outside the city walls of Prague, amidst a series of crusades against the Hussites, who were a Czech proto-Protestant movement. Just one year before, in 1419, the Pope declared a crusade against them, and the Holy Roman Empire organized forces to wipe them out. Easier said than done...

I must commend the narrator on good pronounciation of Czech! By the way, Vyšehrad means higher castle. Not only was "higher castle" upon elevation, it held ground about 1 1/2 miles upriver from royal Prague Castle, and Charles Bridge.

Well I think it is because of the director Petr Jákl who wanted to create movie similiar to "Braveheart" which is also about some national heroes. Well I think that they should stick to history, especially when Jan Žižka's story is already fantastic and miraculous itself without making it more dramatic or romantic.

It is even more insane when you realize the quality difference was nearly as high as number difference. Attackers were knights, nobility trained from youth to fight clad in expensive armor with expensive arms and horses. Defenders were lowborn peasants, craftsmen, traders and other sorts of civilians with just basic armor and often using agricultural tools as weapons, however they always used defensive positions in battles (even in open battles they had wagons) which offered protection instead of armor and the improvised polearms they had were actually quite effective against armored opponent, especially since a man standing on the wagon or in this case on a palisade was higher than even mounted enemy and could easily use long polearms to attack knights from top, striking their heads, meanwhile knight lances werent too effective against such enemies behind cover, but swords lacked the range. The crazy amounts of guns also scared enemy knights, as they have never seen them on such a scale.

Podniósł miecz, by zadać śmiertelny cios wrogowi - komturowi tucholskiemu Heinrichowi von Schwelborn. Tymczasem zagraża mu podstępna postać w ciemnym ubraniu, która czai się by zadać cios w bok kordelasem."

Very few commanders throughout history can match Jan Zizka. He fought insurmountable odds with a ragtag army of craftsmen and peasants and put the chills up the spine of an empire and the whole corrupt church establishment. He fought in the legendary Battle of Grunwald (no other battle in the medieval history can match that) at the call of the Polish King. Jan Zizka was the ultimate warrior commander and my favorite. While mortally wounded and blind in his both eyes he issued his testament that upon his death his skin to be made into a drum to summon up the fighters to the battle. What else can I say.

@@ElBanditoI’m glad you missed the whole ragtag army parts. Do you think the royal mamluks are comparable to some bohemian peasants with a spear and maybe chainmail? The hussites were never gonna change much since they were so outnumbered. The thing that makes them so famous is the fact that they accomplished anything at all. A few decades later the mamluks would lose to the ottomans and have all their power striped despite having way more elite forces. Can you tell me what type of armor the mamluks had? Now can you tell me the armor most of the Hussite forces had(hint:it’s not made of metal)?

Zizka is also one of the few generals who never lost a battle despite having been involved in many. As you noted, considering the fact that his armies regularly consisted of peasants with little to no training, and that they were regularly HEAVILY out-numbered by foes with far more training and better equipment; he really should be remembered more. The only thing they had over their foes was faith and zeal; and perhaps there is something to be said for that! While Zizka obviously did not conquer half the world like Alexander the Great did, or carve out an empire for himself like Caesar; his insane string of seemingly impossible victories deserve recognition and study. As a military leader he really should be spoken of alongside the likes of Caesar and Alexander.

In early 15. century the Kutna Hora (Kuttenberg in KCD) area including Rattay was importand because of silver mines... and it became important hussite political center. Son of Hans Capon was Hynce Capon (Ptáček) of Pirkštejn 1404 - 1444 and he was one of importnant figure of moderate hussite faction who supported next king George of Podebrady Still waiting to see KCD 2 in hussite war period

Because of both Prague castles were firmly in royal hands, the burning of heretic mentioned in the introduction took place not under walls of the castle, but probably close to river for other heretics to see. Also, the Prague castle, did not fell to hussites (unlike the second castle Vyšehrad), but remained in royal hands until the end of the wars.

My niece lives on Vitkov hill, anytime I go to visit her, after all of those centuries, I still feel like I'm walking on a hallowed ground. Zizka gave us a base for a modern tank, gave us pistol and howitzer and unmatched tactical prowess, not bad for 600 years in past.

Together with Margraviate of Moravia (which you erased from existence), Margraviate of Lusatia and Silesia (Silesian duchies) was part of Crown of Bohemia and was part of Holy Roman Empire. Wenceslaus IV's father Charles IV was a Holy Roman Emperor and Wenceslaus himself was suppose to become Holy Roman Emperor. Also Wenceslaus was abducted and imprisoned by his brother Sigismund. Quite important detail.

@@odycz Yeah, pistol ("píšťala", later "pistola" - flute in English, was called like that due to its low caliber and long barrel, resembling a flute), and howitzer ("houfnice" - a "flock gun" in direct translation, was called like that either because it was used to shoot into crowds of soldiers, or because it used "flocks" of projectiles rather than a single shot). Together with "robot", they are the most commonly used Czech words in English.
