The king's death resulted in renewed unrest in Prague and in many other areas of Bohemia. Many Catholics, mostly Germans—for they had almost all remained faithful to the papal cause—suffered expulsion from the Bohemian cities. In Prague, in November 1419, severe fighting took place between the Hussites and the mercenaries whom Queen Sophia (widow o...
Depending on the terrain, Hussites prepared carts for the battle, forming them into squares or circles. The carts were joined wheel to wheel by chains and positioned aslant, with their corners attached to each other, so that horses could be harnessed to them quickly, if necessary. In front of this wall of carts a ditch was dug by camp followers. Th...
After the death of his childless brother Wenceslaus, Sigismund had acquired a claim on the Bohemian crown, though it was then, and remained till much later, in question whether Bohemia was an hereditary or an elective monarchy. A firm adherent of the Church of Rome, Sigismund was successful in obtaining aid from Pope Martin V, who issued a bill on ...
Internal strife prevented the followers of Hus from fully capitalizing on their victory. At Prague a demagogue, the priest Jan Zelivsky, for a time obtained almost unlimited authority over the lower classes of the townsmen; and at Tabor a religious communistic movement (so-called Adamites) was sternly suppressed by Žižka. Shortly after a new crusad...
Bohemia was for a time free from foreign intervention, but internal discord again broke out, caused partly by theological strife and partly by the ambition of agitators. Jan Želivský was on March 9 1422 arrested by the town council of Prague and decapitated. There were troubles at Tábor also, where a more advanced party opposed Žižka's authority. B...
Papal influence had meanwhile succeeded in launching a new crusade against Bohemia, but it resulted in complete failure. In spite of the best efforts of their rulers, Poles and Lithuanians did not wish to attack their kindred Czechs; the Germans were prevented by internal squabbles from taking joint action against the Hussites; and the King of Denm...
In 1426, the Hussites were again attacked by foreign enemies. In June of that year their forces, led by Prokop the Great—who took the command of the Taborites shortly after Žižka's death in October 1424—and Sigismund Korybut, who had returned to Bohemia, signally defeated the Germans at Usti nad Labem. After this great victory, and another at the B...
From 1421 to 1427 the Hussites received military support from the Poles. Poland, though a devoutly Catholic nation, was supporting the Hussites on non-religion grounds. Poland's motive was revenge against Germany for the Polish-Lithuanian-Teutonic War (1409-1411). Because of this, Jan Žižka arranged for the crown of Bohemia to be offered to Jagiell...
Spanilé jízdy, or beautiful rides, as the Hussites called them, were undertaken in many different foreign lands. Throughout the Hussite Wars, especially under the leadership of Prokop the Great, invasions were made into Silesia, Saxony, Hungary, Lusatia, and Meissen. Every raid that the Hussites carried out was against a country that had supplied t...
The almost uninterrupted series of victories of the Hussites led many to realize that they were of not going to defeat them by force of arms. Also, the conspicuously democratic character of the Hussite movement caused the German princes, who were afraid that such views might extend to their own countries, to desire peace. Many Hussites, particularl...
Nov 18, 2021 · Žižka died in October of 1424 from the plague, still undefeated, and was replaced by Prokop the Bold who, with Sigismund Korybut, continued Hussite victories through 1426. The Battle of Lipany

May 18, 2017 · A crusade was called against the Hussites, and Sigismund led crusading forces back into his kingdom. On 14 July he attacked the entrenched Hussites at Prague and was driven back. As Sigismund retreated, the Hussites captured royalist castles.
Sigismund and the Pope engineered Polish-Lithuanian Union’s disengagement with the Hussites by threatening a crusade and providing support to the Teutonic Knights. Despite the departure of Korybut, it is safe to assume the continued presence of Poles and Lithuanians among the Bohemians.

Aug 19, 2022 · Sigismund, though achieving every one of his aims and being a critical lynchpin of the Catholic reforms of his era, was not survived by his legacy. The radical Hussites, though massacred on the field of Lipany by their fellow Bohemians, sowed a tradition of rebellion that survives to this day.
