Amazing video. Explains the history of the hussite wars quite well, and all the little Kingdom Come: Deliverance references are awesome, even if the game takes place a couple of years before the outbreak of the hussite wars. :)
Another fun fact: The word "howitzer" originates from Czech "houfnice" (and not just in english, you have the "Haubitze" in German, "obice" in Italian, "gaubitza" (гаубица) in Russian, etc.). Also, the word "houfnice" comes from another Czech word, "houf", which means a "crowd". So, essentially, the gun for firing into crowds!
True, "houf" itself originates from German, but considering the fact that Bohemia was historically directly influenced by German speaking nations (it was a part of the Holy Roman Empire, and then of the Habsburg monarchy), and possesed a substantial German ethnic minority up until 1945, that is not really surprising. The word is rather old and rarely used today, and is primarily used when describing birds (the best English counterpart would be a flock). However, it was commonly used for gathering of people in the Old Czech, and can be used as such today. You will probably sound pretty ancient though.
+crazymachinima1 The word "Haubica" used in the Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin languages (or, rather, language, since, by the mutual intelligibility definition of what counts as a dialect and what a language, these 4 are just dialects of the same language) also originates from that Czech word you mentioned.
Great video as always, but you forgot to mention one amazing fact about Jan Žižka. He lost one of his eyes in the Battle of Grunwald in 1410. Then in 1421 at the siege of Rabi he lost his other eye. And still he lead armies till his death in 1424. In that time he achived indisputable victories at the big battles at Nebovidy, Habry, Deutschbrod, Hořice and Malešov plus a couple of smaller engagements. *Jan Žižka was so badass he led an army for three years while being wholly blind and still managed to decisively win five major battles having much smaller forces in each one of them.*
Da Komrade! Nah I must disagree. Genghis was defiently better hell so was Hannibal if his damn state wasn't corrupt stupid and actually supported Hannibal and well fought like Romans nope. It was like a Wolf being tied up by weak sheep that didn't want to act and there's only so much one wolf with barely any help can do against a state like Rome that actually would give it's support
Really? Did Genghis or Scipio ever let army of farmers, women and childeren against profesional army, when enemy outnumberd them more than 10:1 and still achieve victory? Did they lead their troops totaly blind against superior enemy, and still manage to lured the enemy into the trap an achieve victory? Zizka did it. He was outnumbered in almout every battle and he still always won, even when he was blind. He lead unskilled peasants without any armor angainst heavily armerd soldiers, who had years of training, and he won. He introduced completly new tactics (which almost made heavy cavalry obsolete 450 year before automatic guns), and he brought firearms onto european battlefields. Thanks to him the world know the word pistol, which has czech origin and comes from "píšťala", which is how hussites call their hand guns. Zizka is the greatest.
Funnily enough, this is the origin of the War Wagon from Age of Empires 3. Also, for anyone curious, the Second Defenestration of Prague was the one that led to the Thirty Years War.
I reckon it deserves a full sequel. 10 Years of bloody warfare against the entirety of the empire! It would be interesting to see what side Henry would pick. He does encounter a priest fond of Jan Huss...
Fun fact: Joan of Arc sent to the Hussites heretics a letter stating if they won't stop with fighting she will come to Bohemia personally. A pity she was captured by English soon after.
I would love to see that. Imagine her face the moment she would see the wagon bois on some hill, firing GUNS AND *DOING THE SAME THING THAT DEVASTATED THE CRUSADERS*
Before being burned at the stake, Jan Hus said that “you may cook this goose, but in 100 years, a swan will arise, and you won’t be able to silence him.” Hus meant goose in that language, so that’s the origin of the term, “me goose is cooked.” The swan whom the Catholics were unable to silence was Martin Luther.
You forgot the coolest part Žižka was blinded in his one good eye during battle, yet still fought and commanded his men through quite a few more campaigns successfully
Yes I'm back, back from what? Back from working on this bloody video. Also remember to check out the Kingdom Come Deliverance OST by Jan Valta & Adam Sporka www.kcdsoundtrack.com/ Anywho, corrections now. -Utrakvisté and Táborité are Czech for Utraquist and Taborite, I just said the Czech ones because they sound better to me. -11:31 Sorry for the animation fuck-up, apparently even a masked layer will still have motion blur applied to it when moving. -3:19 Apparently there is no past-tense for coronation, the world should be crowned. (But that's also stupid)
Just to clarify, we don't just call Bohemians Czechs. Bohemia is the western part of Czechia and Moravia is the eastern part. Bohemians and Moravians both are and were called Czech, after their common language
ferko perko -- absolutely wrong. The word "Bohemia" does indeed come from the Latin name for the region, but it refers to the Celtic "Boii" people who once lived there. As the Slavic people migrated into the region two Czech-speaking tribes developed on the land formerly occupied by the Boii. One of them took on the name "Bohemian", after the Latin name for the region, the other took on the name "Moravian", I believe after a forest there. Both the Moravians and the Bohemians have always been refered to as "Czech". Czech being the name of the Slavic language that the two tribes share. Put another way, Bohemians are Czech, but not all Czechs are Bohemian. Edit: I happen to be a Bohemian Czech, ethnically. Not that it should matter
At the time it was a part of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown (Corona regni Bohemiae), which included Silesia, Moravia and Lusatia, shortening it to just Bohemia should not be considered a mistake. Besides, czech language doesn't have separate terms for Czechs and Bohemians , Bohemia is called Čechy, which means the land of the Czechs.
As a Czech I gotta say, this was a really solid video. One of the things I would mention is that Jan Žižka fought amongst the German forces during his youth, hence gaining his understanding on their military tactics. Thanks to this and his military genius, he is one of the very few undefeated generals; ranking along the likes of Alexander of Macedon. But, as you have mentioned, we as a nation have the same plague the Poles do. We couldn't be defeated through force, but we were given time to doom ourselves through politics.
Make video about Czech legions in WWI probably most badass story ever, they fought trough entire russia just to get home to their newly formed loved homeland.
The pacing is much better! I always found your speech slightly too fast for me to catch the puns, jokes and hidden agendas, and now it feels much better!
The Cathars in France pre-date the Hussites. The Hussites are part of a long line of people deemed heretical who wanted social reform in the Church. Edit: I made a mistake stating that the Anabaptists were before the Hussites when they were actually quite a ways after.
The Wagenburg (or wagon fort) became so ingrained as a Hussite thing in people's minds that in Polish "tabor" became a common name for it. And through the ages it's meaning became much wider and nowadays it means anything from a rolling stock to nomadic group of Gypsies. So yeah, the legacy of Hussites still lives on in that part of Europe in ways people aren't even aware of.
Today, in modern world of Czech republic, tábor means camp/campsite. Edit: Oh, and that thing with gypsies. Today they are no longer nomadic (it was like 100 years ago), lots of them live in ghettos and rundown houses. Naturally they live from our taxes and if they have more than 3 kids, the financial benefits are high enough for them to avoid any kind of work plus they have many discnouts from cities they live in. Over all that, most of them still can be seen in better clothes than the normal working man, which pisses the f from everyone here.
In Czech, the word comes from the name of a mountain in southern Bohemia and means "a camp". The mountain is named after the mountain Tabor in Izrael. After Hus died, huge crowds of pilgrims came on Tábor for devine services and they would camp on the mountain. Later a Hussite town was founded in the place bearing the same name.
As a Czech I really appreciate your pronunciation, you surely done your research and great a work! Not like most of creators and historians who just shoot in the dark and make our ears bleed, you are truly phenomenal!
@0:29 Armor from Kingdom Come Deliverance. Yes I know armor like that has existed in real life, but I've had Henry wear this kind of armor in the game. And the developers did say they will cover the Hussite Wars at some point in their game, or sequel to it. Edit: I hear the music from KCD too :D
Paritosh Deshpande Same. Currently over 200+ hours on the game for me I think? But the bugs are starting to annoy me so I'm waiting until that's fixed. There's also the lack of content in the game since I finished most of it already and the fights have become one sided. Plus it's still new so not a lot of mods just yet. I'm just gonna wait for a while until all of that is up and running.
I don't know why people expect us to keep playing the game forever. "Kingdom Come: Deliverance lost 95% of it's players?" First off, no, it hasn't. Next, it's a Single player game. That's what you do with single player games.
Paritosh Deshpande Yeah, I agree with you there. Single players aren't like multilayer online games. I don't know why people keep on comparing the two different types.
Best part of the later "battles" is the crusaders were so shooketh by the Hussites at that point, that they allegedly dispersed in fear on multiple occasions just from hearing the Hussite army sing their battle song in the distance. Who needs guns when you have a badass hype song and a few hundred men to roar it across the countryside?
Just spend a few weeks in the Czech republic, Germany and Hungary. Seeing the places talked about was amazing. Awesome to get a better picture of the history of this war. Great video man, keep it up!
All czech people know this story from history lessons at the school (well most of them). There is even public holyday on 6 July called "The day, when was Jan Hus burned at the stake. BTW that KURVA post card made me laugh :-D
13th century Bohemian kings (and even earlier rulers) were very important to the Emperor as allies (for example Friedrich II. was greatly helped by Premysl Otakar I.) so isn’t saying “until the 14 century Bohemia was the part of the HRE where they didnt speak German and nobody cared about them” a bit inaccurate ?... Besides that.. a very nice video, as always
Filip Well In fact the only kingdom in the HRE at least in the middle ages to be precise... but exactly, how could the most powerful state of the HRE be considered unimportant until that point ? I get it it was just a simplification but still..
@@DanierCZ honestly there is that outlook on us, since we were pretty much autonomus part of HRE with most of the shit others had to do being optional for us from 1212
@@DanierCZ Important and powerful from economics, population, military side. Unimportant, ignored from the politics side because, due to not being german speaking, never being to properly utilize and leverage it.
The KCD soundtrack is just so perfect for medieval times, I hope Warhorse releases a sequel, they really made something unique that nobody has ever done before.
Imagine if Władysław actually accepted the Bohemian crown and passed it on to his successors. Imagine in 1569 Union of Lublin creates a Polish-Lithuanian-Bohemian Commonwealth uniting all in it against Teutons, Ottomans and Muscovites...
Jogaila's personal union with Poland ruined Lithuania, and led to Muscovy freely growing into an empire that brought demise to both. So, such a commonwealth probably would have ruined Bohemia too.
Well, his grandson Vladislav II became a king of Bohemia in 1471, creating short-lived Jagellonian dynasty of Bohemia (died in 1526). He is considered as one of the weakest rulers in Bohemian history.
Need to say that this age created 2 international words. 1) Pistol from original czech word Píšťala, which is hipfired primitive rifle made of wooden stick with miniaturized cannon barrel on the end. 2) Howitzer, which came from german Haubitze has origin in czech word Houfnice, which can be freely translated like ,,crowd shooding cannon'' as Houf means crowd or inorganized group. Btw really nice video 😊
I have tomorrow an entrance examination to my local university's history studies and the test is centered on this exact era. In other words, your timing couldn't have been more perfect! Great video!
How can such an small country be so badass? The hussites, the 30 years war, the only nation in eastern europe to remain democratic in the interwar period, the velvet revolution. It's just amazing
Also these achievements :D en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechoslovak_Legion en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Reinhard_Heydrich But we also have A LOT of dark moments in history. The worst were probably communist party (1948-1989), soviet occupation (1968-1989) and dealing with Germans after the WWII :(
And who would've thought Centuries later Wycliffe would once again capture the public imagination when he topped the Billboard charts on a track with Shakira!
What's very impressive is that Jan Žižka turned untrained peasants into great warriors. He did so by disciplining them, making new weapons (common farming tools with added spikes) and of course wagons (so that they were protected from cavalry)
excellent video, i'm a protestant but somehow i don't remember ever hearing about this. despite being thought everything about the actual reformation at school.. really interesting.
Well you may be interested to hear that when Martin Luther started his reformation in 16th century, one of the first things he publicly declared was: "Jan Hus was right!". He basically contiuned in Hus´s teachings.
Another thing that may interest you is that Moravian Brethren, church which you may know because of their missionary work in Northern America, came from kingdom of Bohemia (which Moravia was a part of) and were followers of teaching of Hus.
This is actually agreed among historians to be the reason for it. Or to be more precise, the beggining of the long way to our refusal of religion. After hussites won freedom for their religion, czechs were later forcibly and brutally recatholized and since then catholics were either our enemy or oppresors. And after hundreds of years of constant religious conflicts, changes of various dogmas forced upon the population (hussites, catholicism, protestantism, catholitism,...) based on the current ruler affilation, the Czechs came to the conclusion that there is no God. Seriously, that is condensed version of what happened.
Not really, take a look at other countries that were communist - Poland, Slovakia and others. Catholicism is strong and communism didnt hurt it. That was not the case in Czechia.
we learn this stuff in school when we are little kids. (5-6 years). Žižka is a fucking hero. The religion? stupid bullshit, they took Jan hus! next reason - after the second defenestration, the witch hunt was really hard in bohemia. like, really really hard, i recommend you find something about it. Boblig did terrible things. Because of this and hussite wars, we HATE religion with passion. Fuck Zikmund. Fuck the church. Fuck boblig.
Not at all. 1) burning of Jan Hus by Catholic immoral whores and Hussite fight against Crusades 2) Forced recatholisation after year 1620 3) Foreign Habsburg rulers were mainly Catholics since 1526 till 1918 4) Era of Communism.
If you understand Czech, there's a great trilogy of films by Vavra on RUclips, Jan Hus, Žižka, and Proti vsem. In Žižka, the battle of Sudoměř is just incredible and you can find that alone also.
As a half Czech half American i like how you tried the Czech languadge. My American farher says that when he enterd the Czech republic for the first time the launguadge sounded like gun fire. And the dobrou noc that Večerníček says at the end was hilarius! Good job! Czech tounge twister: Třista třicet tři stříbrných stříkaček stříkalo přez třista třicet tři stříbrných střech. 😏🥴 GOOD LUCK!😁
I've heard about this conflict on the peripheries of other incidents that happened around this time period. So nice to hear about it in detail & with your beautiful art. The fun commentary is just a tidy bonus.

I appreciate the extra effort you put in by learning how to pronounce as close as possible the names and use the language. Also Večerníček really surprised me. Nice.
Wow, as czech i am really surprided how well did you managed this theme. I also learned something (we didnt even learn that it was crudade and about sofia). Btw the day of hus burning is national holiday, czech arent bohemians, bohemia is just part of czech rep. So bohemia didn't turned into czech rep. But its just part of czech rep. and your czech is kinda good. Great video!
Yup, more or less, but the word ends with long "e" - h is not there even when you pronounce it. It's derived from Tábor (obviously) and it basicaly means "Those from Tábor" although you wouldn't use it today, since A, it's and old way to say it and B, the name kinda stuck to the hussite fraction
Greetings from Pilsen, a Catholic stronghold in Bohemia that was the only one that defended itself against the glorious Hussites. I loved the video! And I've learned many new things. Well, most of the Czech names were pronounced rather incorrectly but this mispronunciation was as expected by native English speakers.
One small correction: Sigismund granted Hus the guarantee of safe passage en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geleitrecht He did not and could not grant him immunity from Church sentence. "Hus had received a so-called 'Geleitrecht' from King Sigismund, King of the Romans, an accompanying document guaranteeing a safe trip to Contance and back. The fact that this had not protected him in the ensuing events evoked indignation in the Czech Lands. One of the paradoxes of history is the fact that Hus had received the promise of a 'Geleitrecht' from King Sigismund, but had only received it several days later upon arriving in Constance. Thus Hus went and arrived at the Council without the protective document and could have been captured and imprisoned on the trip having already been from a legal perspective declared a heretic. An essential factor regarding the issue of Sigismund's 'Geleitrecht' was the fact that any kind of protective document by a secular ruler (such as Sigismund) could not protect the holder from a decision by a Church institution (the Council). The 'Geleitrecht' could not protect the heretic from a Church trial. Canon law recognized the principle that all forms of commitments to certain heretics need not be acknowledged. Of additional importance is the fact that Sigismund at a later point declared his 'Geleitrecht' for Hus invalid.19" source: www.ijhssnet.com/journals/Vol_2_No_4_Special_Issue_February_2012/16.pdf
Could you do a video on the Chaco War of 1935 between Bolivia and Paraguay? It was actually pretty deadly, and an interesting subject, but mostly forgotten today.
It may be apocryphal, but I was told that the English phrase "your goose is cooked" comes from Jan Hus - 'hus' is the Czech word for geese, and Jan Hus was burnt ("cooked") at the stake.
How about the prophecy of Jan Hus, how they will cook a goose, but a swan will rise in a hundred years that cannot be cooked? And that swan is Martin Luther in 1517.
I see in your Europe map you went with "let's represent Venice as a big island off the Adriatic coast" spiel. Kinda lika EU4 does. Keep in mind that's not realistic at all, might as well leave it be.

Just to clarify, we don't just call Bohemians Czechs. Bohemia is the western part of Czechia and Moravia is the eastern part. Bohemians and Moravians both are and were called Czech, after their common language
Not really true, Bohemia is literally just latin for Czechia.
ferko perko -- absolutely wrong. The word "Bohemia" does indeed come from the Latin name for the region, but it refers to the Celtic "Boii" people who once lived there. As the Slavic people migrated into the region two Czech-speaking tribes developed on the land formerly occupied by the Boii. One of them took on the name "Bohemian", after the Latin name for the region, the other took on the name "Moravian", I believe after a forest there. Both the Moravians and the Bohemians have always been refered to as "Czech". Czech being the name of the Slavic language that the two tribes share.
Put another way, Bohemians are Czech, but not all Czechs are Bohemian.

Wow. Those memes have been time traveling.
I know that it’s spelled Boii. I left the second i out for the purpose of the joke.
Radomír Časta Some of that typical Bohemian elitism.
Jk I’m bohemian too :)
At the time it was a part of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown (Corona regni Bohemiae), which included Silesia, Moravia and Lusatia, shortening it to just Bohemia should not be considered a mistake.
Besides, czech language doesn't have separate terms for Czechs and Bohemians , Bohemia is called Čechy, which means the land of the Czechs.
As a Czech I gotta say, this was a really solid video. One of the things I would mention is that Jan Žižka fought amongst the German forces during his youth, hence gaining his understanding on their military tactics. Thanks to this and his military genius, he is one of the very few undefeated generals; ranking along the likes of Alexander of Macedon.
But, as you have mentioned, we as a nation have the same plague the Poles do. We couldn't be defeated through force, but we were given time to doom ourselves through politics.
You can see to this day that politics isn't the best part of our governent
Yeah turns out if you break away from Christ’s church you will be disordered and tear eachother apart.

The pacing is much better! I always found your speech slightly too fast for me to catch the puns, jokes and hidden agendas, and now it feels much better!
I guess you can always use 0.75 speed. Added benefit: longer video to watch! :D

I prefer faster talking, every video I watch I play on x1.25 or x1.5 (this one on x1.25 and it was fine...)
5:38 Did the Hussites just invent Christian communism?
well there were many branches of Christianity which were very socialist in nature like Catharism or Bogomilism
SIEZE THE MEANS OF WORSHIP
The Cathars in France pre-date the Hussites. The Hussites are part of a long line of people deemed heretical who wanted social reform in the Church.
Edit: I made a mistake stating that the Anabaptists were before the Hussites when they were actually quite a ways after.
Christbol gang
Early Christianity was very socialistic and the first Christians lived in communes.

The Wagenburg (or wagon fort) became so ingrained as a Hussite thing in people's minds that in Polish "tabor" became a common name for it.
And through the ages it's meaning became much wider and nowadays it means anything from a rolling stock to nomadic group of Gypsies.
So yeah, the legacy of Hussites still lives on in that part of Europe in ways people aren't even aware of.
Today, in modern world of Czech republic, tábor means camp/campsite.
Edit: Oh, and that thing with gypsies. Today they are no longer nomadic (it was like 100 years ago), lots of them live in ghettos and rundown houses. Naturally they live from our taxes and if they have more than 3 kids, the financial benefits are high enough for them to avoid any kind of work plus they have many discnouts from cities they live in. Over all that, most of them still can be seen in better clothes than the normal working man, which pisses the f from everyone here.
In Czech, the word comes from the name of a mountain in southern Bohemia and means "a camp". The mountain is named after the mountain Tabor in Izrael. After Hus died, huge crowds of pilgrims came on Tábor for devine services and they would camp on the mountain. Later a Hussite town was founded in the place bearing the same name.
also in hugarian tábor means camp
@@Morrow77 thats interesting i didnt know we influenced even hungarian
Massive props for getting the pronunciation of Czech names almost spot on. A lot of other channels don't even bother.
As a Czech I really appreciate your pronunciation, you surely done your research and great a work! Not like most of creators and historians who just shoot in the dark and make our ears bleed, you are truly phenomenal!
Totally started my own Hussite wars as Hussite Bohemia in EU4, and won 😩 🍷
Jan Hus is not forgotten
@0:29 Armor from Kingdom Come Deliverance. Yes I know armor like that has existed in real life, but I've had Henry wear this kind of armor in the game. And the developers did say they will cover the Hussite Wars at some point in their game, or sequel to it.
Edit: I hear the music from KCD too :D
Exactly! One of my favorite games of all time. Seriously.
Paritosh Deshpande Same. Currently over 200+ hours on the game for me I think? But the bugs are starting to annoy me so I'm waiting until that's fixed. There's also the lack of content in the game since I finished most of it already and the fights have become one sided. Plus it's still new so not a lot of mods just yet. I'm just gonna wait for a while until all of that is up and running.
I don't know why people expect us to keep playing the game forever.
"Kingdom Come: Deliverance lost 95% of it's players?"
First off, no, it hasn't. Next, it's a Single player game. That's what you do with single player games.
Paritosh Deshpande Yeah, I agree with you there. Single players aren't like multilayer online games. I don't know why people keep on comparing the two different types.
Not to mention that you never complete your main quest objectives of getting the sword back and getting revenge on Markfart von Baldycunt.
Thoes hussites where pretty badass.
thanks ! wanna get hit with a palcát?
Saddam Hussein speaks czech? What are you doing these days, anyway? :)
@@NotSaddamHussein Hit him in the name of Allah'
Best part of the later "battles" is the crusaders were so shooketh by the Hussites at that point, that they allegedly dispersed in fear on multiple occasions just from hearing the Hussite army sing their battle song in the distance.
Who needs guns when you have a badass hype song and a few hundred men to roar it across the countryside?
I still tear up when I hear it

Just spend a few weeks in the Czech republic, Germany and Hungary. Seeing the places talked about was amazing. Awesome to get a better picture of the history of this war. Great video man, keep it up!
All czech people know this story from history lessons at the school (well most of them). There is even public holyday on 6 July called "The day, when was Jan Hus burned at the stake. BTW that KURVA post card made me laugh :-D
So many Jans...
Jan is Czech equivalent for John
Like John Wycliffe
It is literally must used czech name
Luka Toprek It was the most popular name in most of Europe since the High Middle Ages.
there are lot of jans/honzas in czech rep, for real
13th century Bohemian kings (and even earlier rulers) were very important to the Emperor as allies (for example Friedrich II. was greatly helped by Premysl Otakar I.) so isn’t saying “until the 14 century Bohemia was the part of the HRE where they didnt speak German and nobody cared about them” a bit inaccurate ?...
Besides that.. a very nice video, as always
Bohemia was one of the most powerful kingdoms in HRE as far is I'm concerned
Filip Well In fact the only kingdom in the HRE at least in the middle ages to be precise... but exactly, how could the most powerful state of the HRE be considered unimportant until that point ? I get it it was just a simplification but still..
@@DanierCZ honestly there is that outlook on us, since we were pretty much autonomus part of HRE with most of the shit others had to do being optional for us from 1212
@@DanierCZ Important and powerful from economics, population, military side. Unimportant, ignored from the politics side because, due to not being german speaking, never being to properly utilize and leverage it.

Imagine if Władysław actually accepted the Bohemian crown and passed it on to his successors. Imagine in 1569 Union of Lublin creates a Polish-Lithuanian-Bohemian Commonwealth uniting all in it against Teutons, Ottomans and Muscovites...
dzejrid I can only get so hard...
Jogaila's personal union with Poland ruined Lithuania, and led to Muscovy freely growing into an empire that brought demise to both. So, such a commonwealth probably would have ruined Bohemia too.
Well, his grandson Vladislav II became a king of Bohemia in 1471, creating short-lived Jagellonian dynasty of Bohemia (died in 1526). He is considered as one of the weakest rulers in Bohemian history.
Oh boy, a video on one of my favorite medieval badasses. The Hussites.
this is why howitzer (houfnice) and pistol (píšťala) are czech's marvellous contributions to international vocabs :D #funfact maybe?
Need to say that this age created 2 international words.
1) Pistol from original czech word Píšťala, which is hipfired primitive rifle made of wooden stick with miniaturized cannon barrel on the end.
2) Howitzer, which came from german Haubitze has origin in czech word Houfnice, which can be freely translated like ,,crowd shooding cannon'' as Houf means crowd or inorganized group.
Btw really nice video 😊
I have tomorrow an entrance examination to my local university's history studies and the test is centered on this exact era. In other words, your timing couldn't have been more perfect! Great video!
How can such an small country be so badass? The hussites, the 30 years war, the only nation in eastern europe to remain democratic in the interwar period, the velvet revolution. It's just amazing
Also these achievements :D

kingdom come deliverance soundtrack makes it great
hah, surprising how much was still in my memory from playing and reading the flavor texts in Kingdom Come Deliverance :D

Ohh man, I love the the Kingdon Come: Deliverance soundtrack. Great video!
Jan Hus was a pretty cool guy
Yeah, I heard that many hated the fact that he was dead
@@tannerosborn2666 his death was the reason this wars even happend
Yes! I've been waiting for this. The Hussites were badasses. Especially their generals. Jan Zizka is a legend.
What's very impressive is that Jan Žižka turned untrained peasants into great warriors. He did so by disciplining them, making new weapons (common farming tools with added spikes) and of course wagons (so that they were protected from cavalry)
Frickin 16th century tanks
15th
14th*
Jan Hus was burned in 1415. 1 - 99 was the first century, 100 - 199 second, 1400 - 1499 fifteenth.
Zurg guy 15th stupid ass
1401 - 1500 That was the fifteenth century, because every century starts with 1.
excellent video, i'm a protestant but somehow i don't remember ever hearing about this.
despite being thought everything about the actual reformation at school.. really interesting.
Well you may be interested to hear that when Martin Luther started his reformation in 16th century, one of the first things he publicly declared was: "Jan Hus was right!". He basically contiuned in Hus´s teachings.
Another thing that may interest you is that Moravian Brethren, church which you may know because of their missionary work in Northern America, came from kingdom of Bohemia (which Moravia was a part of) and were followers of teaching of Hus.
Except Luther disagreed with Hus on real presence..
KCD 2 lets go !
Isn't it kind of weird that the Czech republic is now one of the least religious parts of Europe?
This is actually agreed among historians to be the reason for it. Or to be more precise, the beggining of the long way to our refusal of religion. After hussites won freedom for their religion, czechs were later forcibly and brutally recatholized and since then catholics were either our enemy or oppresors. And after hundreds of years of constant religious conflicts, changes of various dogmas forced upon the population (hussites, catholicism, protestantism, catholitism,...) based on the current ruler affilation, the Czechs came to the conclusion that there is no God. Seriously, that is condensed version of what happened.
Is it because of communism too?
Not really, take a look at other countries that were communist - Poland, Slovakia and others. Catholicism is strong and communism didnt hurt it. That was not the case in Czechia.
we learn this stuff in school when we are little kids. (5-6 years). Žižka is a fucking hero. The religion? stupid bullshit, they took Jan hus! next reason - after the second defenestration, the witch hunt was really hard in bohemia. like, really really hard, i recommend you find something about it. Boblig did terrible things. Because of this and hussite wars, we HATE religion with passion.
Fuck Zikmund. Fuck the church. Fuck boblig.
Not at all. 1) burning of Jan Hus by Catholic immoral whores and Hussite fight against Crusades 2) Forced recatholisation after year 1620 3) Foreign Habsburg rulers were mainly Catholics since 1526 till 1918 4) Era of Communism.
Andrezj Sapkowski (The creator of The Witcher saga) has a Trilogy of books set in this period
I read them. Pretty good!
Read them all, they are very good. Sapkowski is a beast.
If you understand Czech, there's a great trilogy of films by Vavra on RUclips, Jan Hus, Žižka, and Proti vsem. In Žižka, the battle of Sudoměř is just incredible and you can find that alone also.

Yup, more or less, but the word ends with long "e" - h is not there even when you pronounce it. It's derived from Tábor (obviously) and it basicaly means "Those from Tábor" although you wouldn't use it today, since A, it's and old way to say it and B, the name kinda stuck to the hussite fraction
Greetings from Pilsen, a Catholic stronghold in Bohemia that was the only one that defended itself against the glorious Hussites. I loved the video! And I've learned many new things. Well, most of the Czech names were pronounced rather incorrectly but this mispronunciation was as expected by native English speakers.
Who doesn’t love some good old heresy?
One small correction: Sigismund granted Hus the guarantee of safe passage en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geleitrecht
He did not and could not grant him immunity from Church sentence.
"Hus had received a so-called 'Geleitrecht' from King Sigismund, King of the Romans, an accompanying
document guaranteeing a safe trip to Contance and back. The fact that this had not protected him in the ensuing
events evoked indignation in the Czech Lands. One of the paradoxes of history is the fact that Hus had received
the promise of a 'Geleitrecht' from King Sigismund, but had only received it several days later upon arriving in
Constance. Thus Hus went and arrived at the Council without the protective document and could have been
captured and imprisoned on the trip having already been from a legal perspective declared a heretic. An essential
factor regarding the issue of Sigismund's 'Geleitrecht' was the fact that any kind of protective document by a
secular ruler (such as Sigismund) could not protect the holder from a decision by a Church institution (the
Council). The 'Geleitrecht' could not protect the heretic from a Church trial. Canon law recognized the principle
that all forms of commitments to certain heretics need not be acknowledged. Of additional importance is the fact
that Sigismund at a later point declared his 'Geleitrecht' for Hus invalid.19"

It may be apocryphal, but I was told that the English phrase "your goose is cooked" comes from Jan Hus - 'hus' is the Czech word for geese, and Jan Hus was burnt ("cooked") at the stake.
How about the prophecy of Jan Hus, how they will cook a goose, but a swan will rise in a hundred years that cannot be cooked?
And that swan is Martin Luther in 1517.
Immense appreciation for the lullaby at the end !!! Made my day :DD
