Battle of Německý Brod
Battle in the Hussite Wars
The Battle of Německý Brod took place on 10 January 1422, at Německý Brod in Bohemia, during the Hussite Wars. Led by Jan Žižka, the Hussites besieged the army of Royalist crusaders. The Roman Catholic crusaders were no match for the Hussites and Německý Brod was quickly taken and sacked. More than 500 mercenaries drowned as they fled across the frozen Sázava River.
