Hussites of Žatec and Louny

Hussites of Žatec and Louny were Hussites notable for defeating a large Imperial army sent to pacify them by Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor on request of the Papacy in October 1421.[1]

This struggle became known as the second crusade against the Hussites. Their victory paved the way for a further Hussite takeover of the Kingdom of Bohemia.
