The Hussite Wars

In this Czech history documentary, we'll be taking a look at the Hussite Wars, which were a series of conflicts fought between the religiously reformed Bohemians and the buzz-kill Catholics. Learn all about Jan Zizka, Sigismund of Hungary and a time period that would've been more interesting in Kingdom Come Deliverance.

Quick note on the borders of Bohemia: At the time of the Hussite Wars, Bohemia controlled a fair amount of territory to the north in Silesia, but this never really fell under Hussite control, thus I grouped it into the borders of the HRE (which it was part of) and only included Bohemia and Moravia in the borders of Hussite Bohemia.

Haha...ASMR Indulgences...you managed to make a goofy concept even stranger...Great job! Very enjoyable video :)

[iammrbeat]

Oh, and Zizka is underappreciated in history!

[JackRackam]

Do I detect sincere praise for a competent and innovative military strategy? Talk about off-brand!

(Wagon forts are pretty cool though)

[ThisisBarris]

That bit of asmr will forever haunt me Connor... Great video though! And a great visual representation of defenestration. Loved taking part in this collab with you.

[iammrbeat]

Great topic, and great delivery. You edutain me.

[KhAnubis]

I feel like I should point out that the past tense of yeet is actually *yote


(In all seriousness though, great video!)

[AncientAccounts]

Sparked a new movement of religious revolutionaries favoring Hus' ideas who called themselves -the hussites- THE WINGED HUSSARS

I’ve been to Prague. It was amazing to see such a pivotal piece of history where a guy got yeeted out of a window and landed in a pile of dung. Simply glorious.

[HistoryTime]

Enjoyed this. Good work! Eastern European medieval history is so interesting. Bohemia itself is arguably an older state than Germany.

pope: exists
hussites: I'm about to end this man's whole career

I have used this channel as a secondary source in my college class. My professor was, dare I say, indifferent to my genius

[vonkaiser]

Connor: Czech this out

Me: ok, where's the chair and rope

[ThisisBarris]

Congrats on the 1, 000 subs man!! You deserve them so I'm really happy for you. Keep it up Connor!

since thats technically a Kingdom Come Reference here's a Manowar/Sabaton reference aswell:

SEE THE WHITE LIGHT
THE LIGHT WITHIN

[IpernickTheGreat]

Big jump in quality, loved the asmr part

[Michal-Klecka]

Nice video. There are some simplifications, but I cannot believe you forgot to mention that in the battle of Vítkov Hill stood about 80 old men, women and children against several thousand professional knights on horses and won. Most badass battle of that war.

[andrewlynch]

It’s pretty cool to see smaller channels in on this to, good video by the way.

Worth to mention that Jan Zizka participated in the battle of Grunwald with Teutonic Order on the Polish side.
