About the battle
The Battle of Živohošť took place on 4 November 1419 during the Hussite Wars. Hussite pilgrims from Alttabor (Czech: Sezimovo Ústí) came to the countrywide congress in Prague, where they fought the Czech Catholic nobility following King Sigismund of Luxembourg and under the command of Peter Konopišťský of Sternberg. After the first attack, a number of Hussites were killed, wounded, or captured, but reinforcements from West Bohemia led by the Hussites from Nový Knín arrived, forcing the Czech barons to retreat to Kuttenberg. According to contemporary written sources, the Battle of Živohošť was the first major battle of the Hussite Wars.
