1419: The atmosphere in Prague after Hus' death is very tense. Several rebels are prisoned and radical priest Jan Želivský leads large masses of people to the New Town's council house occupied by hatred councillors, where the prisoners are kept. The councillors refuse demands lodged by Želivský and several people are killed by stones thrown from windows. This act provokes ennoyance and leads to an overt uprising: the gate of the council house is broken and the councillors are thrown out of windows and killed (the so-called First Prague defenestration). When the king hears about this event, he is enormously upset and dies of heart failure.

  • Ohromě se mně líbí ta píseň kterou zpívají.Neví někdo její název?

  • @TehHardcore it's in czech

  • What language is this in? I understand some parts since I speak Croatian but not all of it..

  • Takového ducha buchom dnes potřebovali. Bohužel spousta lidí je sice hrdá na slavnou minulost ale smějí se těm, kteří se dnes snaží vystoupit proti mašinérii EU, která je jen pokračovatelem moci, která nás tehdy tak utiskovala.
