Jan Zizka, ~ 1360 - 1424. EP 02 of 03. Earliest Code of War. Zizka Ends an Apocalyptic Crusade against Heretic Hussites. Second Eye Blinded by Arrow.
Zizka led his peasant army against the might of the Holy Roman Empire and the Catholic Church, commanding with a precision and brutality that shattered the knights’ traditional dominance. His brilliance lay in his unbreakable discipline, iron-willed strategy, and mastery of the wagenburg, his mobile fortress of fortified wagons and firepower that turned common men into deadly soldiers. Even his enemies feared him as a military genius who never lost a battle. Zhizhka’s life was a testament to raw resilience and tactical supremacy, his legacy a reminder that true strength lies in the unyielding will to fight for what one believes is right, no matter the odds.
Jan Zizka of Bohemia. ~ 1360 - 1424.
Led Hussite Revolutionary Forces against three Holy Crusades and never lost a battle.
