This is Episode 1 of our Hussite series. Today we will talk about the bohemian king, Wenceslaus IV, inherited a powerful empire from his father, Charles IV, one of the greatest rulers of medieval Europe. But instead of following in his father’s footsteps, he became a king who didn’t want to rule. In this episode, we explore the strange and troubled reign of Wenceslaus IV, a ruler more interested in hunting than governing, who ordered the murder of an innocent man, and who was eventually captured by his own lords.
