We love talking about history, and that's what this podcast is all about. We explore the Middle Ages in Central Europe, focusing on the bloody Hussite Wars- battles, executions, and fierce theological debates. As two history nerds from Czechia, we dive deep into the old Kingdom of Bohemia and the Holy Roman Empire, with detours to England, France, and beyond. Our main episodes are scripted, dramatic stories, while bonus episodes offer extra context and details. Find them on Patreon, along with maps, pictures, and more.

1.5 Medieval Europe and a King Who Defecated on an Altar

In this free bonus episode, we go beyond Bohemia to explore the wider European context of Wenceslaus IV’s reign. What was happening in the rest of Europe? Which rulers, wars, and conflicts shaped this era? And most importantly - how can you experience this history yourself through TV shows and video games? We will discuss the political landscape of medieval Europe during Wenceslaus IV’s time. We will talk about TV series and movies that capture the atmosphere of the late 14th and early 15th centuries. And of course we have to talk about video games that let you step into this world, including Kingdom Come: Deliverance and the newly released Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. And we will finish off with details about the first coronation of Wenceslaus IV - and why one chronicle claims he defecated on an altar (yes, really!)This shortened version is free for everyone, but if you want to hear the full bonus episode, along with extra details and historical deep dives, you can find it on our Patreon.
