UPDATED WEEKLY

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. The Strange Reign of Wenceslaus IV

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. If you’ve played Kingdom Come: Deliverance, you’ve already stepped into the world of Wenceslaus IV. The events of the game take place during his reign, a complex time of political turmoil, rebellion, and shifting alliances in the Bohemian Kingdom. With the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 release, now is the perfect time to dive into the real history behind the game.
