Hussites
From the Battle of Vitkov to Tábor
The Battle of Vitkov, where the Hussites defeated the Crusaders, is just the beginning. The attack by the angry shepherdess is a complete joke compared to what else awaits Bára and the young Hussite warrior, Prague Borek, on their way to Tábor - and indeed in Tábor itself. In her books, historian Veronika Válková transports readers to real, real history, where she and Bára experience exciting moments, but they also learn a lot.
