ABSTRACT

From one day to the next, many hosts from different parts of the world, duchies, provinces, and regions, were streaming to this place in the fields in support of the papal crusade that had been unjustly called for against the Czechs and especially those who supported the lay chalice [384], for the purpose of conquering the famous and magnificent city of Prague and thus annihilating and putting an end to the lay chalice. Following the aforementioned, unexpected defeat of the Germans, the city of Prague had peace from frequent hostile attacks. The Germans no longer shouted, ‘Hus, Hus, Heretic, Heretic’ but instead they reflected peacefully every day about how they might leave the country of Bohemia and return to their own homeland. Let it be known to all the faithful of Christ that the Christian faithful in the Kingdom of Bohemia insist upon and, God willing insofar as it is possible for them.
