Hussites of Žatec and Louny
Hussites of Žatec and Louny, officially Union of Žatec and Louny, were Hussites notable for defeating a large Imperial army sent to pacify them by Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor on request of the Papacy in October 1421.
This struggle became known as the second crusade against the Hussites. Their victory paved the way for a further Hussite takeover of the Kingdom of Bohemia.
