The Church calls a crusade against Hus’s followers, the Hussites and all of Europe takes up arms against the heretics. The Hussites’ only hope is a one-eyed mercenary named Jan Žižka, and his revolutionary tactics that are so crazy they just might work. Fire, faith and thunder roll over the hills of Bohemia.</p><p><strong>Sources:</strong> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.unknownsoldierspodcast.com/post/episodes-67-and-68-the-hussite-wars-parts-1-and-2">https://www.unknownsoldierspodcast.com/post/episodes-67-and-68-the-hussite-wars-parts-1-and-2</a></p><p><strong>Music:</strong></p><p>Bloodlust by Alexander Nakarada (CreatorChords) | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://creatorchords.comMusic">https://creatorchords.comMusic</a> promoted by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative">https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative</a> Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a></p><p>Ring Of Iron by WombatNoisesAudio | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://soundcloud.com/user-734462061Music">https://soundcloud.com/user-734462061Music</a> promoted by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative">https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative</a> Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US</a></p><p>The Great Battle by Alexander Nakarada (CreatorChords) | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://creatorchords.comRoyalty">https://creatorchords.comRoyalty</a> Free Music by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative">https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative</a> Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a></p><p>Hearts Of Iron by Alex-Productions | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://onsound.eu/Royalty">https://onsound.eu/Royalty</a> Free Music by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative">https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative</a> Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US</a></p>

It’s time to take a deep dive into a single medieval battle - the Battle of Courtrai, where the common people of a small country stood their ground against the most powerful military in medieval Europe.</p><p><strong>Sources:</strong> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.unknownsoldierspodcast.com/post/episode-66-the-battle-of-the-golden-spurs-maps-and-sources">https://www.unknownsoldierspodcast.com/post/episode-66-the-battle-of-the-golden-spurs-maps-and-sources</a></p><p><strong>Music:</strong></p><p>Ring Of Iron by WombatNoisesAudio | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://soundcloud.com/user-734462061Music">https://soundcloud.com/user-734462061Music</a> promoted by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative">https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative</a> Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US</a></p><p>"Day One" by LucorMusic via pond5.com</p>

<p>In the year 1361, a ragged band of veteran mercenaries called the White Company marched across the Alps into Italy. One of their leaders was a middle-aged English knight named Sir John Hawkwood.
