No, Jan Zizka did NOT write a book on how great he was

I will now advocate which I don't do that often.

#TheHistoryOfTheCrusades podcast https://crusadespod.com/
Is one of the top two podcasts I've ever heard. I've paid for #Sharyn s work for years and love every second of it. She takes you through ALL of the crusades, the European christian crusades, the crusades against the #Cathars, the #Baltic crusades and the #Reconquista. But then she takes you to more obscure areas like the #Hussites where #JanZizka confronts violent #Adamite #Nudists.

History of the Crusades - Home

1/ last night I watched a #film with one of the most generic titles ever, "Medieval".

It's actually about Jan Žižka, a highly skilled military leader of the #Hussites - but before all of that fame.

It is, apparently, the most expensive #Czech film ever made. Somewhat surprisingly(?) the film is in English (Ben Foster, Sophie Lowe, and Michael Caine among the cast).

It is the most brutal #war film I can recall seeing.

The combat is gruesome, but it is the civilian
