Descripcion foto: The Battle of Vyšehrad was a series of engagements at the start of the Hussite War between Hussite forces and Catholic crusaders sent by Emperor Sigismund. Sigismund planned a main attack to Prague using soldiers from Hradčany and Vyšehrad, and counting on reinforcements from Plzeň. The plan of battle was sent to Hradčany and Vyšehrad by courier, but the courier was captured by Hussites. The Hussites sent then some soldiers under the command of Jan Žižka to stop the march of soldiers from Plzeň. Hussite artillery fire successfully stopped the attack of the Hungarian and German cavalry. Then the Hussite forces made their attack. After the battle, the crusaders' formations withdrew. Four hundred knights were killed by the Hussites, who didn't take any prisoners of war, and the rest of the attacking forces retreated.
