JAN ZIZKAONE - EYED HUSSITE GENERAL ( ~1370 - d. 1424 ) Jan Zizka became a leader of the Hussite armies during the early Protestant Hussite Wars and was undefeated in battle. He perfected the use of 'armored' wooden wagons, cannon and tactics that surround it - enabling him and his armies to defeat every Catholic Crusade that was launched against the Kingdom of Bohemia. Zizka's break-out when surrounded at Kutna Hora, was history's first recorded mobile artillery maneuver. The only general in Bohemian history with similar success was Prokop the Great, who learned from and fought with Zizka. Prokop took over after Zizka's death and met with great success on the battlefield. Medal measures about 90 mm tall with Ribbon...the medal is 40 mm in diameter.
