Determined to seize Bohemia, despite Imperial defeats at Sudomer and Porici, Sigismund of Hungary laid siege to Prague. At nearby Vitkov Hill he attempted to drive off the great Hussite leader Jan Zizka and suffered a decisive defeat. (The battlesite was renamed Zizkov in honour of Zizka.) Sigismund withdrew until his renewed offensive later that year, repulsed at Vysehrad.
