Recovering from defeat at Vitkov Hill ( July 1420), a fresh expedition of Imperial Princes entered Bohemia against the Hussite heretics and besieged Zatec (German Saaz), northwest of Prague. On false reports of an approaching army under the great Jan Zizka, the so-called Second Crusade withdrew with costly losses inflicted by the pursuing garrison of Zatec.
