When Hussite Polish magnates formed a confederation against 15-year-old King Ladislaw III, Regent Bishop Zbigniew Olenski of Cracow sent a large force against them at Grotniki, southwest of Posnan. Rebel leader Spytek of Melsztyn, the Castellan of Belz, was defeated and killed, crushing the resistance and virtually ending the Hussite cause in Poland.
