In continuing war in Bohemia after Imperial defeat at Nemecky Brod, former Hussite General Cenek of Wartenberg led well-armed Royalist cavalry against Taborite Hussites under Jan Zizka, who took a defensive position on a steep hill near Horice, north of Hradec Králové. Forced to fight dismounted, the Royalists were routed and the Taborites soon won again at Strachuv.
