Amid an armistice in the brutal doctrinal war among Bohemian Hussites, Jan Zizka led an offensive against Royalist Barons led by Lord John Mestecky of Opocno and Puta of Castolovice. Marching north from Hradec Králové, Zizka inflicted a terrible defeat at Skalice (Skalitz), near Jaromer. He then resumed his factional war with decisive victory in June at Malesov.
