4. || The Defenestration of Prague – the Weird Mass Murder via Windows || Episode 4

When you kill a man in order to destroy his ideas, you may find yourself achieving the exact opposite. Jan Hus may have burned at the stake in Constance, but his followers weren't about to give up. On the contrary – the great revolution was drawing ever closer.In this episode, we follow the chaotic developments in the Kingdom of Bohemia in the wake of Hus’ death. Great warlords and noblemen pick their sides, King Sigismund plans his next bloody move, his brother Wenceslaus grows weaker by the day. And unnoticed by all the highborn politicians, a grassroots movement of the poor and the disenfranchised is preparing to strike…We’re going to learn the meaning of the word “defenestration”. We’re going to witness several gruesome murders. And the war we’ve all been expecting? Well, it’s knocking on the door.For better understanding of this episode, we highly recommend listening to Episodes 1, 2 and 3 where we talk not only about the person of Master Jan Hus, but also about many of the principal players on the political stage in Bohemia.
