Battle of Domažlice - Domazlice, Czech Republic - Battlefields on Waymarking.com

The Imperial army was besieging the city of Domažlice since 8 August, when the sight of the approaching and singing Hussite relief army led by Prokop the Bald and hearing their battle hymn "Ktož jsú boží bojovníci" ("Ye Who are Warriors of God"), led to mass panicking among the crusaders, who fled through the Bohemian Forest. The Hussites immediately set after the fleeing Imperial army and annihilated its remnants. Reportedly, 8,000 wagons and all the equipment of the crusaders were captured. The crusader army was accompanied by papal legate Julian Cesarini who escaped, but lost all of his luggage in the retreat, including the secret correspondence and the Papal bull charging him to hire crusaders.

In 2015, a monument with a giant and probably the largest granite ring calyx in Europe was completed, created by its successful addition from the austere First Republic torso on the same place where the Hussite National Monument in Domažlice was originally to be built from folk collections and donations.
