Battle of Lipany

|
The Battle of Lipany on May 30, 1434 virtually ended the Hussite Wars. An army of Utraquist nobility and Catholics defeated radical Taborites led by Prokop the Great, who fell in the battle.
The Taborite army was almost completely destroyed, and Taborites as a military force ceased to exist. The road to accept Compact of Basel was open; it was signed on 5 July 1436 in Jihlava and the next month, Sigismund was accepted as a King of Bohemia by all major factions.
The last formation of Taborites under command of Jan Roháč of Dubé was besieged in the castle Sion near Kutná Hora. It was then captured by Sigismund forces, and on 9 September, 1437 Jan Roháč, who still refused to accept Sigismund as his King, was hanged in Prague.cs:Bitva u Lipan nl:Slag bij Lipany
