 | When in 1419 a Hussite procession was stoned at Prague from the town hall, Zizka headed those who threw the town councillors from its windows. |
 | When a temporary armistice was concluded between the partisans of King Sigismund and the citizens of Prague, Zizka marched to Plzen (Pilsen) with his followers, but soon left that city, and, after defeating at Sudomer the partisans of Sigismund, arrived at Tabor, the newly founded stronghold of the advanced Hussites. |
 | At the end of June (1420) the siege of the city began, and on the r4th of July the armies of Sigismund made a general attack. |
