Hussites of Žatec and Louny, officially Union of Žatec and Louny (Czech: Žatecko-lounský svaz), were large military group of Hussites of Bohemian notable for defeating a large Imperial army sent to pacify them by Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor on request of the Papacy in October 1421.[1]
This struggle became known as the second crusade against the Hussites. Their victory paved the way for a further Hussite takeover of the Kingdom of Bohemia.
