Radzig Studies Part 3;
Following on from parts one and two of me getting frustrated at the lack of Dadzig information on his Wikipedia page and doing a deep dive into pointless and obscure information; time for the final boss line of the vague wiki -
‘In the service of King Wenceslaus, Racek helped wage a guerrilla campaign against the Rosenberg family. He acted with other men such as Jan Žižka, Jan Sokol of Lamberk, and Matthew the Leader.’
Or, as @brittnodo puts it, ‘those vague, “oh yeah! He also engaged in an avengers style team up, anywho fifteen years later he gets walloped to death by miners rip to him.” passages.’
In this post, I will wildly speculate about…
- What happened during Papa’s rebel era, and just when was it?
- What kind of relationship did Racek and Zizka have? As well as some more biographical information on Zizka,
- Was Sir Racek a Robber Knight? What did he do to deserve that description, and how should we even define such a term?
- What’s the significance of him being Burgrave of Vysehrad?
- And some general information about the court of King Wenceclas IV to tantalise you for my upcoming post about Wenceclas where I try and explore more of his historical ‘character’ and his similarities to Hans.
(Heads up, this is… a bit of a long one. Final word count: 4,300+)
