Jobst of Moravia was Margrave of Moravia from 1375 and Elector of Brandenburg from 1388; he also held the throne of the King of the Romans, although he did so for a mere 15 weeks until his death (1410-11). He was the son of John Henry of Luxembourg and the nephew of Emperor Charles IV. He achieved his standing in Europe due to military and political intrigues, aimed primarily against members of his own dynasty, particularly Wenceslas IV, against whom he rebelled along with the Moravian forces in the so-called Margraviate Wars.
He initially supported Sigismund of Luxembourg's efforts to seize the Bohemian crown, but in 1403 he began opposing him and together with Albert IV, Duke of Austria, took part in a rebellion against him. His previous support for Sigismund was probably motivated more by self-interest - it ensured him future influence as long as it seemed that Wenceslas would be deposed and Sigismund, or even Jobst himself, would take his place. His campaign against Wenceslas won him and other nobles many privileges. Then, in 1402, when the situation changed, he rebelled against Sigismund and was even instrumental in liberating Wenceslas from captivity. We don 't know whether the change was due to cunning or conscience, but to the end of his life he remained surprisingly loyal to Wenceslas IV.
Towards the end of his life he even stood against Sigismund in the election of King of the Romans, and won. He didn 't enjoy the crown for long though, and died shortly after.
Jobst was not only politically astute, but also a very thrifty governor - many rulers, including Sigismund himself, were financially indebted to him. In his day, it was said that it was Jobst, and not either Wenceslas or Sigismund, who was the true uncrowned sovereign of Bohemia. At the time our game takes place, however, he was in debt up to his ears.

Thanks to him, my home city of Brno was capital of Holy Roman Empire for few weeks.
What a terrible notion ...
I love the videos where you dig into the lesser known people like Jobst. Super famous in his own country in sure, but id never heard of him before.
They are a lot harder to do, at least accurately, because there are far fewer sources that give information, but they are rewarding.
Well actually its probably more like a collage material never heard of him in elementary or high school being from Moravia. But i immedeatly recognised the name because here in Brno (the city u showed at the begining) is street called Joštova in the center
And there is statue of Jošt in Moravske namesti.
I remember this guy from the game now that you show the clip. At first I had not idea who you were talking about.
Yeah, he doesn't play a huge part in KCD, so if you dont pay close attention in the final act, you probably won't remember him.
Yay!!! More kingdom come deliverance history. My favorite! Excellent video 💙
Glad you enjoyed! More to come.
what beautiful wives.
Yeah, these noble women back in the days were surely stunning and breathtaking.
no wonder he died childless
No wonder those marriages produced no children.
Were those really portraits of his wives???
I believe the portraits were made after the death of said wives, since oil painting technique was not quite refined or in specialised practice at the time. But nontheless the paintings are based on accounts describing their phisionomy, so presumably they weren't very beautiful.
The wives had me dead bro good shit XD
hey, i love what you are doing here, could you put your sources in the description tho?
I don't have the papers that i wrote for these topics anymore, but i can list my sources in the future.
@@ParryThis thanks
Sounds like an active guy.
History would most likely agree with you.
3:16 this is Albert II not IV, He died over 30 years before all of this
Yeah, sometimes it's difficult to get the pictures right. It is the most common mistake i make while making these videos.
9:20....ummm those wives though!
This guy could pick them. In the spirit of full disclosure, there are no available renderings of his wives that i was able to find, so i chose some not particularly flattering paintings styled after the period art style just for visual representation.
Honestly mad I choked when i saw the wives
I find a bit sad that the game isnt more intriging. With all this Characters switching sides all the time.
Jesus Christ Be Praised
Henrys come to see us.
