Who Was King Wenceslas IV - Kingdom Come Deliverance History

- Опубліковано 5 лют 2021
- Wenceslas IV of Luxembourg was the son of the highly successful monarch Charles IV. He inherited the Bohemian throne and attained the German crown by election. However, he did not inherit his father's predisposition for ruling. Already during his lifetime he was known for being a weak, idle and moody ruler who was afflicted with many ailments, as well as difficulties meeting his royal obligations, despite the fact that he had been groomed for rule since early childhood (he was crowned Bohemian King at the age of only two years). He was more interested in hunting, alcohol, courtesans and pleasures of the court. During his time as king, the lands of the Bohemian Crown underwent several wars and conflicts involving his relatives - his own brother Sigismund and his cousins, the Moravian Margraves.
The event that triggered the Margraviate Wars was that Wenceslas occupied the vacated estates of the Olomouc Archdiocese, which by law belonged to the nobles. Under the leadership of Jobst, the Moravian lords joined with Sigismund in open revolt against the King, which had less to do with the Olomouc estates than with the legitimacy of the rule of Wenceslas, who in the meantime had been stripped of the Imperial Crown by the imperial electors for his incompetence and unwillingness to rule. Later he also lost the power of the Bohemian Crown, when he made numerous concessions and awarded the nobles many privileges, de facto transferring the ruling power to them. His unwillingness to meet obligations resulted in his abduction twice (thereby removing him from the throne) - first in 1394 by the Czech nobles and then in 1402 by his brother Sigismund.
Wenceslas initially supported the reform proposals of Jan Hus and his adherents, but he did nothing to save the reformer's life when he was sentenced to be burned at the stake by the Church. He thus set in motion what was later to become the largest (and only more or less successful) popular revolt in Europe - the Hussite Wars. However, he did not live to see these events, since he died in 1419. After his death, his brother Sigismund of Hungary seized the crown - but he had to fight for it, since not everyone acknowledged his claim, and once he had the crown he did not live to enjoy it for long.

Some high quality historical content right here. And in not biased in any way. Subscribed.
Completely not biased in anyway, and you are 2 different people in every way
Dont sound similar at all. Completely distinct.
Fancy seeing you here stranger.
Nothing to see here, just a fan of high quality content, clearly.
Holy heck it's you! Love your content lol
people saying "game is biased"
literally own lords you serve and other people you talk to in game says wenceslas is an idiot and that they would really want someone else, but not Sigismund.
Love Kingdom Come Deliverance, and I adore history as a topic. Great Stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it! I too love history and Kingdom Come Deliverance.
Some parts of this video are spoken word for word from the wiki page - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenceslaus_IV_of_Bohemia. 2:30 onwards covers the last line of the 'Biography' section before going directly on to the 'rule' section. Absolutely nothing wrong with using wiki as a source, but no citation given or indication provide that these sections are complete read-outs.
I hope this is not the case for the other episodes in this series.
Was looking all over the other channel for these videos! I thought I was going nuts or that you took them down. Thankfully a bit of Google Fu led me to this new channel, but for a minute I thought I had gone crazy or lost my memory. Wanted to rewatch these after the Kingdom Come 2 announcement. Looking forward to more, and also my FOMO anxiety is soaring right now because you have days upon days of historical videos I missed out on over the years because I didn't get the memo you made a separate channel for them. 😅
Well, i am glad you found them. I decided i liked making history content so much that it deserved it's own channel.
Potential for this to be my new favorite channel. Excellent content!
Welcome aboard! I sure hope it turns out that way.
Love the new channel. Looking forward to all the great historical content you are going to produce.
Much appreciated!
Dude I’m glad I found this after you made a few, I’m going to have to go through your vids and find something to suggest.
Hope you enjoy!
Didnt know a czech game would be that popular
I think it deserves to be even more popular than it is. The success it achieved is impressive, especially for a first release, but there are a lot of people out there that love this type of game, but for some reason still haven't tried KCD.
It's one of the greatest games of the 21st century. I mean, it's not in the top 100 of greatest games, but it's certainly on the list.
@@ParryThisit was me, I was into it but didn’t try it. Now I’m 80 hours into my first playthrough.
Mafia series, Operation Flashpoint, Vietcong, Samorost, Factorio, Arma series, DayZ, Truck Simulator series, Silenthill Downpour, Beatsaber, Gray Zone, etc… The Czechs has a made many great and popular games, many of them classics.
Cheers for the video
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Can't believe I'm late to the party. Awesome video!
No worries! Better late than never.
Henry filled that camp full of uppercuts at 5:00 🔨
Wenceslas IV. was known for his alcoholism, when the Hussites conquered Zbraslav monastery, where was Wenceslas IV. temporarily buried. They sat the dead body together them in "banquet" and drank alcohol, i mean they poured alcohol into his dead mouth. At that, they shouted the words "but you also liked to drank with us during your life". Only a few years later, his body was finally buried in the church of St. Vitus, next to the body of his father Charles IV. - the greatest of the Czech kings.
btw. Luxenbourgs since Charles IV. wasnt only germans, mother of Charles IV. - Eliška Přemyslovna was member of original czech dynasty. She was reason why Luxenbourgs had rule in Czech lands. Charles IV. had her Přemyslian blood, and he known it, and was proud.
Im so glad i saw the poll
I am also glad that you saw the poll.
Patrolling the Bohemian kingdoms makes you wish for a nuclear winter
I like your intro it’s very epic
I was going for epic. Thanks.
Actual history. Parry this. For maximum dissrespect simply unscrew the pommel and proceed to throw it at the subscribe button.
Here super early and 1st comment epic
First Comment ever on the channel. Thats Very Epic!
Oh Yeah!!
Excited for this channel.
Yeey
Indeed Nikola Tesla. Yeey.
Wait hold on so somehow way down the line you are related to king Wenceslas VI that’s actually really cool so your basically present day nobility nice😂
Its more of an interesting footnote. Most people who can track their lineage back at least 10 generations can find some level of nobility or even royalty in there.
@@ParryThis that is true I actually figured out with my very far down the line Native American lineage I am somehow related to a chieftain but I mean it’s really cool that you are somehow related to king Wenceslas VI I mean even thought it very well could be a common thing still cool nonetheless
@@ParryThis I tracked my paternal side back to the late 1600s, all Dutch dirt farmers. No wonder I ended up in Detroit.
Of course, his name was Vaclav.
Me a Czech: To byl náš Václav ne?
Me, an American: Ano, to je váš Václav
@@ParryThis me an American from the southeast US, what the heck are yall talkin about ?
@@filthyswit8664 Me as a Brazillian, do que diabos vocês estão falando?
King Wenceslas of Bohemia presents this golden globe award to king Henry of England.
“Why hello my dear Wenceslas of Bohemia”
“How fair thee good Henry of England”
Nice

Interesting turn of events. I promise, however, that i am not he.

Bruh even if the game is biased, you literally play as the child to the kings hetman, of course you won't like the other guy.

If you play on pc you can use nexus mods to make it 3rd person
@@805err no luck i just have ps5 , thank you though
@@AdamPaul2222 sounds like a reason to get a PC and buy a second copy of the greatest historical RPG ever! No... who on earth would do that? Ummm... I may possibly own it on Steam, GOG, Xbox, and Playstation.
