Corvinus85 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Sigh, they've finally done a movie not about a Western historical figure and this is the best title they could come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a terrible title, but the trailer does look interesting. I would say that your definition of "western" is probably a bit too narrow if you don't count a proto-Czech guy as Western :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Mostly Germans and other Bohemians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Žižka He was a Hussite and was a main general in the Hussite Wars. Before that he participated at the Battle of Grunwald fighting against the Teutonic Order. He made innovative use of the ever developing gunpowder weapons of the time and came up with the so called 'battle wagon.' Which is why this trailer doesn't impress me at all. 59 minutes ago, Veltigar said: I would say that your definition of "western" is probably a bit too narrow if you don't count a proto-Czech guy as Western :p It's exactly what it needs to be.

My ignorance of all this region's history is so deep! Is it Grunwald I'm thinking of, one of the cities where the warfare of 14th-16th century was so incessant from so many sides, that for generations, every citizen, whether farmer or potter, was also a soldier as a matter of course, and weapons were made constantly, as a matter of course, and kept in great numbers in the towns' and cities' armories, some of which are still there to be viewed?

I think you're thinking of the Swiss cantons, but I could be wrong. Grunwald is in northern Poland and it's primarily known just for this battle between the Teutonic Order and an alliance of Poland and Lithuania aided by forces from other Eastern Europeans nations.

I read about this some years back in a broad history of the region. I never wrote down the name of the city's armory (not my area of history, I thought -- and I can always find it again -- wrong!), and I've not rediscovered it yet. I just recall it started with a "G". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't quite get it -- searching I have typed in Graz more than once. However, I must not have done so, and typed "Grau" and suchlike, since I didn't find it. Also I had the date wrong, remembering incorrectly, from the 14th century .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
