Notes
- ^ Hungary and Croatia were in a personal union. Sigismund of Luxembourg was the king of Hungary and at the same time the king of Croatia.
- ^ The Cumans (or Kumans) were a Turkic nation settled on Hungarian territory (Kunság), where were incorporated into Hungarian forces as mercenaries. During the invasion they were characterized by cruelty to civilians and increased plundering of villages.
- ^ Sigismund of Luxembourg was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 1433. Until that, he had invaded Bohemia as the king of Germany and the king of Hungary.
- ^ The Landfrieden of Plzeň remained the major power of the Bohemian loyalists and Catholicism of the entire Kingdom of Bohemia.
- ^ Hussitism spread especially among the Czech-speaking people, while the Bohemian Germans remained loyal to the Catholic Church and Emperor Sigismund. In some cases, German burghers took part in a defense of city during a Hussite siege. This seriously caused hostility between the Slavic Czechs and the German population of Bohemia.
- ^ Participated in the Third anti-Hussite Crusade under the leadership of Henry Beaufort.
- ^ The Poles supported the Czech Hussites in their efforts, except when Hussitism spread to Poland. The Polish Hussites were defeated in the battle of Grotniki (1439).
- ^ Considered and persecuted by Hussites as heretics. Adam de Rohan, a famed Adamite leader involved against Jan Žižka, along with others, perhaps survived the wars and then lived in secret.
- ^ The Hussite movement was formed by pilgrims and followers in southern and western Bohemia, Plzeň and in the newly founded town of Tábor.
- ^ The Kingdom of Bohemia under the Hussite movement was controlled by various Hussite unions (factions) led by hetmans (military commanders), the most strongest of which were Taborites, Praguers, Orebites (later Osphans), etc.
- ^ The "Praguers" were a Hussite union in central Bohemia and centered in the capital city of Prague.
- ^ The Orebites were a Hussite union in Eastern Bohemia.
- ^ The Hussites of Žatec and Louny were a union in Northern Bohemia.
- ^ The Orebites renamed themselves "Orphans" (Sirotci) after Žižka's death (1424).
- ^ Lithuania supported the Hussite revolution in the hope of receiving the Bohemian royal crown for itself. For this purpose the Lithuanian duke Sigismund Korybut came to Bohemia and was designed by the Hussites as their additional hetman (military commander).
- ^ Francesco II Sforza restored to power in the Duchy of Milan under the protection of Emperor Charles V and Pope Clement VII, who abandons a temporary alliance with Francis I of France.[2]
- ^ Liberation of Francis I under the condition that France abandons its claims on the Imperial Duchy of Milan and cedes the Duchy of Burgundy to the House of Habsburg.[3]
