Sword and parchment

A battle that will change the course of history is about to begin. And its witnesses will remain silent no longer.

Prague, the beginning of the 15th century. The city is as tense as a drawn bowstring. While King Wenceslas IV drowns his sorrows in wine, the fiery words of Jan Hus ring out from the pulpit of the Bethlehem Chapel, stirring the conscience of the people. Among those listening are Jan Žižka of Trocnov, a man with the steel heart of a soldier, and Vavřinec of Březová, the king's scribe, who has believed his whole life in the power of reason and the written word.

When faith turns into revolution and words gain the sharpness of a sword, both men find themselves at the epicentre of events. Vavřinec gives up writing dry royal documents and takes up the pen of a chronicler to capture the birth of a new nation in blood and fire. Žižka, once a guard at the king's gate, transforms into a brilliant commander who turns wagons and faith into an invincible weapon.

“The Sword and the Parchment” is a gripping journey into the heart of the Hussite Wars, a story about the search for truth, the price of faith, and the men whose legacy has endured through the ages.
