Summary/Abstract: The topic of this article is the engagement of Lipolt Krajiř of Kraig († 1433) in the Hussite wars. Krajiř was among the innumerable members of Sigismund of Luxembourg’s retinue who actively fought the Hussites in three central European lands. Lipolt’s importance within the Catholic party is especially proven by the fact that he was transferred—by Sigismund of Luxembourg and then by the Austrian Duke and Moravian Margrave Albert II of Habsburg—to places which were long threatened by the Hussites (Česke Budějovice) or actually under attack by them (Moravia, Austria).
