Bohemia
Bohemia was a kingdom of the Holy Roman Empire ruled from Prague. In 1337 John of Luxembourg, who had received the crown in 1310, was king.
John died fighting for France at Crécy in 1346. His son Charles IV made Prague an imperial capital and founded Charles University in 1348. After Jan Hus was burned in 1415, Jan Žižka's armies repelled crusades in the Hussite wars. The Habsburgs inherited the throne in 1526; the Prague defenestration in 1618 began the Thirty Years' War, and defeat at White Mountain in 1620 ended the kingdom's old liberties.
