Explanation: AI search is worse than fucking worthless, and I hate that it automatically comes up. Jan Zizka was a hero of the Hussite Revolution in the 15th century AD, and we have only a smattering of sources of his writing.

At no point did he write a self-titled autobiography about how great he was.

I made this out of frustration while searching for English language books on Jan Zizka a while back.
