Biography

Hanuš was the third son of Henry III of Lipá. He is first documented in 1397.[1]

Hanuš, his father, and his brothers were placed in charge of Rataje nad Sázavou after the death of Jan Ješek Ptáček of Pirkštein. The heir of Rataje nad Sázavou, Jan Ptáček of Pirkstein, was not yet of age. In 1403, Hanuš welcomed Racek Kobyla of Dvorce and some survivors of the attack by Sigismund of Hungary on Stříbrná Skalice into Rataje nad Sázavou.[2]

Hanuš was often in debt, and so from his seat in Rataje nad Sázavou orchestrated attacks on the royal estates.[3] This earned him a reputation as a robber knight.[2]

On February 1, 1412, Hanuš was ordered to pass his holdings to Jan Ptáček of Pirkstein, the rightful heir, though he remained in control of the village of Senohraby.[2] In 1415, he was noted as being Supreme Marshal of the Kingdom of Bohemia.[1] He died later that year.[3]

Family

Hanuš married Markéta of Šternberk. They had one daughter, Kateřina.[3]

Hanuš features prominently in the video game Kingdom Come: Deliverance as Sir Hanush of Leipa.[4]

gollark: Well, except <@515035771359723520>.
gollark: This is generally considered bad.
gollark: You insisted you were right, weren't really up to debating in good faith about it, launched a nonsensical vote, and ignored all criticism.
gollark: What I am saying (part of it) is that *regardless* of whether you think changing the rules like this is a good idea - I don't, gibson might, palaiologogoasgaosfiaosd does - the way this whole thing has been handled has been awful.
