7 Nov 1631: Patrick Fleming #Irish#Franciscan hagiographer & editor of of the life & works of St. Columbanus is killed by #Hussites at Benešov #Bohemia#otd (JMcC)
1/ last night I watched a #film with one of the most generic titles ever, "Medieval".
It's actually about Jan Žižka, a highly skilled military leader of the #Hussites - but before all of that fame.
It is, apparently, the most expensive #Czech film ever made. Somewhat surprisingly(?) the film is in English (Ben Foster, Sophie Lowe, and Michael Caine among the cast).
It is the most brutal #war film I can recall seeing.
