Even After Death John Ziska Inspired
His Adherents.
John Ziska. who made war on be-
half of the prosecuted Hussites
against the Emperor Sigismund. was
only once defeated. and forced his
sovereign in the end to treat with
him on terms of equality.
Ziska lost one eye very early in his
career. and the other at the storming
OF Prague. Nevertheless. though to-
tally blind, he continued to lead his
adherents from victory to victory. He
died eventually of the plague while
besicging the castle of Craslau.
But even then his usefulness was
not at an end, for his skin was tanned
and made into drum-head. in ac-
cordance with his last wishes. and its
martial music served to inspire the
Hussites with an ardor that eventually
overcame all obstacles.
