ZDENKO, RELIGIOUS AND MARTYR
Zdenko, of the Order of Saint John, died a prisoner in 1424 at the hands of the Hussite general Zisca, who ordered the Taborites to hack him to pieces.
Before his death Zdenko had expressed the wish that his dead body should give testimony to his steadfastness in the faith if the individual parts would be sent to all corners of the country. His
Wlaschowitz [Waskowitz] Castle was completely destroyed.
