The topic of this article is the engagement of Lipolt Krajíř of Kraig († 1433) in the Hussite wars. Krajíř was among the innumerable members of Sigismund of Luxembourg’s retinue who actively fought the Hussites in three central European lands. Lipolt’s importance within the Catholic party is especially proven by the fact that he was transferred—by Sigismund of Luxembourg and then by the Austrian Duke and Moravian Margrave Albert II of Habsburg—to places which were long threatened by the Hussites (České Budějovice) or actually under attack by them (Moravia, Austria).
The study examines chronicles from the second half of the 18th century written by the České Budějovice master baker Lukas Bernard Schneider. In addition to the Schneider Chronicle recounting the history of the town between 1253 and 1768, attention is paid to its copies. The external dnd internal attributes of the manuscripts have been analysed and the filiation and comparison of Schneider´s Chronicles with other chronicles produced by České Budějovice burghers during the early modern age have been carried out.
