Medieval Historian here: He wasn't a Robber Baron, he was conducting a guerilla campaign against the Rosenberg family in Wenceslaus's name, it was the Rosenberg's who called him a Robber Baron. The Rosenberg family openly supported King Sigismund and opposed King Wenceslaus. For this campaign Racek was appointed burgrave of Vyšehrad by King Wenceslaus, for loyal service to the King in 1412. The confusion comes from the fact that the Rosenberg's were a very wealthy and powerful family and therefore had the ability to have books and records made that contradicted Wenceslaus and called Racek a Robber Baron.

Sir Radzig Koybla was also known as a *follower* of Jan Hus, which was why he was murdered. The preachers claimed he was a heretic.

Holy shit, the fact that Johannes Hus was only mentioned as a silly side character worth no more but a whisper ends up playing such a pivotal (and lethal) role in the demise of our father, sir Radzig Kobyla, is insane! Wow, our world sure has some deep lore, ha ha ha. Another reason why it's so amazing that more and more historical games are being made nowadays.

I mean, Jan Hus is actually an important historical figure. In another timeline, he could have easily been the man who sparked the Protestant Reformation rather than Martin Luther. He wasn't just some man calling out the Catholics on their bullshit, he was THE man calling out the Catholics on their bullshit at the time. On a side topic, the Waldensians Heretics were also another group of proto-protestants. The Holy Roman Empire was the biggest religious (and sometimes literal) battleground in the Reformation and this game illustrates why. Between the Waldensians and Father Godwin, you begin to see why that was the case.

Part 2 is coming. Wait for it 😢

For those who play Crusader Kings games, basically this guy was the second lowest on the landholding totem pole, equivalent to a baron; So a noble you'd assign to look after a castle holding within a county. The character you play as? Well his family was basically the occupants who were in the blacksmith building slot of that castle building. So, just a reference for scale, you play as a lowborn who has a minor title, so you're not a commoner, or a peasant, just a lowborn in the court of nobles, which is why Henry has such autonomy, he was part of Sir Radzig's retinue, he is basically equal in rank to those castle guards, but lower in rank to knights while being higher in rank to a peasant or serf, like other educated lowborns.

I really began to understand his character once the nobles were brought the counterfeit coin. Hanush, realizing it was fake gold in his lands, threw a fit and sat in the back kicking his feet and swearing while Radzig was on top of the situation as soon as he could. Guy lost his castle but he was still on the ball doing what he can.

Racek Kobyla is a really strange name. Racek means Seagull and Kobyla means Mare. The town of Kutná Hora (Where he was killed) is Kuttenberg. I didn't recognize much of the other names or towns mentioned though. If you knew this, I apologize for wasting your time. And if anyone else reading this is Czech, feel free to correct me.

Though number and sex is not mentioned. Giving they were "left under the guardianship of" this kind of indicates they were not yet adults at the time of his death. Fun Fact: King Wenceslaus IV had Kutná Hora burned to the ground and it's inhabitants, who weren't killed outright by his troops, thrown down the local mine shafts in retribution for the murder of Racek... Seems killing the King's man while he was there to collect taxes for said king doesn't end well. lol

He's name isn't pronounced as Rachek in Czech, but like Ratsek. Dvojitz should be pronounced like "Dvoyiitz" but it's a wrong title\surname, by most chances, Dvorce (pronounced in English like Dvortse) is more likely his real title\surname. Srbna Skalitce is not a Racek's fee (fief is a French translation of the Latin "feudum"). As Royal Hetman (close to Marchal in England) he is obliged to manage royal manors in his area of response. Merhojed definitely doesn't belong to Skalitze Manor, it's mentioned in dialogues several times. For example, Jindrich, mentions that Hanush should appoint a new bailiff soon, which means that it belongs to Rattaje manor, not Skalize. Hovewer codex mentions, that in 15th century Merhojed were part of Sazau Monatery manor, but we don't know was it during the game, or later (because there were some bad stuff with Rattaye during hussites war in 1446). Rovna is questionable - Skalize folk attended the Rovna church, but its administrative appointment isn't clear in any dialogue or codex. And we actually don't know if he truly was a robber baron, because there's no evidence online in English. However game developers and historical consultants knew the Czech language, so it is obvious that they could found sources in the Czech and the statement is correct. However we couldn't check the source itself, and his authority or interest in those statements. So it's at least questionable because there are some historical mistakes in the game. Racek of Dvorce was a Hussite himself. Mob, who killed him were Papists. He had some children, but their names aren't saved in history.
