Nevertheless, Divish was able to defuse the situation without explicitly submitting to Sigismund's demand for loyalty.

Markvart approached the city wall to parley with Divish, speaking politely but with the clear threat demonstrated by the army at his back. The next morning, the people of Talmberg awoke to find Sigismund's army outside their gates, having put Skalitz to the torch. Divish wished his old friend luck, and promised to keep a still-recovering Henry from leaving town - leading Henry to embark on the quest Homecoming. With Talmberg Castle ill-suited for a siege, and hoping that Sigismund would not waste his time or his men in a quarrel with Divish, they decided to keep heading south to Rattay, in the hope that the acting Lord there, Hanush of Leipa, could give them shelter. Luckily, it was only Sir Radzig, leading the survivors of Skalitz, who had managed to slip out of the castle without notice. Under orders from Divish, the guards on the battlement prepared themselves for an attack. That evening, amidst a heavy storm, the scouts reported a large group of people approaching the town. Unfortunately, he could not risk his small garrison to intervene to help his friend, admitting that they would be nearly useless against the Cuman army. The surviving citizens, including Sir Radzig, were holed up in the castle, with seemingly no way to escape or fight back against the marauders.ĭivish ordered Sir Robard to prepare Talmberg for war, concerned that Sigismund would turn his attention to them once he had dealt with Skalitz. While Havel Medek was condemned for his actions, he was not punished for his actions against Divish.īy 1403, Divish was living peacefully in Talmberg with Stephanie and his loyal captain of the guard, Sir Robard, when a horse-rider named Henry galloped through the gates in Run!, with several Cumans in pursuit.Īn injured and exhausted Henry reported dire news - King Sigismund and his general Markvart von Auliz had, without warning, brought an army down upon the peaceful mining town of Skalitz, and killed everyone who was not able to escape. Finally, his devoted but much-younger wife Stephanie and his loyal friend, the Lord of Skalitz, Radzig Kobyla managed to raise a ransom and freed him.

In 1391, Havel Medek of Valdek conquered the castle of Talmberg, burned the village of Pribyslavitz to the ground and captured Divish, imprisoning him for seven years.
