Notes

1. The contemporary wall paintings in the Holy Cross Chapel of Karlstein Castle include King Arthur and other English rulers.

2. B. Matthews, The Court of Richard II (1968).

3. N. Saul, Richard II (1997) 345–58. B.D. Boehm and J. Fajt, Prague, The Crown of Bohemia: 1347–1437 (2005), 93, are less certain of Bohemian influence at the English Court.

4. He preferred Točnik Castle where he rebuilt the great hall. It was the largest in a royal castle and was painted with images of his ancestors. Wenceslas also rebuilt Křivoklát and Kunratice castles, both not far from Prague.

5. C. Allmand, Henry V (1992), 252–53.

6. Little interested in either Bohemian politics or culture, Sigismund’s imperial rule – often from Buda in Hungary and Krakow in Poland – did nothing to quell the many religious and political conflicts that beset his troubled eighteen-year-rule to 1437. His attempt to involve himself in French and Burgundian affairs only encouraged Philip the Good of Burgundy to annex some of the imperial fiefs adjoining Flanders including Holland (1425–28), Brabant (1430), Hainault (1433) and Luxembourg (1443).
