It took place on 26 February 1469, in the vicinity of the village of Vilémov and ended with the encirclement of Corvinus' army in the valley of the river Doubrava, after which the two monarchs met and talked in Úhrov averting a direct clash of troops.

Although this combat situation is called a battle, it was primarily a strategic victory of the Bohemian army, which was achieved with small numbers of casualties on both sides.

He invaded Moravia and gradually liquidated the positions of George of Poděbrady, who had so far unsuccessfully summoned the Czech army for an effective counterattack.

However, the acute threat of invasion and persistent political efforts finally convinced the Czech nobility to send their troops, and the army summoned to Kutná Hora was soon ready to face an outnumbered attack.

Reports of the number of Czechs, poor supplies and the winter finally forced Corvinus to retreat back to Moravia through the area of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands.

Matthias was thus forced to meet George of Poděbrady, which allegedly took place on 27 February[4] in the building of a burnt-out forge in the village of Úhrov under a later memorable linden tree.
